Neil Newbon: Baldur's Gate 3 is 'too human' to be made by AI

Pcgamer reports Astarion actor Neil Newbon has finished a two‑year, 126‑episode co‑op stream of Baldur's Gate 3 with friend Tom de Ville and occasional guests, and in the final episode he said, 'Just goes to show to you folks, "fuck AI. This game could never be made by AI. It's too interesting, subtle, crazy, off‑the‑wall, pathos‑filled—it's too human. There's no fucking way AI could make this."'

Newbon spent a chunk of the episode summing up his feelings about the game, gave shout‑outs to several of the individuals involved, and deliberately let the credits roll so viewers could see the many people who helped create it. The stream featured other moments across its run, including Newbon romancing his own character.

The pair have already started a follow‑up let's play of Larian's previous RPG, Divinity: Original Sin 2, with on‑stream jokes about how long it will take one of them to ignite a surface and light the other on fire.
