There is an established trope of female voice-over for narration like this, maybe linked to the idea of computers having female voices going all the way back to Star Trek? It's probably just cultural programming, but we tend to trust the female voice more than a male one. Maybe some genetic Mother imprinting?
Anyway, I don't care and the voice acting I've heard for the narrator is very good so far, nicely nuanced. I don't think Larian needs to spend more money on this part of the game.
Do you trust the narrator in the game?
I think it also has to do with the story and we will meet the voice at one point. So the idea of having a male voice with that potential female character is out of the window anyway as that would probably not sell so well.
It's a very alluring voice, perfect for the temptation elements everywhere. Trusting? Not so sure, but I'll abuse the tadpole powers just in case and nothing bad will happen
DOS2 had a male narrator. I generally enjoyed it except *ahem* the boat scene. But I think I do prefer female voice as it has a little bit more variety and character, the male voice sounds more flat.
I'd rather they gave us voiced protagonist.
Nice to hear Malady's voice in a more subdued cadence without all of the stress in her voice, and there's a cool air of mystery about the way that she speaks.
Totally agree! Sounds like the narrator enjoys her job in game and in life for sure.
I have been trying to remember just which game had which narrator and it is not something that stands out that often. Bastion comes to mind but the Kid didn't have a voice as far as I remember.
I never liked the BG narration that much but since it is attached to the game, it still worked for me.
I really hope we get a more voiced protagonist but since there are only 2 options for each, they are still working on it.
