I am not a sensationalist. I'm not one of those people who runs around saying "This is the worst ____ ever", because there are so many things in the world that it usually isn't. But out of the hundreds of games I've played in my lifetime, this one really does have the worst voice acting of all of them. Not just for the deathknight, but for all the charecters. Divine Divinity's could be campy, since they didn't have a huge budget or anything, but it wasn't bad. This, however, is just god-awful. I may turn off voices for the first time ever in a game, except the text has grammatical errors so I might misread it.

Hi everybody, i started this post the day the game came out because i had to vent my disappointment at the stupid tone of dk voice but now after playing some more i have to say the dk tone gets much better, he loses that stupid angry tone in his voice so now im ok with it, game is very interesting and fun to play except for the weird scrolling that reacts abruptly as soon as cursor gets near the end of the screen but thats another story :P

Hi Kay

Don't worry, the people are enough intelligent and they are going to buy the game even if they have read a few bad comments about the DK's voice.

I am a bit angry about the people who screamed 2 months ago about "the bad demo voices" and who realise now that they were wrong !

Larian people spent a lot of time, a lot of energy and a lot of money to change the voices to satisfy the gamers and these ones are still complaining !

I don't have the game for the moment and i am very impatient to get it.

I just started the game and i dont mind the voice. Both the demo's and this our good. I think the guy that did the voice acting for sarevok from Baldurs Gate wouldve been perfect for this guy IMO, but theres nothing wrong with this one and i think its stupid to not by a game just becuz you dont like a voice =/.

Im really excited to get into this game, especially about the skill system. I've always wanted a game where you had so many options to build a character you could make a totally unique charatcer. As much as I love baldurs gate, if you play a mage character 3 the character will prolly turn out the exact same each time, or if you made a fighter multiple times, youll probably always end up with the same weapons and armor by the end each time.

Argh, yes I was about to come here and post this myself. I LOVED the death knight's voice in the demo, he sounded sadistic but intelligent. In the full version he sounds like a constipated barbarian, granted I am not far yet and I hear he lays off the aggressiveness.
I certainly agree that the rest of the voice acting sucked, especially the guards locked in that room, that was so bad I thought it was a joke, but the Death Knight was excellent.

*EDIT*
Oh, I don't want to sound like i'm not absolutetly in love with this game, because I am ^_^ Divine Divinity was my second favorite PC RPG of all time, and this looks far superior in every way. So I would like to pass on my sincere thanks for making such a masterpiece of a series in a sea of developers who don't care. Hats off to 'ya! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

The voices for the trapped guards were quite funny IMO. So purposefully bad they're good. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Of course they're funny. Reminds me of the voice acting in Dynasty Warriors 3.
"You flaming idiots! Take this!"
