Tiffin, it's not about shutting up - but if you read my list with all those topic titles about the voice => would you still say, this large amount is merely a matter of opinion? Or could you understand my opinion about over-exaggeration of one game aspect?
And therefore => could you understand gamers who probably read a few/all of those topics and therefore react gruffly?
I recall one theme in DD - yes, I'm going to repeat the no-no word: Multiplayer - where countless threads were opened in the old forum and lead to fed-up reactions afterwards.
BD was released with a voice - a voice that was changed due to gamer protests - ok, that's it. I doubt it will be changed. But I dread this: Div2 with voice acting and the reactions afterwards => guess, it will be the same as now, cause voice is a matter of taste. Taste! Not religion. So, can you understand my reaction of being amused about this storm in a waterglass?

And if you can't understand my distance about this fruitless commotion as the game was released like this => personally, I don't like voice-acting, because my "voice imagination" is better than being presented with a fix one. I can tell you what disturbed me in the demo: American accent. Surprised? Well, I can explain => I was brought up with British fantasy books, so fantasy has a British accent for me, not an American. If I read, I "hear" the British way of the DK saying something in an arrogant, snub, dry way - and so I delve into the game. The American way with guttural "l" and "r" is not the way I "hear" fantasy, this distracts me - is not fitting => ONLY for myself, because of my bringing up, you see?
So, you can guess, that I prefer books over movies as well, because my inner imagination is better for me than a presented fix one.
