The moment Neil slips into character is always a amazing change in energy
Slips? He IS Astarion. I'd like to think he slips into Neil.
@@chadbrochill19I’d like to slip into Neil
This is why I agree 100% with The Game Awards on his award. Multiple actors were stellar in their performances in BG3, like Shadowheart's and Lae'Zel's, etc etc, but Astarion was always so unpredictable all the way, even though personally maybe not my favourite. It's astonishing this game has such overwhelmingly good performances, I can see the characters as though I've lived with them IRL :)
Kiss AND kill Lae'zel? I could not have predicted such a perfect answer
Considering Shadowheart's dual nature... It makes sense.
Considering actress is lesbian…
@@johnpsmith8132 Shadowheart also has such tendencies, but she is still bisexual.
That's like a depending on the story choices answer lol
@@slumsnake1303 I think the character is supposed to be playersexual, though it was Jennifer's initiative to give her that line about Karlach in-game.
'Kiss Karlach', Astarion my dear, YES
Immediate response too, which is extremely, as the youthes like to say, 'based.'
I love how Neil immediately jumps back into astarion's role 😂
"AS Astoriᵒⁿ"
Astarion: I don't trust Wyll. He's too honest...
Neil's spontaneous giggle-laugh always gives me life 😁
Astarion: No! I won’t kill them…well maybe Wyll
It's starting to make sense why every character is a bisexual disaster.
Even the mind flayers lmao
I thought gale was just being nice showing me the weave
It be funny if it didn't ruin the experience.
@@grizzlyadamblack I think they do it for “free choice” for the players - so the players can romance anyone they want.
But at the same time, it’s makes the characters feel a bit disingenuous and unbelievable.
Pansexual. They date any gender identity
This is on point because Astarion flirts his silly little heart out with Shadowheart when you have them both in your party, while she teases him back, sometimes quite unkindly.😆😆
He deserves that nasty little bloodsucker
And both my playthroughs in the scene where Astarion asks whose blood you would try, he says he's curious about Shadowheart's or Gale's. xD
I heard him say something like she has such a grim name for a flower like her and Shadowheart responded that she heard him practicing those lines and it needs work lmao
I love that line, ''I like Wyll... (but...)"
That is SO Astarion.
There it is, the Astarion giggle :D
00:00:25
Like how TF2 is a war-themed hat simulator, Baldur’s Gate 3 is an RPG themed Dating Simulator
Astarion and Shadowheart are the end of me. I am torn between the two 😭😭😭
Same 😭
Same 😭
Play as one, romance the other. Problem solved !
Indeed my boy. But shadowheart. Jesus. I love her.
i think you can have a situationship with both AND halsin
Neil said once that he's picked up Astarion's high-pitched giggle and... yeah.. he really has
Jennifer with the Bingbong necklace. Priceless.
Oh my goddddd I love her so much
Karlach's voice actor laughing in the background ahaha!
Neil's answer has the same enregy as the post "my hatred of geologists is purely theatrical..."
I love how excited and happy Neil looks every time he is allowed to get into character 😂❤️
Wait no way they made Neil something with sleeves!
Lol I was beginning to wonder if he owned anything with sleeves!
Omg... he is wearing sleeves!
Well he seems to have tried rolling them up at the start...unsuccessfully
What a loss😂
One of his sleeves was just rolled up on one side.
BG3 is a dating sim disguised as an RPG.
Just like D&D.
@@cryofpaine Oh damn, people who (unironically) think like this oftentimes ruin D&D for others.
@@Eddison33 honestly, it's kind of a problem in BG3 too. "You were nice to me therefore we are now dating." Like Wyll, I barely said anything to him, all of a sudden he wants to dance. And good grief, Lae'zel. I haven't taken her on a single mission yet, barely said two words to her, and the first time I have a real conversation with her, it's a graphic description of what she wants to do with me.
@@cryofpaine It's a true problem indeed. Larians claim to fix it or trying to fix it. The threshold for starting a romance with a companion was too low. But I think the entire approach is flawed - gaining much reputation by itself should not be a trigger for any companion to start hitting on you.
@@cryofpaine Actually, Lae'zel just want to bang you, not romance you. Which reflect a quite realistic fact about how human relationship works sometimes. So I see no problem with that. People can love at first sight, can sleep at first sight... this game proves to be quite openminded and it's not for my displeasure.
watching this is headphones is a sensory nightmare
I had no doubt about their choices. And I completely agree with Shadowheart 😌
Kill Lae'zel because she's the only one that would respect you for being able to do it.
thanks for validating my choice of romancing Shadowheart for my Astarion origin playthrough king!
Lol I'm doing the opposite. Playing as Shadowheart romancing Astarion 😅
@@Tranitosaursame!
Jennifer disapproves
Marry Lae'zel and adopt Bing Bong! :D
I have just realized that the answers are not mutually exclusive.
The way I immediately said "oh, Wyll's dying--"
I never would have guessed 1/2 of these answers lol
You both are so talented, I could listen to you explain Algebra and still be entertained. Amazing voice actors.
These are so spot on. Kiss / Kill Lae'Zel is perfect.
The auto Astarion giggle lol 0:23
How much fun can you pack in 1:37 minutes? Yes!
my left ear enjoyed this
Lovely people! But please sort the audio out.
Agreed on both accounts. Some people don't have tact but at least you do.
