Am I crazy, or were Astarion’s lines re-recorded? They sound different to me - like maybe it’s a different actor or the intonation is different?
You are not crazy, I noticed that too. However, I don't think that they needed to re-record -- usually voice actors do a handful of passes at each line, and these can also be tweaked in sound prod to the director's heart's content. Maybe they went back to the archive and picked a different take?
Personally I would take a Terabyte's worth of Neil Newbon just saying "Hello, lover." in Astarion's voice, that's my dream ASMR.
