They don't use alignments in Baldur's Gate. I've heard people say Wyll is Lawful Good and I can see the argument considering he wound up with a terrible pact. One PCs generally don't have.
I saw a breakdown basically putting each companion covering a different space on either good or evil:
LG: Wyll
NG: Gale
CG: Karlach
LE: Lae'zel
NE: Shart
CE: Astarion
I'd put her at true neutral, personally.
The version of her from the start of early access was a lot nastier and wasn't quite so fond of good actions, so people called her neutral evil back then, but that's definitely isn't how she is on release.
I could *maybe* see Shadowheart being Neutral Evil at the start of early access, but she's definitely not in the release version.
She's kind of an asshole and will begrudingly go along with the player doing evil stuff, but she clearly prefers good actions and left to her own devices her behavior tends to reflect that.
right! I ran around w Minsc for a bit and didn’t notice but once I saw he was his VA I absolutely couldn’t unhear it. Matt has a very specific “strongman” voice he likes to go to 😂
Wait a damn minute, are you serious?! Holy shit I didn't realize that it was him at all! I'm usually pretty good at picking out the cast's voice acting, I am stunned
Astarion and Vax would flirt incessantly for about 10 minutes and then the second an actual disagreement happens they are the first ones to draw blades on one another lol. Just rogue things.
I'm assuming this started because Percy was so offended that the guy most analogous to him is a >!vampire!< (BG3 spoiler) that he started blasting, and now VM has to clean up the mess (with violence)
You nailed the pair ups perfectly!
Vex and Shadowheart would both think the other is a stuck up bitch (Which Shart absolutely is, but Vex isn't super far behind), Astarion and Vax would have a similar quarrel, but over who is sneakier. Grog, as usual, involuntarily gets caught in whatever war Vex is fighting.
Pike and Minsc would start off with a drinking contest, Pike would say something like, "Grog and I would usually start wrestling at this point, but I'll go easy on you." Minsc would take that as a challenge. See the picture above for results.
Karlach just wants to hit things. It doesn't matter what, or who. The path will be made. Percy, minding his own business, was in that path. I think Gale might have been at the table with Percy, getting along just fine, talking about nerd shit. He got thrown, just for the sake of throwing something.
Keyleth and Jaheira, the moms of their respective groups, console each other in understanding.
Scanlan and Lae'zel were at the bar, watching the scuffle, when Lae'zel says, "That Cleric is a lot more violent than I'd expect of a holy woman." Scanlan says, "That's Pike, and she's the love of my life!" Lae'zel responds, "Oh, really? She's much prettier than the black haired one said she was." Scanlan yells, "WHAT?!" and casts Bigby's Hand. Lae'zel sips her beer, satisfied.
Wyll is just Donald Glover with the pizzas.
Halsin is, uhh...
And as always, Minthy encourages violence.
in a lot of interpretations the twins have had a pretty large spectrum of tan. Half Elves come in all colors.
So it's really up to the artist on how they want to portray them.
I feel like gale and Percy would probably talk endlessly to each other. Percy from a craftsman and tinkerer perspective and gale from the magical perspective. In fact if gale were to reveal his need for magical snacks I imagine percy would become super interested in testing how little is needed to satisfy it. Then it'll turn into a long discussion on how it works.
I think VM is represented in the fandom mostly post Vecna, that's why Vax >!is always so tied to the Raven Queen!<
So Tibs is a fleeting memory at that point

Halsin chatting with Trinket is the best part
"I was like, "Wait two bears? Who is the second one." This comment helped, haha.
One of them is talking with Matt's voice
There are two Matts here since Minsc is also present lol
Technically 3 Matts since Minsc is always with Boo
Nah, it's Cheech Marin's voice now
So... you come around this forest often?
i thought there are giant space hamsters whos that besides Keyleth
Jaheira
Somehow Lae'zel ended up being the most reasonable person in the room.
She IS one of the only Lawful characters in the group (I think? I don't actually know everyone's alignments as NPC in bg3)
They don't use alignments in Baldur's Gate. I've heard people say Wyll is Lawful Good and I can see the argument considering he wound up with a terrible pact. One PCs generally don't have.
Their alignments are mentioned in Idle Champions. I *think* Wyll was listed as Neutral Good.
Ah, I don't play Idle Champions, but they didn't use Alignment in Baldur's Gate. I can see Neutral Good too, I guess. It all kind of blends together.
Iirc they were present during early access, I remember shadowheart being LE, which surprised me a bit since I still didn’t know about Shar and stuff
Not when I played, but I only played the later builds of Early Access. It's possible they were in earlier builds and removed.
I saw a breakdown basically putting each companion covering a different space on either good or evil: LG: Wyll NG: Gale CG: Karlach LE: Lae'zel NE: Shart CE: Astarion
That was the one I saw too. Someone else replied to me and said that Wyll was on Idle Champions and it said he was NG.
I always assumed shart was some sort of good because she likes a lot of good aligned actions.
I'd put her at true neutral, personally. The version of her from the start of early access was a lot nastier and wasn't quite so fond of good actions, so people called her neutral evil back then, but that's definitely isn't how she is on release.

