Well they literally made Viconia LOOK old in the game, so doubt that was it, either.Larian thought she was too old for the role.

Some of you fuckers are just larian simps.
An epilogue would only be canon if that person was in your party when the game ended. As far as Larian was concerned, she wasn't. Got her eyes clawed out by Boo and left in shame.Viconia outright got redeemed whatever the ending you get, and Sarevok got a bittersweet ending where he tried to reflect about his loss and the price of his ambition.
It's not headcanon when it's mentioned in a canon work. A person being high level doesn't make them invulnerable, Boo got a critical success.You're absolutely right, we better stick to your headcanon of a level 26 cleric being defeated by a giant miniature hamster during an epic showdown that make the one with iranicus pale in comparaison.
But they base her on the epilogue. Kind of.An epilogue would only be canon if that person was in your party when the game ended.Viconia outright got redeemed whatever the ending you get, and Sarevok got a bittersweet ending where he tried to reflect about his loss and the price of his ambition.
I dont think devs played the previous games to care enough bro.
Drow are evil. She in particular was evil. They also didn't have to respect a "Viconia is redeemed" playthrough. In their canon, she wasn't.
I thought WoketC were against race vilification because of stereotypes or some shit? Yeah devs probably just didnt give a shit.
I'm much more interested in why they couldn't get Grey DeLisle - who, unlike Jaheira's VO who apparently vanished off the face of the Earth - is very much active still. In fact, could someone with a good Twitter presence ask if she was even approached?
I feel like Grey could've done a lot to improve V's re-appearance but unfortunately we got this instead
There's a dash in her name. I think it was actually Shart-eel.Was Sharteel truly evil? I can't remember much of her outside of her being the daughter of some higherup.
Grey Delisle is in high demand and a higher tier VA. Schedule and budget might've been issues here. Her and a lot of the other VAs in games like Bloodlines were kinda beginners back then, so their rates might have only gone up and up.
A lot of the other VAs have already worked with Larian too so there's a track record. Minthara's VA worked in the DOS games for instance.
Jim Cummings, while active still, is probably too old. Minsc looks 30, 35 tops, Cummings is twice that age. I heard him doing a Winnie The Pooh voice recently and he couldn't hide the raspy old man voice.

Incidentally BG3 does in fact acknowledge a banter from Throne of Bhaal:
Viconia: Minsc, I am finding myself unable to deny your effectiveness in battle.
Minsc: Eh... Boo, was that a compliment?
Viconia: Oh, it was, and your response is the reason for my query. Just how old is Boo?
Minsc: Boo? He is young by the standards of his miniature giant cohorts.
Viconia: So he has exceeded the normal lifespan of a normal rodent of his type?
Minsc: I believe he takes offense to the term "rodent."
Viconia: Perhaps he bears examining. Some form of exploratory dissection. It was an art in my homeland.
Minsc: You know, try as he might, Boo just doesn't get your kind of humor.
She wasn't joking. She tried to dissect Boo, had her eyes clawed out, and then ran away, this is canon.
"B-but my epilogue"
Like I said earlier, just because something *can* happen in your play-through doesn't mean it *did*.
I found killing Viconia to be one of the more satisfying moments of the game. Hilarious and rare masterstroke of genius from Larian trolling the simps so hard.
But this is the new ViconiaYeah replacing that hawt ebony fuckdoll with bear anus was a masterstroke, and clearly the peak modern audience.
Viconia is a good girl, she didn't do nuffin' *steps over farmer corpse* nuffin I tells yaSome of you fuckers are just simps.
She was abused by her dad (Angelo), hence her hatred for men. She wasn't one of the alphabet people, relax.According to myself, she's a feminist, so also yes without a doubt.
