Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General A relatively fresh article from Techradar with S. Vincke; IGN article added.

I mean, it made the sequel better, so...

I've been playing RPGs for the largest part of my 42 years of life, probably since the late '80s...And frankly I'm way past the point of thinking that acting super-elitist gives me a tone and pretending decent voice acting doesn't add to the game's overall feeling.
And these days it's not even a big limiting factor in terms of options... As long as the player is reasonable and doesn't expect to have full voice over for all the seventy-two possible permutations of his main character.
In fact if your title is any good I'd say it's basically a feature that most of the times repays itself with the additional audience it brings.
