So, I first played Baldur’s Gate when it came out in 1998- oh my god. I remember trying to steal everything not nailed down in Candlekeep and invariably getting the s**t kicked out of me. Good times. Prior to that I’ve been playing advanced D&D with my friends, so it was great to see it digitised but THAC0mg rite?
I actually revisited the entire franchise not so long ago, only later learning that they were planning on releasing Baldur’s Gate III! But then they said it wasn’t going to be on console… but then they said it was going to be on PS5! And then I got a PS5! And so now I’m waiting, while the PC gamers go absolutely nuts playing it, until the console release next month. So, no spoilers please!
In the meantime, and before I invariably get inspired to makes a Baldur’s Gate III ASMR roleplay, here is a very vague and stilted recap of all the previous games. It’s your standard elf roleplay, but it was really hot and so I was uncomfortable and sweating a lot, as well as perpetually forgetting my lines. Enjoy, and thank you for watching!

🎙 What is ASMR? 🎧
ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response) is synaesthesia of the soul. It’s a relaxing feeling, it’s a tingling down the spine, or it’s simply a sleep aid. Whether it’s being ‘held’ by someone you have confidence in, or ‘looked after’ by someone with authority, or just feeling ‘safe’ with someone you trust, it uses audio-visual triggers to enable you to let go of your worries and stresses - even just for a bit.
📽 What is FPC? 🎞
FPC (first person cinema) takes all the relaxing elements of ASMR but has much more of a focus on immersion and the suspension of disbelief. It’s kinda like being the main character in your own short movie, with popular figures you know and love, or entirely created worlds - just for you. There won’t be any visible mics or traditional triggers in these videos, and they will seem more unintentional than the usual ASMR videos - but they are unique and relaxing experiences designed to transport you to different places, worlds, and times.
Disclaimer: This video is intended for relaxation. Any views, opinions, or advice expressed is purely for the purpose of entertainment, and to induce tingles through ASMR. These videos are not a substitute for traditional medicine, therapy, or any other professional medium, and should not be treated as such! Take all the advice with a pinch of salt, and certainly don’t take it to heart. That being said, please enjoy them, benefit from them, and hopefully get those warm, tingly feelings. Oh, and it’s not for kids.

Good to see Jim letting his hair down and allowing us to see his elf and welshness shine! Seriously though, the quality never ceases with his videos and while watching some of them, I've come to the realisation that if I did know him, I'd be a perpetually suspicious narcoleptic. This is because I could never trust a natural actor and his voice and speech continue to be one of the most relaxing things I think I've encountered. The subscriber number ticking up fast each week is well deserved.

[@savvy2114]

Seriously, he so good at impersonations that I forget he is welsh

[@MeandNata2]

The ad slid in so smoothly that I almost slipped. The light, the background sounds, the welsh accent, the make-up, the costume, the hair (especially the hair), simply 🧡💛🧡💛🧡💛

[@user-bh4tg2gd1y]

I really like how you included the sponsorship into the story! This is one of my favorites so far! Absolutely in love with your fashion style and accent, as well as the atmosphere! Medieval/Fantasy type worlds have always been my favorite, they make me feel at home! And you, Jim, certainly add to this adventurous yet cozy feeling! Thank you for enduring the heat for us, and don't worry, we won't spoil the game! Thank you again for yet another masterpiece!

@@Frankenzebra Oh I get it a Welsh elf. 😂

[@tammyv.asmrcattailsotherstorie]

All Jim's videos are great, but when the main character is a knight or an elf, you just know it's going to be awesome. 🙂👍

[@StarBoyBlue]

I am BEGGING for an Astarion episode!

[@celestialshiii]

I don't know if I'm mentally emotionally prepared to see this changelin- uh I mean Jim, play the role of Astarion. I think I'd genuinely evaporate if that happened. Out of joy ,yes, but still ...I'd evaporate .

[@tinyybiceps]

Astarion's voice is so calming, especially the whispers

Pretty elf boy in makeup! Beautiful! I enjoy coloring fantasy coloring book pages and give elves and faeries fantastic makeup and tattoos whenever possible. The pretty elf boys and dragon rider boys always get David Bowie style makeup. Thank you, Jim.

[@Shyverin]

You are the only KZbinr I’ve seen that didn’t make me want to skip the ad. Bravo.

[@conradmotz6206]

I’m playing Baldur’s Gate 3, and I notice you upload this! This is a good day!

[@danes.4551]

"Good, I like you!" The smile I just got-- 😳

[@WyvernDukemon]

Not only is this well done, but to expertly tie in the promotion without breaking the immersion, it is an artform!

[@LordTairan]

Knew this was coming! Awesome! As I'm sure an Asterion video is also coming

[@the_Alpha_and_Omega]

Yaaaaaaah

[@vilethescum5258]

If he does an astarion video I’ll become deceased

[@chookinathunderstorm3446]

Yay! My favourite Jim fantasy theme. An elf spinning yarns of wisdom, from mysterious sources, out of gossamer and glamour. Yet the message rings true and rings through to be entirely relatable to this world. A gorgeous elf guy with a concience and a mission to explain us to ourselves. Offering deep and touching empathy toward us and our mortal life experience. Relatable to him through some of his own personal experience of tragic loss. Yet still, there are the subdued sparkles of charmingly cheeky pixie wit laced here and there throughout it all. Sigh 💭 😌💫

[@dillonschneider9375]

YOU WORKED THE SPONSOR INTO THE VIDEO!!!? You genius! I actually didn't want the sponsor

[@stiffmidget4036]

I think I listen to this every night when I'm falling asleep, I would love more lore content in this style, perhaps Carajim can tell us more stories in the future?