Karlach is really the best ❤
@00:25 liked the video just for that signature Astarion giggle. I swear it's the single thing that gets me hotter than the sun. His lines, looks and everything else is fine - others can have it. But his giggle just sends me
Neil with only one of his sleeves rolled up is sending me 😂😂😂
the fact astarion would kill wyll, it's cannon in game too😭😭
He's kind of the counterpart in a lot of ways in terms of their archetypes and the roles they are serving in the story.
wdym
Well, he wants to drink Wyll's blood in the game, so...
If he reads the necronomicon he says he might kill Gale or Shadowheart.
@@zack_0psgaming150Wyll's also one of the possible names that comes up. It may have something to do with whoever has the highest Approval compared to his, iirc? Or maybe it's due to another factor.
Shadowheart and Lae'Zel would actually be the best romantic story. But the best romantic story right now feasible? Me and Mama K ❤
That’s what I’m planning to do for my second run. I’ve romanced Shadowheart as my custom Dragonborn for my first run then after Shadowheart origin run I’m gonna do a Wyll origin romancing Karlach for the third. Really excited to see how that all plays out.
@@pearsemolloy9656Enemies to lovers lover I see
Maybe I'm weird but I can't see it beyond an angry fling
@@brona497Honestly you're not alone. I see their relationship developing more along the lines of them going from daggers at each other's throats to daggers at the throats of their enemies
The fanart of those two is SO good!
Well... Shadowheart herself isn't going to bang Lae'Zel, but Jen's character is lol
Kiss Wyll
Marry Minthara
kill Myself
Why is nobody talking about the Bingbong necklace? I'm freaking out!
0:24 I love that.
both of them know their characters so well
With Someone powerfull my first guess was Minthara. Noble born drow with unquestionable authority, you can either take over House Baenre or rule Baldur's Gate and take over the house with it's military.
But I suppose it was a question about origin characters only
I had the same thought 🙏
Well its specifically for "romancable" characters. I think Minthara would remind him too much of Cszador
Neil's neverending promotion of BG3 as a masterpiece is always awesome.
Jesus those guys and gals really nailed it in the game. Kudos.
PS: Asterio is a jerk and powerhouse at the same time in game.
Astarion?
Favorite game of all time. Dont care what anyone says.
Hogwarts Legacy? Red Dead 2? Skyrim? hello..
obsessed with Jennier's answer. she gets it.
Shadowheart and Laezel being girlfrienemies fr fr ☺☺☺
Neil so sweet 😁
Even Astarion likes Karlach. :D
I would play ask Shag, marry, sibling.
So would Shadowheart kill Lae'zel first and then kiss? Or first kissa nd then kill?!
siri play kiss of death english cover
The panning of the audio is bugging me so much i can't watch it till the end.
Really, you can't bear to watch a 1min 38 sec clip to the end due to panning audio? You just commented to be a dick, that's really what this is about.
damn youre weak
yes really. It's insanly annoying to hear that breathing in your ears. Don't be a dick to others voicing their critics@@Einomar
@@Einomar yeah, before you call me a dick and make assumptions about what i can bear or can't maybe think about it. I work in audio engineering and this is exacly why you need people like us for. When it is MY JOB to fix these stuff it REALLY stands out and actually makes it unbearable to watch. Also not to mention these are voice actors, absurtly panned audio is nothing usual and people will sub consiously think something is wrong with what they see and hear, thus actually making negative impressions on those voice actors. They are really good at their job but whoever panned the audio like this needs to go back to school or smth cuz this is just dumb. And you are just being a karen... Stupid.
@MrMcHammergeil That was not criticism, criticism is constructive. That was just being a dick, just like you are being now.
Jennifer English is definetly an English.
Shadowheart and Astarion are BFFs and no one can tell me otherwise. They're 1000% the mean cool kids picking on the others
My most recent Tav would be the same as Astarion pahaha
Kiss Karlach, marry Gale, kill Wyll
Kiss: Shadowheart, Astarion, Halsin.
Marry: Karlach, Gale, Minsc.
Kill: Minthara.
No response: Lae’zel, Wyll, Jaheira.
They are amaizing
marry karlach!, AGREED
The audio on this with headphones on is atrocious.
thanks for validating shadowheart/karlach shippers everywhere
My girl Karlach is everyones choice! 😂
Marry Minthara, murder the rest
Kiss Wyll
Marry Wyll
Kill Lae’zel (she said my nose was big)
KIll Wyll and then resurrect to kill him again
it is canon that asterion is racist now
It‘s called Kill/Bang/Marry.
I killed Astarion almost immediately.
I ain’t gonna put up with no vampires 🤠
You’re missing out lol
@@vincentgeiszler3749 He's apparently the least recruited companion of the origin characters. His "introduction" puts a lot of people off on him.
@@MistyKathrine Unfortunate, since he's the funniest
@@damien678 Yeah, I kind of regret not recruiting him on my play-through but like, why would I want to invite him to my camp after he just tried to murder me?
I was playing the game for the first time so was still learning basic things about the game.
There are so many dudes who can’t wait to mention they’d kill Astarion like they’re obsessed with him as much as his fans are lmao, that’s a talent of Astarion IG
This gay era is going to look so weird to history, lol
I higly doubt it will as it's something that will get more and more normalized...
@@mrPurplexedYT But... it's not normal. It is rare.
@@Galdringreally not that rare
@@xRiseAndFall. About 5% of the pop is gay. True gender dys. is exceedingly rare. It's a fad for jaded kids.
It will return to normal once civilization have collapsed.
