Sam has to save the day and Frodo does everything wrong again – even in Baldur’s Gate 3. Everything as always.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is a gigantic success. Most people probably know the huge RPG from Larian and the many victories at the “Game Awards” have only contributed to the game becoming even better known. In a small video, two of the most famous fantasy heroes ever play the game, namely Frodo and Sam from “The Lord of the Rings” – or rather their two actors, Elijah Wood and Sean Astin.

What can be seen in the video? The two actors, best known from “The Lord of the Rings”, talk to Larian boss Swen Vincke and he invites them to a round of “Baldur’s Gate 3” so that they can see what all this hype is actually about has.

Elijah Wood seems to like the idea of ​​an origin character and plays “The Dark Desire” – probably the bloodiest and most gruesome way you can experience Baldur’s Gate 3. Sean Astin chooses a Tiefling and seems to be rather good-natured.

Ultimately, this always leads to small and large conflicts. So he not only falls for the necromantic book, but also chops off the hand of a “helping magician” or kicks a small squirrel with full force.

While Elijah Wood lets himself be completely absorbed by the necromancy book, Astin already suspects that it won’t end well. After the Larian boss ensures that Wood jumps to his death, Astin quickly loots him – but the book seems to be tied to him, because his corpse doesn’t want to give it up either.

In the end, Astin has no choice but to throw his friend into the lava in order not only to free the world from the Dark Desire, but also to burn the necromancy book.

Even though the video ends up primarily being an advertisement for Baldur’s Gate 3 and the Xbox version, it’s still nice to see how the two actors behave in Baldur’s Gate 3 and what interesting conversations came about as a result of the actions in the game.

After all, Sam had to save the world again…