[@ladyliberty417]

Love the story, after a long day it’s so nice to hear it with a gentle welsh accent ❣️

[@woeandagony]

I've been watching this every night since you uploaded this, I love the accent and the look for this one is so good

[@amaracrow0501]

I've been subscribed to your channel for a few years now and I'm so happy to see how much it's grown! You deserve all the success and I just wanted to thank you. You have helped me relax and sleep and oddly enough made my nights not feel so lonely. You are so very talented and your charm and ingenuity sets you apart in asmr communities. Warmest regards Jim!🌹💋

[@Hallofang]

I will PERISH with DELIGHT if you do Astarion

[@mariamcgee4462]

Loving this character! The make up is great and the soothing Welsh voice is gorgeous.

[@girlwhaleshark]

just stopped playing bg3 to go to sleep and saw this was uploaded- this game is consuming me 😂

[@quinn5337]

best promo I've ever seen lol 2:49

[@galaksina]

I am currently on about 105 hours (still got like 30+ hours left of the game in my first fun as I like to do everything), you will have a -field- day with this. As someone who has not played the other two games, i'm sure to learn from this one and it will be wonderful to hear what you think of BG3 once it comes out. At 105 hours in, as a warlock with an Archfey patron, i've gotten unique options and little comments specificaly to that on ocassion - even in places I didn't exspect it, or in sidequests that are so niche its entirely missable. And yet they put that in there-..xD I'll stop ranting, but so glad to see this from you.

[@chimeramanticore]

I'm finally in the loop on a game themed video of yours! super happy about this since bg3 has been consuming my life lately. and, from a very biased point of view, an astarion vid from you would make my whole year 👀

[@primateboogaloo]

0:08 Car parts, bottles and cutlery, or what ever I find lying around

[@celticbear714]

Invariable Astarion RP to come out whenever you get your mitts on the console release and play around a bit I reckon?

[@KiaraM]

You are always wonderful when you play an elf, your hair is gorgeous and you always have a perfect accent... I can imagine how hard you had to work in this awful heat staying in that costume, must have been very difficult but the result is always perfect ❤❤❤❤

[@eoskhars763]

I wanted to beg for this but I didn’t want to sound demanding, but of course you always know what your audience wants and you always pull everything off spectacularly. And now I’m down on one knee, ready to take an oath of eternal loyalty and give my life for you

[@hitokage4]

I. love. THIS! I really hope you'll do some character specific roleplays-- there's so much that could be done there!

[@rachelzx97]

I knew you would make this when I saw my feed is full of BG3 videos and live streams from those game players. I remember you said you got a ps4 or something in your 50k q&a. Now it is 200k and ps5 and 3 years have passed. Like everything's changed.

[@amampathak]

So Gooood Jim!

[@kellywilliam3708]

They formed a party, because You must gather your party before venturing forth.

[@snowflakewhite5068]

I was not expecting the sponsorship plug, that shit was smooth XD Also, can we please get videos of you actually playing DND dressed as this elf character and doing the voice and such, or even you as the DM? That would be amazing!

[@Hetfieldpsycho]

I was never played that, but it’s the most comfortable welcoming after a long nervous flight! Thank you, my friend!

[@meocaroba1518]

I just absolutely loved this. It made me so happy. Not particularly eloquent, yes, but it's the truest description of my feelings while watching. It was atmospheric, your voice perfect for this fantasy genre, AND it caught me up perfectly for BG3. Awesome work.

[@SnookieCookie125]

Jim I would commit dark crimes for an Astarion role play

[@ambskater97]

What did you do?

[@theradicalginger3060]

I haven't watched a Jim ASMR video in quite sometime I'm subscribed to so many asmrtists now XD but I always am amazed at how much he puts into his videos and the dressing up he does the costumes and outfits are on point!

[@lorekeeper2611]

Oh I’m so excited! I often put your stuff on in the background while gaming when I’m not using it for sleep and this is perfect!!

[@lazystarz3488]

wow the acting is superb! This was such a cool video!

[@ZachKateAda]

Keep up the relaxing and awesome job Jim 🤟

[@alexlamia9946]

I love everything about this, especially the accent! And the background noise was perfect! It wasn’t too loud or distracting. Thank you for another good, relaxing video.

[@heyhey439]

This is for sure my favorite so far. Everything works so well together ❤❤❤❤Love it!

[@tempestwakener]

The fact that you tell the story from the first game makes me so freaking happy. Now I have to go replay it while I wait to be able to play BG3 ❤

[@shyaerys4682]

I COULD FEEL THIS COMING! I’ve been watching the channel for when you’d drop a baldurs gate video!!! I’m so excited for this and any future bg3 vids 😭😭

[@jewels_rxannie611]

Of course he’d make an asmr on bg3! He always knows what’s up👌

[@MsBugg98]

Hear me out. Druid ASMR from Baldur's gate. Fits ya and the story.

[@unadventurer_]

I know you prepare like crazy, but it's fucking nuts how you did this all off the top of the dome in one take. Incredible stuff, man.

When was I last in Baldurs Gate? Cor it's been a while back in the PS2 era and I never played that much 😅 Really fancy giving the new one a try though. Always adore your fantasy vids Jimmy, it's certainly your element! We all know the Welsh are descended from elves so it makes sense :D

[@mapleleaf65]

Now, even when I eventually stop playing BG at 2 a.m., I can fall asleep to even more BG

[@serenumbra7406]

i think you should do a role reversal Astarion vid where the viewer comforts him because that would make me very soft and very emotional tbh
