Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 dev debunks Astarion actor\u2019s statement about hours of hidden content Larian StudiosAfter an old clip of Astarion actor Neil Newbon went viral, Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 developer Larian Studios clarified what he was referring to, debunking rumors that there\u2019s hours of undiscovered content in the game. Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 is a massive game with near infinite choices and consequences for just about any decision a player makes. Developer Larian Studios has included 17,000 possible endings, so it\u2019s not surprising that there are still things players haven\u2019t seen yet. After a clip of Astarion actor Neil Newbon went viral, fans began looking for a large chunk of \u201csecret\u201d content that players supposedly missed. This prompted a response from Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 developer Larian Studios, who clarified that the clip was weeks old and players have in fact found the quest and dialogue in question. Note, spoilers for Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Act 2 to follow. Astarion actor Neil Newbon was referring to Blood of Lathander side-quest During one of his regular Twitch streams in which he signs autographs and answers fan questions, Astarion actor Neil Newbon teased the existence of a section of the game that players can only access by doing something very specific. While discussing the sheer size of the game and how much content there is that players are bound to miss during a single playthrough, Newbon mentioned there\u2019s about \u201ctwo hours of content\u201d that no one has found yet. At the time Newbon couldn\u2019t provide any details or hints \u2013 including whether the sequence even involves Astarion \u2013 saying he was \u201ctold this in confidence\u201d and he thinks he is \u201cone of the few people who knows about it.\u201d While the stream took place close to the game\u2019s launch, the clip really started gaining traction recently. With so much speculation as to what Newbon was referring to, Larian has confirmed that it has already been found. In a statement shared with GamesRadar+, Larian said: \u201cNeil\u2019s comments were from a signing he did closer to the launch of the game, and he was being secretive in order to avoid spoilers. Players have since found the quest and the lines of dialogue he was talking about. Spoilers ahead! \u201cThere\u2019s a quest off the beaten path at the Rosymorn Monastery that rewards you with a nice mace called the Blood of Lathander. If you\u2019re not careful or you try to steal the mace, you may activate a terrifying solar weapon. \u201cIf you (intentionally or unintentionally) kill Astarion with this solar weapon and then revive him once you\u2019re back at camp, he\u2026 will have some choice words for you.\u201d Those \u201cchoice words\u201d have actually been circulating for about a month now. At the time they were found, players praised the bizarrely specific scene and Newbon\u2019s \u201cperfectly unhinged line readings.\u201d While there may not be hours of content the way fans thought, there\u2019s certainly still much to uncover in Baldur\u2019s Gate 3. With a game of this size, players will undoubtedly be finding hidden details, creative solutions, and more for years to come.
