‘They stuck to their convictions’: Astarion’s VA Neil Newbon is glad Larian stepped away from Baldur’s Gate 3 to follow their passions, since ‘It was absolutely the right call’

Baldur’s Gate 3 was one of the best RPGs of the decade, and it’s not getting a sequel—at least, not one made by Larian, anyway. That’s simply because the developer’s heart wasn’t in it, or the prospect of making DLC, either. I can’t quite blame them. If I spent close to 10 years doing anything,…
