Regardless, for Newbon, playing Astarion has been a personal highlight. I hope other people also make their own projects and have the luck to have that amount of people and money to make an incredible experience." It's an opinion echoed by Larian's founder Swen Vincke, who spoke to PC Gamer earlier this week on the subject. "If you have a triple-A studio with that amount of people and money, shouldn't it be normal? … I hope it's repeatable. "I think it should be normal, shouldn't it?" says Newbon. It's a game with unprecedented scope, and there's been plenty of debate over whether its size and quality is an anomaly, due to Larian's unique position, budget, and attitude towards development. We also chatted about Baldur's Gate 3 itself, which has been something of a time vampire for me over the past couple of weeks-Fraser Brown's working assessment of " Oh boy, it's good" is apt. "I've been a massive PC Gamer fan and reader since literally '98 … what you folks did with the front cover is absolutely extraordinary," says Newbon at the top of the interview. It's more than just work for Newbon though-he's a huge fan of games himself, and even us too. PC Gamer, Baldur's Gate 3, and the industryWhile Newbon's known as the voice of everyone's favourite flamboyant vampire spawn, he also played Karl Heisenberg in Resident Evil: Village, and he's brought his vocal talents to games such as Star Wars: The Old Republic and Detroit: Become Human. That's a minor footnote, though-what mainly stood out to me was his boundless appreciation for gaming, the tabletop hobby, and the people who helped him get here-here's a few choice moments from our talk on all things vampire. And while he has a deep affection of those creatures of the night, he also holds a preference that took me off-guard. We chatted about Astarion's appearance on the front of PC Gamer, his long-standing love of tabletop, and vampires. Neil Newbon, the voice behind my favourite trash-fire vampire from Baldur's Gate 3-a character I've gone to great lengths to defend in the past-sat down with me last week to talk about his experience playing Astarion. Clouds will apply the same effect as their respective surfaces.The voice of Baldur's Gate 3's Astarion talks TTRPGs, storytelling, and the glamourous 'fury and the wrath' of playing vampires Neil Newbon has plenty of well-wishes for the community, as Astarion takes his post-launch bow on the digital stage.Blessed Smoke applies Invisibility for 1 turn and removes Silence.Blessed Poison Surfaces apply Regeneration for 1 turn.Divinity- Original Sin 2 - Sourcery- Bless.Blessed Fire Surfaces apply Holy Fire for 1 turn, grants 150% Fire Resistance and Immunity to Frozen, Burning, Chilled, Warm and Wet.
