I enjoy watching all these videos about the behind the scenes of Baldur's Gate 3.

I kind of want Larian to start making a bunch of promotional videos mimicking Valve's "Meet the..." series from Team Fortress 2, but for the origin characters.

I kind of never cared for the Overwatch hero videos, they were too serious. The TF2 videos were always absurd and hilarious. (Massively disappointed to this day that Adult Swim never picked up the TF2 show for a full series.)

While the game is very serious, there's a lot of funny stuff in it (and I don't just mean Karlach dancing at hilariously inappropriate times). I think Larian has the humorous abilities to pull this kind of thing off, and it will continue to highlight how important the characters and character development are to this game.

EDIT: Yes, this is also so we can get some modern, high-quality video of the absurd shit Minsc got up to before BG3. BG and BG2 callbacks, yeah!

You can always just ignore them and miss out on a huge part of what makes the game great.
