I am not that far in the game yet but I know that there is a witch (and honorable member of the forum) in the game called Kiya. Perhaps her char. have a voice. And I am sure it will be female. Have you reached that point yet? Perhaps someone who did can tell us. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wave.gif" alt="" />
I did -- I finished Act III yesterday, right before I made this post, and as best as I can tell all of the female characters in Act III (and there are a fair number, including the witch Kiya) were men in falsetto.
Leather Raven, that was a very interesting insight into the making of the game, and I appreciate your sharing it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I had noticed the heavy amount of dialogue, actually, and had been wondering to myself about what a pain it had to be for translation teams. (That's why with DD and BD both, I don't mind when the occasional strange word or typo or bizarre turn of phrase sneaks in -- it's not as though I'd do any better translating a game into my second language, while under a deadline.)
Of course, that only addresses the writing of dialogue. It still doesn't say why the voice actors were men. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
