Been playing for a while now and I've been meaning to drop by and let you know that your game is top notch in both playability AND the voice work.

The English dialog is logical and well delivered. The "inflection" part that many games completely get wrong is spot on here and actually a joy to listen to completely.

There is no rushing through or skipping the dialog on quests for me (first time through though heh).

So anyway, I just wanted to compliment you (the Dev's) and the voice actors as well, and the writers on such a fine job!

A very enjoyable experience thus far smile

Warm Regards

Indeed!

If Oblivion got Divinity voice actors instead of using the same voice actor, that game would be a long live for me instead of a snore feast o.0

I quite liked most of Oblivion's voice actors, who I think ranged from "okay" to "very good". The main problem they had was trying to voice everything when there wasn't enough space on the disc to store the complete dialogue for more than the dozen regular voices they used; had they used a mixture of voice and text they could've probably doubled the number of voices and given us a lot more variety instead of just one male and female voice per race. Or two to three races, often.

I got used to it after a while but I can see why people complain about it. It wasn't helped by the fact that even with different voices, many of the lines (especially background dialogue) were recorded word-for-word.

There is a mod somewhere that changes intonation and consequently gives a bit more variety, e.g. Elf Woman's voice was raised in pitch for Bosmer voices and lowered for Dunmer, which doesn't sound much but it does make a difference.
