Baldur's Gate 3. You've heard of it, I've heard of it - at this point, your gran's heard of it. Larian's Dungeons and Dragons-inspired epic was 2023's biggest success story, scooping up countless awards for every accolade under the sun. A huge part of the game's success, however, is its characters - Astarion especially. Neil Newbon's Pale Elf has won the hearts of so many (and also some awards), and his saga of strife and sass was easily my favorite part of the game. But, before BG3 launched, Newbon admits that he worried people "wouldn't get it."
