The voices behind Shadowheart, Lae’zel, Karlach, and Astarion break character to engage in a delightful dance of silliness on TikTok and Twitter.

Baldur’s Gate 3 VA Goosetarion Impression, Animated
Astarion is a sassy bloodsucker whose voice drips with arrogance, thanks to Neil Newbon’s masterful delivery. Neil is no stranger to uploading Astarion impressions online, but one of his latest contributions really shook the community.
Neil, known for his Twitch escapades (where he occasionally dabbles in the fine art of Untitled Goose Game mischief), stumbled upon a peculiar query: “Out of all of your characters, who would make for the best goose?” With a flair that only Neil could conjure, Astarion’s voice transformed into a goose’s honk, and thus, “Goosetarion” was born.
Now, TikTok sorcerer fidzyo stepped in with an enchanting spell of animation. Goosetarion, with his iconic hair and personality, waddling through pixelated landscapes in all his feathery glory. I didn’t know I needed an arrogant vampire merged with a sassy goose, but I’m thankful nonetheless. The animation took this audio absurdity to soaring heights. Now, I can’t help but imagine Astarion’s sultry voice emanating from every honk.

It’s not just about the gameplay anymore; it’s about the camaraderie transcending the screen, transforming fantasy into a chuckle-worthy reality.
