maybe its because i've been spoiled by all the great voice acting in other games, but the dk's acting just don't cut it. compared to the single player rpgs out there like kotor and deus ex, the acting in <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" /> just doesnt' measure up to the competition.
now i wouldn't be so annoyed if the rest of the game is better; they're using 2-d graphics, the game uses a 2 year old engine with gameplay that people have complained about already (lack of targeting, bindable party selection keys, better camera control), and now the crappy voice acting...
so far it really doesn't have much going for it aside from <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> fan loyalty. is larian betting on the fact that the (so far unproven) fun gameplay is going to win over the competition and make sales? is a person new to the <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> universe going to be impressed by the demos' 1) 2-d graphics engine 2)inadequate UI and 3)umimpressive voice acting? i think not...
now there's nothing they can do about 1), 2) they said they're addressing, and i'm glad lars says they might be addressing 3)
