Why hello everybody. Now that Baldur's Gate 3 has been out for quite some time I thought I'd see if anybody knows of any characters we can add to the list.

So, do you know of any characters appearing in BG3 (or other games) that exist in other Forgotten Realms material (campaign settings, magazines, novels etc.)?

I think the issue is that so little source material has come out recently for FR since BG3 was released. There is a FR Sourcebook update coming out, that's probably the best chance we'll get to see if any of the BG3 NPCs/people become canon

What about characters making cameos? I can think of at least 3. Elminster, Volo and Vlaakith CLVII. Can you think of any others? I am playing through with my brother and we missed significant parts of the game so far. There must be others we have missed.

Note: Drizzt Do'Urden also appears in Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 1 & 2. Artemis Entreri is also in Dark Alliance 2.

I seem to recall Szass Tam being “alluded” to in Planescape Torment … or it may have been in the novelisation. Might need to double check that.
