A player in Baldur’s Gate 3 has found secret instructions from Larian Studios that concern Astarion’s passion in his love life. MeinMMO reveals what it’s all about.
Baldur’s Gate 3 has taken the gaming world by storm and has taken fans on an epic adventure journey. But behind the scenes, there is much more to discover than you think – especially when it comes to Astarion’s fiery
romances.
An intimate scene in the vision of Baldur’s Gate even caused a ban:
Neil Newbon played Astarion in the love scenes probably too hot
What was discovered? A Reddit user who goes by the name Team_Purple recently discovered the secrets of Larian Studios’ prompts for their voice actors (data mining). It’s all about Astarion, the charming elf.
Apparently, the development team wanted to ensure that things in Astarion’s romantic scenes didn’t get too hot.
How did they do that? By confronting the voice actor Neil Newbon with the instruction to emphasize his words a little hot (ONLY A LITTLE, NEIL)
.
Here you can see the Reddit post from Team_Purple:
Anyone who has embarked on a romance with Astarion is likely to have noticed that he radiates more than just a hint of passion.
This note certainly brings a smile to the face. Obviously, Newbon had mastered the art of sensual speaking a bit too well, and Larian Studios had to humorously intervene to ensure things didn’t get out of control.
Astarion has undoubtedly become a fan favorite, and much of this is due to Neil Newbon’s outstanding performance. Newbon has brought Astarion to life with a mix of passion and humor, as also is made clear in his secret scene.
Overall, the combination of Astarion’s character depth and Neil Newbon’s talent has made romances with the charming elf an unforgettable part of the Baldur’s Gate 3 experience that continues to bring smiles to players.
