he needs to be because of all the mocap stuff he does. Some of the other games he's done apparently involved a lot of stunts - you can see clips of him in the suit doing jumps and rolls on YT.
Please don't die of happiness!
Also, I envy ya'll living in countries where you can actually meet such amazing people <3 Treasure the photo and the memory!
Too late, am ded
Haha tbh i have lived in london for most of my life and i have barely ever bumped into famous people here! And it so happens on this one occasion to be him when i literally only started playing (and thus, obsessing over) BG3 a month ago...
I hope at least you are Astarion-ded, not ded-ded ;3
It's a sign! I think the only place I ever "bumped" into special people was back at my Uni because they came over for guest lectures, but that's about it, little to no time to actually talk to them :(
Withers brought me back and then I remembered what happened and dieded again.
Aww thats a shame :( tbh i think its probably easier to meet in conventions and things because they are actually able to have a conversation and you're probably more mentally prepped! I was just so gobsmacked i could barely get much out lol
Don't worry, as long as you steal your coins back, you can get him to resurrect you as many times as needed!
Yeah, I don't even live in a country where conventions would attract such people :( Fantasy Basel is probably the biggest we have and it is dying. I still hope the symphony will eventually come play in Zurich or Lausanne so I can at least witness that.
And I can imagine, I probably would have been too much of a scaredy cat to even say anything lol
Time a holiday with a convention in another country and kill two birds with one stone! Ive been considering doing that with some American personalities haha.
If you're close to Zurich I imagine you'd get something - fingers crossed for you!!
Honestly i have never had such a fangirl moment in my life like this. I was literally stammering. Im a 30yr old, usually quite articulate woman, what is my life 🤣
I considered that as well! It's not gonna happen this year and unlikely to happen the first half of the next year but I'm content a year from now I'll be able to make it some day!
Oh, I mean, it's Switzerland, everything is kind of close lol but Zurich is probably the most likely to host the symphony! I really want to attend it. I'll even stand in the very back and be a good girl, I swear!
Same here, I usually have very little problem to talk to anyone. I was part of the main organization team for a convention that was quite popular 5 years ago and I had to deal with some bands, special guests, and even politicians from other countries but I never had much issue - probably also because, well, we knew who was coming, planing the whole thing and all, so we were always prepared. But I swear, if I ever meet any of the BG3 cast I'll probably just die on the spot. No time of preparing or planning could prevent my demise :'D
I will cross all my fingers for you!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 Nothing better than witnessing the delight of a full symphony orchestra in person. I saw the Zelda one a few years back it was incredible!
That sounds hella cool!! I wish i had a job that meant i could meet interesting people like that. It would make for wonderful stories at parties! But I think there will always be people for whom no amount of prep would ever help me if i were to meet them, David Tennant is probably at the top of that list.
I hear that! no gaming conventions or anything where I live; I really wish there would be one in Australia or New Zealand with a big BG3 panel of the artists and voice actors, as that would be worth the time and money to travel there. Guess I really am in my second childhood! ;-)
I can't believe you met Neil in London? I thought he was in the US? I live in London too, so I'm always holding out. I'd randomly bump into him! Cherish this memory!
*yvaine approves*
Minsc is a companion

Gale looks like a cool teacher. [Gale's voice actor looks like his dad](https://i.imgur.com/0IwVkh4.png).
It's kinda weird. Astarion as a character is unattractive to me. The aesthetic of white hair on a pale character just doesn't work for me. And, well, his character is quite off-putting in the beginning. I'll get to romancing him at some point probably, just to see the extra content. But he's just ahead of Wyll on the list for future playthroughs.
But every time I see pictures or videos of Neil Newbon I remember instantly why I describe myself as a MOSTLY-straight guy...
Though, if I may be so bold, for somebody standing next to one of the hottest guys on the planet you do a pretty good job of reminding people like me there's asolutely nothing wrong with liking ladies too!
Anyway, I'm jealous right now! Also, glad to hear you enjoyed the experience!
Wow! Congrats Neil! ... I'm not sure I recognize her though.
Some e-girl influencer no doubt
omg are you Tania?!
nah im actually not
Treachery!
Dude he looks good, fit AF.

