I love how Astarion's fanmade asmr are almost always voicelines clipped together from the game instead of someone trying to do his voice, because no one is capable of recreating Neil's amazing voice acting.
I can certainly appreciate anyone trying to voice Astarion for their videos, but you're right. I can't listen to those ones because they're just not...him. It's gotta be Neil for me!
Actually had to take a hot moment to stop the video once he started crying, I've never heard that audio without the loud soundtrack in the background and needless to say it FLOORED ME 😭😭😭
Yes, it's jarring isn't it? Such a powerful performance by Neil. It makes me think about the fact that it's likely how tav/durge hears it in the moment. Heartbreaking. 💔
oh so a minute and a half in and I'm crying. meeting neil a few days ago was so surreal and the things he did to bring astarion to life.. a true artist.
Best I’ve seen so far. Thanks for all the time and effort put in. I wish there had been more interactions for him to adjust after the Cazador confrontation. He gets no time to recover or process until boom he’s ready to sleep with you again no problem…
@@HeleneTheCleric Yes mine too the scene is excellent. Also wish you could hug him when he collapses to his knees and cries out after killing Cazador or at least put a hand on his shoulder to show him you’re there for him or something. This guy needs so many kind words and support. And lots more hugs.
Gods, this is beautiful! He sounds so broken at the start, I can't stand it. I just want to embrace him and never let go. You outdid yourself! Thank you for this amazing audio.
I have finished my 5th run and every time I have faced Cazzy together with Astarion and did the persuasion check I naturally rolled a success and it feelt incredibly good seeing that. I´ll protect him. We protect him. Thank you for this lovely asmr. ♥
My star 😭 if I could take all your pain away and make it mine I would. Also, this is absolutely a work of art. Just putting the voice lines together alone. I know that must have taken a long time. Amazing video! Thank you for sharing!
I remember feeling this exact same way and when my husband got home from work a little while after, I couldn’t tell him exactly what happened because I was ahead of him in the game but told him I finished Astarion’s quest and needed to hug him in lieu of being able to hug Astarion. 😅🥲 (Luckily my husband is the reason I got into BG3 bc he loves D&D and introduced me to it, so he was very understanding. 😅)
Oh, I just read your video description. Honestly? Its all fully understandable. Emotions are complex and sometimes hard to fathom. I simply want to enable you here with this: If you feel like doing something and it feels right, dont think too much about what others think. You can never please everyone in a group. This video (your idea) is very much what I have imagined after the fight, plus some other additional wholesome things, simply taking care of him. But to each their own what they make of it in their heads! Our fantasy is a place free of others judgement if we let it. It can be a safe space in my eyes. If Star was real I would like to gently train that into his brain over time. I think this was called "Affirmation", while he remains himself. There was always a lot of parts that stood out for me that told me "This is me, please see me for I am right here." The switching from performing and being himself back and forth was very notable to me from the beginning. My mind is taking all this and more to another level; I´m trying to put real life assets into his world and vice versa. How would I approach him? How would he react? To put it simple. I like lingering on thoughts like these; i never talk to anyone about it really. But thank you again for this lovely post and thank you for whoever read this.
@@michaelaengelbrecht5074 I think it might be one of the dialogue options in act 3 after his siblings attack the camp, but I would have to double check!
What Neil did with Astarion is just magic.
💯🤍
Truly

Neil is and always will be the best Astarion, but I have to say that the closest approximation I've heard is Phasmid ASMR. He did pretty doggone good.
@@chelseajackman7730 I love phasmid! Amazing ASMR maker, his was actually probably the only I've listened to fully.
I have literally never felt the URGE, the NEED, the WANT to hold and comfort someone so badly. I wish he were real so we could all give him our love 😭

Yes, I agree! The graveyard scene is beautiful and one of my favourites, but I always wanted a chance to comfort him after Cazador.

Thank you! Me too, that man needs all of the hugs and love we can give him. 🤍🤍
This actually made me tear up. Holy shit Neil’s voice acting really was phenomenal

Thank you so much for the kind words 🥺🤍 I'm really invested in these videos!
Don't cry. My Star, it breaks me
My poor sweet boy
Astarion: *breathes*
Me: 🤤😩🫠
I'm still here, how is his simple breathing so HOT- 💔
That was so beautifully put together! well done!
Thank you! I agree. I want to make a video of just hugging Astarion for 30 minutes straight 🥺

I've never heard the "take me with you" line! Omg, I'm deceased. ❤

Where'd you find some of this dialogue? I've never heard some of this in game
All of the dialogue used is from the game files, I just rearranged it!
@@HeleneTheCleric I'm dying to know where the line at 3:30 is from because I don't remember it
@@michaelaengelbrecht5074 I think it might be one of the dialogue options in act 3 after his siblings attack the camp, but I would have to double check!
1:07 アスタリオン😢
this is fantastic
have you considered doing any of halsin?
Yes, I would like to do videos of more companions in the future!
Is some of these lines from EA? Poor Star, I loves him. :
