For anyone wanting to get to the let’s play without wading through that ad infested excuse of a website:
Thank you
Sure. You’re welcome.
Finally, it’s like a patch that removes the silence of the main player character.
Play as that character when you are that character’s actual voice actor, and all of those lines can now have true, voice-acted dialogue. It’s that easy.
I was really hoping he’d take the Astarion Origin, but alas. Still, looks like a great time.
I don’t know if they’ll ever finish it, but it’s a fun watch regardless. It’s very slow paced right now.
I had no idea the guy who played Thurston Howell III on Gilligan’s Island was still around before I played this.
No, thanks. I’m not interested in people who perv on others while they’re sleeping.
You know the game is fiction, right?
I think they were just making a joke.
Is it a joke though? Whole swaths of the internet legitimately have no ability to separate fiction from reality… really seems like this guy (and at least one other reply to him) is upset at Neil Newborn for things Astarion did.
If it’s a joke, Poe’s Law is in full effect, because I’ve met so many people who are actually like this.
Hmm. I can see why the /s was so popular to use on Reddit. I’m a pretty sarcastic person, so reading the original comment sounded like to me a very sarcastic answer. There are mentally ill people who can not differentiate between reality and fiction, but I would never just assume someone has that issue from a single comment I guess.
Think King Geoffrey from Game of Thrones for example. There are people hating the actors guts because of his role in a series.

Not seeing nearly enough actors who played hitler in this thread.
They’re making a reference to something that happens in the game…why the downvotes? If anyone is actually upset at the voice actor for his character’s actions, then those people are very stupid.
I didn’t downvote anyone, why ask me? But if you haven’t noticed that VAs have been having a hard time lately with being harassed for asinine things, let this be a wakeup call. It happens, and it happens a lot. Brushing them off as a mentally ill super tiny minority is not the reality of things unfortunately.
I’m not saying OP is one of them, but I do think it’s potentially dangerous to just assume someone is definitely kidding when so many who say the same things aren’t.
And that’s the problem: he’s making reference to something that happens in game… as a reason not to go to an actor’s stream. As if it’s the actor’s fault that scene happened.
Exactly. It’s happened before, and it will happen again.
And even if the person posting that knows the difference, not everyone here knows the context. So even if, with benefit of the doubt, we all know it’s a joke about his character, anyone reading this thread who isn’t familiar with the story of Baldur’s Gate 3 is going to get the impression that the voice actor is a sex pest if not outright abuser.
“perv on others while they’re sleeping” really doesn’t accurately sell POTENTIALLY MURDERING YOU.