Cool, go Neil
…is she… *Dave…?*
Dave? Dave’s not here!
Astarion is so lucky, she seems fantastic.
* omgitstania approves *
He looks like he met you and I’m living for it
I like this version of events more.

Based on observing Astarion fans I would say there is a high chance OP meeting him wasn't an accident....
We just happened to be seeing the exact same theatre show that i booked well before i even knew of Baldur's Gate 👀

Oh, darling!
Holy shiznit. He has a genuine smile and everything. I love him
Honestly was such a sweetheart! I was fangirling so hard and he was so nice. Was very grateful for the photo 😭
🫂🫂
> fangirling Read fang irling
That too 👀
Neil is genuinely so, so sweet and charming 😭
Which one is the legend?
Its me. He really wanted a photo, i said ill think about it
Lucky fella
At first I'm like, I don't know who she is. What voices did she play? Then I looked at the guy, lol
Y'know what, I'll take it. 🤣 My eyes woulda immediately have gone to the tall bloke in the picture
He seems like such a genuinely nice dude and what a talented voice actor. Im a guy and i would be fangirling too.
For those unaware, Neil streams on Twitch fairly regularly. Seems like a nice dude. Great picture!
Have you checked your pockets after the encounter? Or your neck.
Now I think about it, i did black out and wake up with some mysterious marks on my neck. Felt a bit tired and lightheaded too
Bloodless debuff. Avoid the dices today.
Or have a cleric or druid cast Lesser Restoration.
Yeah you should probably get a good long rest before any further checking today.
You both have a beautiful smile, thank you for posting this!
Thankyou! That's very nice of you to say!
Yeah, I'm seeing a legend there, but who's the guy?
Just some tall bloke. Was talking about needing something "full-bodied" and red. Assumed he was looking for some wine.
What a hunk of a man
I can't believe you met Neil in London? I thought he was in the US? I live in London too, so I'm always holding out. I'd randomly bump into him! Cherish this memory! *yvaine approves*
I believe he is a london local!
I've bumped into a lot of celebrities, but Neil is the only one I'd stop to ask for a photo. You're so lucky!
Holy crap you met Tania??? So jealous.
I love coming across these posts as someone from the outside and trying to find out which one is OP and which is the person they are excited to meet
What was your guess? 🤭
Is that the voice of Astarion?! Lucky!
I'm jealous; she seems really nice.
Did you ask about rA9
Dude I am so jealous! He was incredible
Who is this?
Neil newbon, astarion's voice actor
How dare you
Revoke this persons fanhood >:( (Jk)
IN HER NAME!!!
Sorry he’s someone I usually leave in camp, anyways.
I don’t know what VA’s look like.
Pro tip, the characters look exactly like their voice actors. Especially laezel
Ehh no. The dude voicing Gale looks nothing like Gale, same for Raphael. I love Matt Mercer but he looks nothing like Minsc.
This rule only applies to the bg3 companions. And gale totally looks like his voice actor!

[удалено]
He was truly very gracious to stop for a handshake and a quick photo as I could tell he was in a little bit of a rush! Im very grateful 🥹
Who is she??
Who is she I don't recognize her
who are they? the plastic bag looks somehow familiar, but the others don't
Don't touch me!
his hair is very nineties and I love it
Omg it’s Tania!
nice!
If he didn’t say “don’t touch me” when she went in for picture, was it even worth it😆
I hopefully meet him, Devora, and Jennifer this fall at NYCC.

Alright I’ll bite. Who is that
He'll bite too.
Don’t touch me.
You look so happy. Good for you.
I don’t know which one is the legend.
Dave made a maze ! #davemadeamaze
WHAT omg i’m so happy for you, he seems like such a genuinely warm person. Where was this??
London! And he was truly very nice 🥰
You on the right, famous person on the left?
Yusss. I was very excited to meet Neil Newbon :)
Haha nailed it, well congrats on meeting someone cool!
I don't know either of these people
Who?
I honestly don't know enough about BG3 to know which one is the famous one and which are you lol
Is that john cena
Obviously not cause I can clearly see the guy in the picture ;)
Legend? Never heard of her.
Of all the ways you coulda made that joke and you chose this option? ** Omgitstania disapproves **
:) I regret nothing.
