Romance jaheira? why change minsc voice actor?

[Fistimus Maximus]

Had her as party member in both games aswell as romanced her, Any chance we can romance her in this title? khalid would want us too. Also a question sure has been addressed why did they change Minsc's voice actor? hmmm piglet?

I doubt Jaheira is romanceable. She'll be super old at this point, near the end of her half-elf lifespan.

Minsc's original voice actor is Jim Cummings and he is definitely a super-talented voice actor, but he's also 70 years old now. He can likely do it but just like Irenicus's voice actor for Siege of Dragonspear, it is obvious that aging is a thing. That would work if Minsc hadn't been petrified for a century and is still roughly the same age he was at the end of BG2.

Mathew Mercer is one of the most talented voice actors these day and can match Minsc's original voice to near perfection, and has been a long-time fan of the series and of D&D and will treat the role with respect. If anyone could replace Jim Cummings, it would only be either Matt Mercer or Brian Hull in my opinion.

Not a deal breaker for me, it's Jaheira man.

I don't know, I just wish I could pick voice actors, ALL games would have John Cleese in them.

Darkwing Duck is currently in the employ of ESO. They pay very well.

Bethesda voice acting is always so terrible though, and they have a real thing for Linda Carter. Their various smiths and shopkeepers always take me right out of the game with their identical, poorly read lines. Fallout was cringe with it, had fun and all but Bethesda's dialogues/actors are painfully tame. Like Disney Boba Fett tame.

yeah its why I mentioned piglet, Her age isnt a issue for me. Never played dragonspear as didnt consider it cannon but Irenicus's voice actor was great. Your right that age can effect voice but just look at Peter Cullen.

I also don't consider Dragonspear canon, but I made it somewhat fun for myself to think of it as a hazy dream the bhaalspawn has while being tortured by Irenicus. That would explain why we go from fighting adult green dragons, liches, go into the hells and fight a devil that require's +3 weapons to even injure to fighting goblins in the dungeon.

most grannies aren't interested in pursuing romances with random younglings, folks. Playersexual npc's are a blight. Not everyone should be romanced, c'mon...

not the ones at the ends of their paths after two loves of their lives killed. Also, Jaheira was not warm, open and emotional person. So her being romancable would be only a fan service for folks that fap to pixels. Grow up.

She is far more interesting than the line up we have, "Yes, oh omnipresent authority figure?"

Just imagining BG5, set 1000 years after BG1-2 and people are still romancing Jaheira's ashes because why not.

Just let her be, she's been through enough.

If you don't like the lineup in the game, you can just not romance anybody. It is possible.

[Pan Darius Cassandra]

Yeah sure, why not? Just make sure she removes the dentures first.

Classic, old fashioned ageism! Granny needs love too!

Besides, Jaheira is a half-elf. Old or not, elfs age more gracefully than humans do, which means less wrinkles, less sagging, regardless of age. She probably looks like a fit young person, but with grey/white hair. A life of adventuring also tends to keep one in shape.

Old people deserve love too, Plus anyone who played previous will have a soft spot for her. Interested in how they build her aswell as she was warrior/druid.
