A talented Baldur's Gate 3 player online has shown off their impressive Astarion cosplay, which looks just like a bloodied variant of the fan-favorite vampire. The creativity of the Baldur's Gate 3 community continues to impress, with this being the latest in a series of impressive cosplay from fans.
Ever since Baldur's Gate 3 was released just over a year ago, Astarion has been a massive fan favorite among the community. Neil Newbon's performance as the complex vampire character instantly wowed gamers, winning the actor multiple awards, including Best Performance at last year's Game Awards. This has also resulted in tons of interesting fan creations, including a Baldur's Gate 3 fan who created a LEGO version of Astarion. It's cool to see how creative the community can be at times, and considering the character's enduring popularity, it doesn't seem like it'll end any time soon.
It's Always Sunny Characters Recreated in Baldur's Gate 3
A Baldur's Gate 3 player shares their funny build by recreating the game's characters into the cast from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
Redditor Morello_cos shared their bloody Astarion cosplay with the Baldur's Gate 3 community online, and there's no doubt they look a lot like the popular vampire. It isn't just the costume and their appearance that looks like Astarion; from the images, Morello_cos also has the intensity of the performance nailed down. This is one of the biggest reasons that Astarion is considered one of the best companions in Baldur's Gate 3, which this cosplayer has captured perfectly.
Baldur's Gate 3 Bloody Astarion Cosplay
Throughout Baldur's Gate 3, players will encounter a colorful cast of characters. Larian did a great job ensuring every character felt unique, from the companions to the one-time encounter NPCs. As a result, a massive cosplay scene has developed from Baldur's Gate 3, with fans choosing to dress up as their favorite characters from Larian's RPG. Just recently, there was a Baldur's Gate 3 player who showed off their Sister Lidwin cosplay, showing that it's not always the main characters who get the cosplay treatment.
With Larian recently releasing the massive Patch 7 for Baldur's Gate 3, it remains to be seen how much more content will come to the game. It has already been confirmed that Larian is moving on from the series as a whole, with Wizards of the Coast left with the daunting task of replacing the developer for the next mainline title. Even with Larian moving on, there's still some good news for players. Earlier this year, Neil Newbon revealed he'd "love" to reprise his Baldur's Gate role as Astarion in the future, so the character's return is a distinct possibility if the next developer chooses to use him.
