I love how much vampire lore Astarion just casually drops in his rants. Like how he hasn't seen the sun in a long time, how mirrors are not exactly helpful, or how he can just visit someone uninvited. It's hilarious. 🤣
It's hard for me to get lost in BG3 with Astarion on board, because I have a gay step-brother, flaming as a forest fire, and he sounds EXACTLY like Astarion. Every time he speaks, I think of him, haha.
@@Wolfrandog Ha, no. He's married. And I'm telling you, he looks like a model. I worked with him for awhile at a restaurant, and one time I walked in on him and some girl in the side station, and she was talking at him, literally on the verge of tears, saying stuff like, "Why? I mean, do you really not like women at all?" She was just out and out about the fact that she had major hots for him. He just kept getting his drinks together, and never said a word. I don't think she understood how very, very gay he was. If I had to guess, I think the sight of a vagina would make him puke.
4:48 Wait, what? The player avatar character _speaks_ in a cut scene??? I mean, sometimes I've heard short in-game reactions from my character, some short muttered comment... after all, we did chose a voice for our character. but in a cut scene??
BG3 is an awesome game with the best creative character system I've seen yet. I knew it would win the awards this year & neil did an excellent job on his character. Love his humor.
In The Shadows by The Rasmus is an absolutely perfect fit for Astarion, it's mindblowing. It's like he wrote it himself. No sleep No sleep until I'm done with finding the answer Won't stop Won't stop before I find a cure for this cancer Sometimes I feel like going down I'm so disconnected Somehow I know that I am haunted to be wanted I've been watching, I've been waiting In the shadows for my time I've been searching, I've been living For tomorrow's all my life In the shadows In the shadows They say that I must learn to kill before I can feel safe But I, I'd rather kill myself than turn into their slave Sometimes I feel that I should go and play with the thunder Somehow I just don't want to stay and wait for a wonder I've been watching, I've been waiting In the shadows for my time I've been searching, I've been living For tomorrow all my life Lately, I've been walking, walking in circles Watching, waiting for something Feel me, touch me, heal me Come take me higher I've been watching, I've been waiting In the shadows for my time I've been searching, I've been living For tomorrow all my life I've been watching, I've been waiting I've been searching, I've been living For tomorrow In the shadows In the shadows I've been waiting
OMG HE LOWKEY LOOKS LIKE HIM IN MY EYES AND SOUNDS LIKE HIM HOLY NO WONDER- I can’t unsee it now lmao (I used to have a crush on Prince Charming as a kid so it all makes sense now)
I don’t think so. I just found a 6hr video of all of Astarions voice lines, and many of them are the dialogue lines from the narrator. I think the origin characters VA’s will take over the narrators position if you don’t play an OC. Just a guess!
I definitely feel like you do, so much so that I'm thinking about restarting as another custom character. I was hoping there would be more background stuff about him but so far there was only one cutscene.
@@kloy.m341I’m sorry, I can’t remember the name of the video. It was a pretty basic thumbnail and it’s called “Astarion Voice Lines/All” or something like that. You’ll know it when you see it, it’s the only vid I’ve seen of that length

His name isn't Neil Newbon, is it? 😂
Perhaps ur stepbrother is single 😂

Some businesses pay for impersonators. He could do that.
@@awsmmediaguyyea. Neil is an actor & motion capture actor as well. He owns his own business for it, even teaches it.
I’ll keep watch tonight he says
We won’t have to worry about nocturnal visitors he says
*tries to bite me that very night*
Wtf Astarion
He gives Tom Ellis Lucifer Vibes
I got those same vibes too!
Finally someone has said that!
Omg I’ve been thinking this the entire time I’ve watched this video, glad someone else feels it too haha
I was saying it the whole time
Now that you pointed it out, yeah I can see it :0

That was Early Access only afaik, unfortunately (character does these kind of comments not in such direct cutscenes anymore I think)

When he smashed her guitar I cackled
I love this man
10:40 ma dude... you ARE the nocturnal visitor

Tagging for...reasons

No sleep
No sleep until I'm done with finding the answer
Won't stop
Won't stop before I find a cure for this cancer
Sometimes I feel like going down I'm so disconnected
Somehow I know that I am haunted to be wanted
I've been watching, I've been waiting
In the shadows for my time
I've been searching, I've been living
For tomorrow's all my life
In the shadows
In the shadows
They say that I must learn to kill before I can feel safe
But I, I'd rather kill myself than turn into their slave
Sometimes I feel that I should go and play with the thunder
Somehow I just don't want to stay and wait for a wonder
I've been watching, I've been waiting
In the shadows for my time
I've been searching, I've been living
For tomorrow all my life
Lately, I've been walking, walking in circles
Watching, waiting for something
Feel me, touch me, heal me
Come take me higher
I've been watching, I've been waiting
In the shadows for my time
I've been searching, I've been living
For tomorrow all my life
I've been watching, I've been waiting
I've been searching, I've been living
For tomorrow
In the shadows
In the shadows
I've been waiting
Is it weird to be in love with a game character? 😂
Lol, with so many people who are, nah, it's normal
He reminds me of Prince Charming from Shrek 2. I rest my case. 😂 either way I love this man aaah.

If you choose to play characters as your Origin, do you miss out on a lot of voiceover?
I don’t think so. I just found a 6hr video of all of Astarions voice lines, and many of them are the dialogue lines from the narrator. I think the origin characters VA’s will take over the narrators position if you don’t play an OC. Just a guess!
@@mlj3347 I’ll look for that and see what it looks like, thanks for the reply!
I definitely feel like you do, so much so that I'm thinking about restarting as another custom character. I was hoping there would be more background stuff about him but so far there was only one cutscene.
@@besthobbit Thanks, appreciate coming back to this! I’ll probably stick to a custom character in that case

This dude sounds like wheatley from portal ngl
My love ❤❤❤
Astarion the Crypt-Elf, can't be more boring than Drow...
