I know it's a minor detail, but it's a detail that's been bugging me (since I'm really interested in voice acting and I'm a bit of a nerd on the subject).

I really love the voice acting in Original Sin and I wanted to know who the voice actors were. The problem is that they're not in the credits (was it a mistake, or did they asked to be uncredited). All that we know is that they used the same studio as in Divinity: Dragon Commander (I recognised a few voices, but that's it).

So I was wondering if anyone (either at Larian or otherwise) knew anything about the voice cast (especially since someone from Larian was nice enough to tell us who voiced who in Dragon Commender (wonder if it would be possible to know for Divinity 2 as well)).

Thanks in advance. It's still an awesome game (though I'm trying to finish Divine Divinity first).

I'd also be interested to know, for the record. I like to know who the voice actors are in the games I play, but it can sometimes be a challenge trying to find out!

Most voice acting for games of this nature are done from people that work in the company. I'm not saying the voice actors for this work for Larian or they don't. I'm just shedding some light on how the voice acting is done for some games.

And if that is the case, they're still credited, just not in the way we think hey would be.

ISTR that Two Worlds' legendary voice acting was the result of a DIY attempt! My understanding is that most VAs are professionals as it's a remarkably difficult thing to get right, and is often the modders' bane.

I thought that it was said that Larian reused the same studio for Voice Artists that they used for Dragon Commander.

They had a video from the Dragon Commander VO sessions on YouTube.

They used the same studio, but didn't say whether or not they used the same voice artists... the harder it is to figure out who they are, the more I want to know. laugh Even if I've never heard of them beyond a walk-on part in Casualty, as can often be the case!

I wonder if there's a way to contact Larian directly outside of this forum (or if there's a way for them to notice this topic).

They're generally very good at responding to stuff and often appear in the forums, though they're a little busy at the moment following the release! Might be worth dropping them an email at some point, though...

Do you know which email specifically I could use to ask them such a question?

support@larian.com is probably a good bet for your first port of call...

I'll probably try it tommorow morning (it's 16:00 for me at the moment).

I'm just wondering how I'm going to ask the question since it's technically not a "technical support" question (and I don't want my email to be discarded).

What exactly do you mean? Should I say "This message is for Lynn" or does he (or she) have a separate address?

I have some bad news. Lynn doesn't know anything about that. Apparently, they "don't have such info from the studio right now."