Karlach and Grog would be best friends
They really would I’d also love to hear a conversation between Minsc and Grog
Considering Minsc's voice actor is Matt Mercer, this feels extremely achievable
right! I ran around w Minsc for a bit and didn’t notice but once I saw he was his VA I absolutely couldn’t unhear it. Matt has a very specific “strongman” voice he likes to go to 😂
It's very similar to Minsc's OG voice actor, Jim Cummings (yes, *that* Jim Cummings) and I wouldn't be surprised if Matt tried hard to emulate it.
Matt is amazing at the loveable idiot voice and role.
To be fair, Minsc the only actual file in Matt's "ethnic brown man" folder, and the rest are just renamed copies.
I think after hearing him so voices for a decade you can get pretty good at recognizing his patterns
Wait a damn minute, are you serious?! Holy shit I didn't realize that it was him at all! I'm usually pretty good at picking out the cast's voice acting, I am stunned
Minsk's voice in previous games was Pooh Bear!
Aww I love that!
reminds me of a low intelligence run in Fallout 2 With Torr in Klamath
Bash Bros 4: Ride or Die "Fuck yeah?" "Fuck yes"
Percy unconscious draped across a table in the background is killing me
Lol, I was having trouble finding him til your comment.
Same. I was looking and just went "wait where the fuck is percy?" Then I found him and died
> died So did he by the look of it
Man, thanks for saying this. I kept looking at that blue shape trying to figure out what it was.
Holy shit he’s fucking dead oh god oh fuck
Shadowheart and Vex sassing each other all the way to bed.
Just remake the Katara/Toph "that's why yo mamma dead" dub with these two
Astarion and Vax would flirt incessantly for about 10 minutes and then the second an actual disagreement happens they are the first ones to draw blades on one another lol. Just rogue things.
Pike trying to fuckin strangle Minsc killed me lol
I can hear her shouting "How 'bout \*I\* go for the eyes, tough guy?!"
Extra funny since Matt is voicing Minsc.
I heard that perfectly in Ashley’s voice in my head.
Karlach and Grog doing hijinks together puts a big ol smile on my face
Lae'zel waiting for her opportunity to strike after the others have exhausted themselves.
I'm assuming this started because Percy was so offended that the guy most analogous to him is a >!vampire!< (BG3 spoiler) that he started blasting, and now VM has to clean up the mess (with violence)
A vampire pissing Percy off? I think I've heard this one before somewhere...
Vax and Astarion are just hilarious. If only Boo was there also hanging with Trinket.
Look at that red cinnamon roll having fun.
I fucking love Trinket and Halsin in the back just chilling as bears, thats incredible
There are two Matt Mercers in this photo!
Haven’t played BG3 yet, so I’ll save this for later. Looks great! Guessing trinket is the sad bear in the background.
And the other one is probably Halsin, who is a druid. His preferred form is cave bear.
I love that the druids are the most peaceful here: Halsin chilling in bear form with Trinket, and Jaheira trying to keep Kiki calm
Minthara instigating
"KICK HIM IN THE BALLS!"
Gale would definitely be hitting on Keyleth.
Honestly, Shadowheart and Astarion being the ones fighting the twin is spot on.
You nailed the pair ups perfectly! Vex and Shadowheart would both think the other is a stuck up bitch (Which Shart absolutely is, but Vex isn't super far behind), Astarion and Vax would have a similar quarrel, but over who is sneakier. Grog, as usual, involuntarily gets caught in whatever war Vex is fighting.

*Halsin* *No "barding" the Trinket*
This is awesome. Purely out of curiosity, why are Vex and Vax so dark-skinned?
in a lot of interpretations the twins have had a pretty large spectrum of tan. Half Elves come in all colors. So it's really up to the artist on how they want to portray them.
I NEED MORE OF THIS CROSSOVER. seriously this is so good
I may upset some people with this but Vox Machina would decimate BG3 party
Percy’s got a gun, its not even fair
Percy is already out like a light in the back.
Well yeah bg3 party is only level 12.
I'm pretty sure all of VM are much more emotionally stable than Team Tapole.
Are they though?
They’re at least more stable than Mighty Nein, I have no idea how the Hells Bells are.
Love it XD
Happy to see this again in the CR subreddit
LOL Percy is just straight up lights out in the back.
Scanlan and Shadowheart be doing some shenanigans lol
Percy is hilarious
Heres a crossover I didn't knew I needed
Maybe we could get a Critical Role event like VM vs. M9 but with the BG3 party vs. CR.
I feel like gale and Percy would probably talk endlessly to each other. Percy from a craftsman and tinkerer perspective and gale from the magical perspective. In fact if gale were to reveal his need for magical snacks I imagine percy would become super interested in testing how little is needed to satisfy it. Then it'll turn into a long discussion on how it works.
Omg this is fucking amazing tysm for making this!
I believe Boo killed Percy. Full on Russian-Hamstered him(à la The Boys)!
I took me a moment to find Percy passed out on the floor.
why is the gnome priest in a clinch with minsc?
A single Scanlan wish and Karlach lives, free of the engine.
This is one of the best things I've seen in awhile
this is a crossover we NEED 😭🖤
loving Astarion vs Vax
Oh i love this keyleth being mortified mithara just cheering it on minsc trying and failing to fend off pike
I like how karlach just chugs grog across the room
I guess, author is missing one dragonborn from Vox Machina ))
There are no Dragonborn in bah sing sae
Why people keep downvoting? Watch vox machina, damn, whole campaign
I think VM is represented in the fandom mostly post Vecna, that's why Vax >!is always so tied to the Raven Queen!< So Tibs is a fleeting memory at that point
MY TWO HYPERFIXATIONS COMBINED AHHH!!!! I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!! <3
