Neil Newbon’s unscripted genius created the very best Baldur’s Gate 3 moment
Neil Newbon, who voiced Astarion in Baldur’s Gate 3, created one of BG3‘s most powerful story moments by following his heart and crying—unscripted—after Astarion finally defeated his abuser Cazador Szarr, the being who turned him into a vampire spawn.
There are countless moments in Baldur’s Gate 3 where Newbon truly embraces Astarion’s emotions, and the scene where he finally gets vengeance for the centuries of abuse he’s endured is one players believe is “peak.” And, even more incredibly, as BG3‘s voice director Thomas Mitchells told fans today, the raw cries you hear during this scene were completely unscripted; Newbon simply felt this was truly how the pivotal moment would go.
