Neil Newbon, the iconic voice behind Astarion, arguably one of the most popular 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Baldur's Gate 3 companions, says he'd love to return as th𒈔e vam𝓰pire elf in a potential sequel.
Speaking in a recent interview with during BAFTA's Games Awards, the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Baldur's Gate 3 actor jokes that he'd "have to be dead" before allowing another voice to take over as Astarion in future games. While Newbon jests while saying so, he would seriously like to take on the role of the white-haired companion once again, if possible – and as Hasbro is 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:"talking to lots of partners" about the next Baldur's Gate, it could happen.
"Listen, I have no control over that," explains N💖ewbon, "so, ultimately, if somebody played him in something else, I'd just hope that they'd come at it the same way I did, in terms of looking at the core character and their life story and their history and their backstory, and honor that story as much as possible, and not run to a trope." He can't foretell the future, though. "I don't know what's going to happen. I hope I get to play him again."
He's not the only one who'd be willing to act as one of the companions again in a new game, either. Shadowheart actor Jennifer English also previously admitted to having similar thoughts, saying 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:she's "open" to returning for another RPG. As a dedicated Baldur's Gate stan myself, I'd personally love to see some of the original cast make a comeback in Baldur's Gate 4 or whate𒅌ver's next to release in the fantastical Dungeons & Dragons-inspired universe.
Anything is possible as of now, especially as Hasbro's cooking up the hotly anticipated sequel while working on another shiny 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new D&D game that stands separately from the series, too. Neither will come from Baldur's Gate 3 developer Larian Studios, however, as the company is focusing on its own original titles right now –澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:"two very ambitious RPGs" with one project 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:codenamed Excalibur, as revealed by the studio last year.
The Baldur's Gate 3-arization of Dungeons & Dragons continues as Astarion gets 2 official mentions in the new source books
After spending years with her head in various fantastical realms' clouds, Anna studied English Li🧔terature and then Medieval History at the University of Edinburgh, going on to specialize in narrative design and video game journalism as a writer. She has written for various publications since her postgraduate studies, including Dexerto, Fanbyte, GameSpot, IGN, PCGamesN, and more. When she's not frantically trying to form words into coherent sentences, she's probably daydreaming about becoming a fairy druid and befriending every animal or she's spending a thousand (more) hours traversing the Underdark in Baldur's Gate 3. If you spot her away from her PC, you'll always find Anna with a fantasy book, a handheld video game console of some sort, and a Tamagotchi or two on hand.
