It's aggravating that so much went into npcs and origin characters, and the voices for custom characters are so limited by comparison.
Role-playing is the entire purpose of the game and yet I'm stuck with my huge barbarian dragon man sounding like a mundane posh British guy. Where's the sly, snarky voice set for rogues? The boisterous and booming voice for warriors? Why do all characters and races mumble the same lines all the time regardless of race or class? Why give so many options for changing character appearance but undercut it by having no diversity for the way they sound and speak?
For a game that's been praised up and down for its attention to detail, there's a surprising amount of low hanging fruit left in the most important places.
It's not just the sound of the voices either it's also the writing.
There's no option for evil/ less good characters.
At least for female characters ( haven't played a male character ) the voice lines all sound too kind like they were written with a good character in mind, not even neutral.
The same goes for a lot of dialogue options too, where even turning people down when they ask you for help you'll apologize for not helping them sometimes lol.
I am trying to do an evil playthrough, not stupidly evil even but just '' I am out for myself and don't shy away from killing people '' and I feel like my character is being too nice.
Edit: I played Pathfinder WoTR recently too and there you have actual diversity in terms of choices of how to RP your character.
It's insane how limited to me BG3 feels after having played WoTR, I feel like the dialogue options were so much more varied in terms of personality of your character.
ESPECIALLY if we take mythic paths into consideration too.
In BG3 I feel like the game is kinda fighting against me and how I want to play.
