Neil Newbon, the voice actor behind Baldur's Gate 3's Astarion, revealed that the character's heartbreaking wail after defeating his vampiric abuser was an unscripted, impulsive reaction. Newbon explained that he felt the scene needed to flow naturally to capture Astarion's emotional journey.
Neil Newbon , the actor behind Baldur’s Gate 3’s iconic Astarion , has gifted gamers with one of the best performances in all of gaming. While some modders have attempted—and failed—to make the character hotter since release, no one can deny that Newbon’s performance is nothing short of perfection. Last year, it was revealed that Astarion ’s biggest moment in the game—his confrontation with his vampiric abuser Cazador Szarr —was boosted by an incredible piece of improvisation from the actor.
“So, it was an impulse that came out of the experience I was having as Astarion, for helping his story along, and it was just an impulsive reaction to the experience that I’d created with Thomas,” Newbon explained. “Well, I asked Tom to let me do the whole scene complete. I knew it was such a big powerful moment that doing it line by line, which is often how we do these things, doing three takes in a row of a line and moving on, it wasn’t going to work.
