Player calculates Baldur’s Gate 3 has 236 hours of recorded dialogue — the character with the most lines is exactly who you’d expect (not Shadowheart, Gael, or Karlach)

BG3 has 236 hours 55 minutes 45 seconds worth of Voice Lines from r/BaldursGate3

Seen at a glance, the scale is staggering. The narrator — voiced by Amelia Tyler — tops the chart with about 14 hours, 43 minutes and 55 seconds of recorded narration, a testament to the amount of work that went into the game’s storytelling.

The most-voiced party character is Astarion, who clocks in at 13 hours, 6 minutes and 23 seconds — a heavy workload for Neil Newbon. Shadowheart follows in third with just under 12½ hours, with Gale and Lae’zel close behind; both exceed 11 hours and complete the top five. Karlach ranks sixth with about ten hours and 25 minutes, and Wyll sits seventh, the first of the companions with under ten hours of voice work.

All of that recording contributes to the rich, immersive experience Baldur’s Gate 3 delivers. Larian’s adaptation of table-top Dungeons & Dragons to a video game format raised the bar for narrative RPGs, and the cast’s performances play a central role in bringing the characters to life — making lines like Tyler’s especially memorable.
