I bought <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beyond.gif" alt="" /> last night from EB. I waited until today so I could get the patch before I played it. I was a bit curious about the new Death Knight voice after reading all of the negative posts comming in. Words cannot describe this new voice, but the best I can come up with is [color:"green"]Kermit the Frog[/color] on [color:"red"]
steroids[/color].
I don’t understand how they could go from a great set of voices in <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" />, to this. I played the <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> all the way to the end and the voices were brilliant. Now I am stuck in this cell for
eternity because I don't even want to play the game now.
The dialog that I saw in the demo, made me think the Death Knight was [color:"yellow"]"annoyed"[/color] and [color:"yellow"]"sarcastic"[/color]. The first actor made him sound [color:"orange"]"dull"[/color] and [color:"orange"]"bored"[/color]. This new actor makes him sound [color:"red"]"loud"[/color] and [color:"red"]"annoying"[/color].
Seriously, is this what the game dialog writer had in mind for the Death Knight? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> I don’t know why you did not hire the guy that did the first Dragon Rider at the beginning of <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" />. That is what I had in mind for the Death Knight.
This is no joke. I
waited in high anticipation and a long time for this game, only to shut it down before the Death Knight could finish his first sentence.
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" /> And so, I give a big apology to Larian for joining the masses and adding pressure to change the Death Knight's voice. I can only hope that you shipped the original voice on this CD, or will offer a voice patch to get back to the original voice shipped in the demo. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />
Until then I'll just sit back, drink a cold one, and watch the messages accumulate on these forums. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sleepey.gif" alt="" />
