has wowed everyone with its attention to detail and nuanced characters. The third installment in the beloved -based RPG series continues the adventure in Faerûn, this time tasking its heroes with stopping a mind flayer plot.
Astarion's voice actor is doing a let's play of Baldur's Gate 3
10.09.2023 - 04:19 / pcgamer.com / Amelia Tyler / Neil Newbon
Voice and motion capture actor Neil Newbon, known to fans of Baldur's Gate 3 as Astarion, is streaming a co-op let's play of Baldur's Gate 3 alongside friend and horror writer-director Tom de Ville. As they stream they laugh along to the game, and yeah, Newbon does The Astarion Voice a lot when he's in control of, you know, the character he played in the game.
The most interesting bit is that Newbon's definitely got some insight into how much of it was motion captured and acted—not just for his own role, either. Newbon also apparently did the motion capture for some other pieces of BG3, including the motions during the origin character creation sections. I plopped in some of those highlights as YouTube shorts below.
The other cool thing is that, in the third episode, Newbon and de Ville are joined by Amelia Tyler, the narrator voice for Baldur's Gate 3. It's a neat combination of commentary alongside gameplay with a very loose interview format of talking about game production and Tyler's experience on the production.
Tyler's no stranger to streaming herself, nor to making funny videos. We love her outtake clips from narrating BG3. Hearing her talk about the experience of making BG3 is pretty cool, as while many of the other cast members were able to meet each other while recording motion capture, Tyler's massive contribution to the game was practically unknown to much of the cast until release.
I will say that co-host de Ville has some problems with his microphone in the first installment. They're mostly gone in later ones! Worth sticking out for if you're a fan of Let's Plays.
You can find the first part of Newbon's playthrough on YouTube, though he's also streaming it on Twitch. The part featuring Amelia Tyler is Part 3 on Youtube.

Baldur's Gate 3 voice actors playing D&D as their characters is as fun to watch as you'd hope
The voice actors behind Baldur's Gate 3's origin characters—Astarion, Gale, Karlach, Shadowheart, Wyll, and Lae'zel—gathered for a two-episode D&D game that was livestreamed this past weekend. An hour into the first 160-minute episode, I can confidently recommend it to fans of our favorite new RPG. I don't know if I'll make get to the end of the whole session anytime soon, but it's a charming bit of fan service. Replays are available on YouTube, Twitch, and as podcasts.

Baldur's Gate 3's latest patch has introduced a 'very frustrating, borderline unplayable' glitch that makes companions dump their inventories on you
Baldur's Gate 3 is excellent. Historically excellent, in fact, but it's not without its flaws. The first of these, of course, is that Astarion was not voiced with Neil Newbon's original Brummie accent, but the game's awkward inventory system is a close-run second. I don't know about you, but I probably spent at least a couple of hours of playtime standing stock-still in camp, desperately trying to give my chaotic inventory and those of my allies some semblance of organisation. It never worked.
