Never actually saw him before. Throw some makeup and a wig on him and he could totally play a live action Astarion

I’m not sure what the timeline is between BG3 and the Honour Among Thieves movie, but an undead elf would be pretty easy to include in a sequel as long as BG3 is first in the timeline.

The cool thing about D&D lore is that we're absolute fucking nerds. BG3 takes place in 1492 DR, and while Honor Among Thieves doesn't have a canonical date, it's estimated to take place in the late 1490's to early 1500's DR

Yeah I’ve long felt that The Forgotten Realms could be a cinematic universe to rival the MCU.

They just gotta make good movies. I thought Honour Among Thieves was good, but an adaptation of the Dark Elf trilogy would be even better.

Lol, city goes through the events of bg3, and its in the same decade that the events of the movie happen...

Peasants: why tf do we live in this city! It's safer out in the wilds!

Different cities. Honour Among Thieves took place in Neverwinter.

Still, crazy shit is going on in both cities all the time. BG3 is already a direct sequel to Descent to Avernus which starts in Baldur's Gate. The Tieflings are refugees from Elturel, a city near BG.

Didn't honor among thieves largely take place in waterdeep?

Neverwinter

Meanwhile, things have gotten so bad for Wyll that they're already looking for his 4th and 5th voice actors.

Wyll is such a shit character, but watching him slink away like a kicked puppy when you reject him is gold tier comedy.

Just create a character that ressembles him in Divinity Original Sin III
