Critical Role Voice acting

[Capt. Jean-Luc Shipard]

Would be super cool if the cast of critical role were to do some voice acting.
Having a real life Mighty nein or Vox machina in the game or possibly make a mod for it would uber cool.

Thoughts?

I Understand that they are in Exandria and not faerun but the idea sounds neat.

No. Ashley Johnson traumatised Deadfire players. Let BG3 players retain their sanity.

They are all talented voice actors and I would love to see them appear in any future game. It would be nice to see them cast in less familiar sounding roles though that also showcase their range. For instance, Mercer as a kobold, firbolg or a crazy old shopkeep rather than the suave/heroic stoic type.

I'd be kinda surprised if at least Matt Mercer didn't make a cameo as a voice actor for one of the characters. The members of Critical Role are not only very popular and professional voice actors within the dnd community, but they've also have a really good working relationship with Wizards of the Coast.

Not everything you don't understand is a troll

The way he phrased it I thought he was either trolling or did not know they are all voice actors.

does it really add anything to the game? a voice actor is a voice actor (not dismissing the work, it just doesn't need to be a specfic one if the content isn't related to them)

It's something that isnt noticed unless it's done wrong

i mean, i wouldn't say that, ive heard some excellent VO's, but like, it effectively doesn't matter to me if VA:1 or VA:2 does it

no. the voice actors are natural born brits and are doing a sublime job. Nothing worse than americans doing brittish impressions, even critical role. Owlcat need to pick them up for their next pathfinder game. But big no for BG3.

It would more just be a fun cameo or easter egg considering how popular Critical Role is in the 5e community and how close they are with Wizards of the Coast/DnD beyond

if all it really provides is a nod to a randomly D&D podcast of which there are probably hundreds, that doesn't really add anything to the game.

The thing about Critical Role is not that they are a random D&D podcast, they are THE D&D podcast. The most successful one. They raised over $3 million dollars in less than 24 hours on kickstarter to make a single animated short starring their campaign 1 characters, and it ended up so successful that Amazon has taken over production costs and 2 seasons of an animated adventure of the 1st campaign is coming to Amazon Prime.

There is an entire D&D effect named after Mathew Mercer for new players to D&D having too high expectations of their DM's thanks to how popular Critical Role is, and how good of a dungeon master Mathew Mercer is.

Except Critical Role isn't just any dnd podcast, they're THE dnd 5e podcast. They're the most popular dnd 5e podcast to date and are one of the biggest contributing factors to 5e's rising popularity.
Hell, Matt Mercer himself not only helped participate in writing the Waterdeep Dragon Heist adventure module(one of if not the best official 5e adventure modules to date), but Wizards of the Coast literally published his Explorer's Guide To Wildmounte.
