The developers of Baldur’s Gate 3 went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of the game, including dialogue and voiceovers, was meticulously crafted. One player recently discovered a remarkable example of this attention to detail involving Minsc’s trusty hamster companion, Boo.
In Act Three of the game, players gain access to Minsc, but many may not have encountered him yet or chosen to include him in their group. As a result, they may have missed out on the unique interactions between Minsc and Boo, which include personalized dialogue and voice lines for each companion in the game.
Interestingly, the voice actors for all the companions even recorded lines specifically for the unlikely scenario of using Boo as a weapon. This niche circumstance was given careful consideration, resulting in some humorous and entertaining lines from the characters.
For instance, Lae’zel exclaims, “The mighty Boo strikes!” when throwing Boo at an enemy. Jaheira, who has a pre-existing partnership with Minsc and Boo from previous Baldur’s Gate games, delivers some of the most amusing lines, such as “Land softly, or the ranger will break me in half” and “Eyes, et cetera. You know what to do.”
These interactions add an extra layer of fun and excitement to the game, making the choice between Jaheira and Minsc even more enticing. So, if you’re looking to spice up your playthrough, consider including these well-established companions and enjoy their entertaining interactions along the way.
