Andrew Wincott's BAFTA award-winning performance as Raphael, one of the best villains in "Baldur's Gate 3," was one of the RPG's many highlights. He also famously sang his own boss theme at the end of the "House of Hope" dungeon, which led to one of the game's most memorable musical numbers. However, it turns out that this performance also gave him the wrong impression about the nature of the game.

Adam Smith, the writing director who spoke with Larian about the creation of "House of Hope," shared an anecdote about the first time he met Wincott in person. Smith showed him a YouTube video of his musical number, which at the time already had a million views. He said, 'My God, how can another actor's song be so popular? He wasn't kidding, he really thought it was a musical. He's brilliant."

It was also Wincott's first time singing in the business. His casting agency told Larian that he could sing, when in fact he told the agency that he probably couldn't. It was clear that it worked out in the end, and Raphael's final act quickly became a fan favorite. In this number, Wincott shares a song with Marija Anastasova. She performed several BG3 songs, including the hauntingly beautiful "Down by the River."

It turns out that both Hope House and Rafael went through many changes during their development. At one point, Raphael was known as a monitor, constantly monitoring the party. Players would also have been able to control the house and traverse the Nine Hells.

While Larian's musical adaptation of BG3 would have been welcome, the studio said goodbye to the Forgotton Realm. Instead, they are preparing two new RPGs that will probably be massive. Those are still a ways off, though, but in the meantime, you can read our interview with Smith and CEO Sven Vinke about Larian's past, present, and future
