Karlach’s actor is just as obsessed with her as you are

Here is a 178-word summary of the news article: Samantha Béart, the actor who voiced and motion-captured the character Karlach in Baldur's Gate 3, is just as obsessed with the Tiefling warrior as fans are. Béart says they share Karlach's strong sense of justice and loyalty, though they aren't as quick to take "vigilante justice" as the character. Béart drew from personal experiences, like the loss of childhood friends, to bring Karlach's emotional storyline to life. While Béart is open to Karlach romancing any of the game's companions, they are currently romancing the Drow Minthara in their own playthrough. Béart identifies as non-binary but clarifies that Karlach is a cisgender woman, praising the game for featuring "gender non-conforming" female characters. The overwhelmingly positive fan response to Béart's performance was validating, as they had previously been typecast in the UK. Though Larian Studios has no plans for a Baldur's Gate 4, Béart is hopeful the franchise will return in the future.
