Can you change the Narrator voice?
Can you change the narrator voice? I seem to get a female voice and I would prefer the one narrating to be a what more deep male voice. If possible atleast.

With a game of so much choice, I kind of feel like there must be an option somewhere overlooked.

Well, you'd be KIND of right if you think of the Baron Samedi-style butler the Dark Urge has as a 'sort' of Guardian.
Bonus points because he's actually voiced by the same person who is the DOSII narrator.

I feel like that's probably what Larian originally wanted to do. It feels like the reason you can customize your guardian is because it was originally supposed to be the "dungeon master's" appearance, so to speak. Besides, DOS2 already had something very similar to a guardian and you couldn't customize them.

Feels like they just recycled what they already had done and applied it to a story NPC instead.

A no-nonsense male voice would have done wonders for the narration. This game has too many posh British lady voices, period. It's basically posh British lady: the game. Narrator - posh british lady. Devil woman - posh British lady. Lizard woman - posh British lady who talks like Clint Eastwood. It's one of the worst aspects of the game.

The narrator is exceptional, However, if you'd find more comfort in a male voice, I can understand that, everyone has their preferences.

This makes no sense as the Guardian replaced the Dream Lover from the EA which had been included from Day 1.

The narrator is fantastic, what are you on about?

People have different taste.

Can we have Morgan Freeman as a narrator?

She identifies as a male.

The game started development in ~2017 and was released for EA late 2020. That's a 3 year window for them to decide to make this dungeon master "feature" and change their minds. And then another 3 years for them to change their minds on the dream lover.

make yourself and AI mod that voices it in any voice you want.
id actually like one that reads my characters dialogue options as i mouse over them :P

there's a select few scenes in the game where your custom character actually speaks and its awesome. id like all the dialogue to be spoken!

These guys are ludicrous. It could only be better if it were David Attenborough or something

That's not what we're saying. Also that reply has very strong "Imagine people having different preferences in narration styles, crazy right? God forbid they want to know if they can change it! They should just suck it up since I like it and my tastes are perfect." energy.
