Female formal voice 3, is that a guy talking?

[TowerWizard]

It really sounds like a guy talking. What do you think? Build a female high elf wizard philosopher, and you should have Formal as a personality trait. Then listen to voice 3.

Female voice 3 and male voice 3 are the same voice. They have two female voices, two male voices and 1 gender neutral voice. Just from the posts I've seen it seems they came close to neutral but just missed it because the only posts I see are "why does my girl sound like a dude". Because I don't see any asking "why does my dude sound like a girl" that makes me think the neutral one may be leaning slightly man-ish. I think it's a pretty hard thing to nail down though.

yes

[TowerWizard]

Thanks for the answers. I have a party of three females and one male, and one female got voice 1, the second voice 2, and the third voice 3. Seems you need to have 2 male and 2 female, then.

It is there for gender stuff. My only beef with that is there should have been 4 male and 4 female voices since you can make 4 characters.

They could partly solve it by just having every character able to pick from every voice. They already do this with hair.

[TowerWizard]

They could also re-lable the third voice from "voice 3" to "neutral voice".

Voice 3 is a man, even if it's a bit high pitched. A good voice for a hafling rogue. I'm pretty sure that the voice actor is man, at least biologically.
I don't know if there is evidence that voice 3 is supposed to be gender neutral but if it's the case it sounds like an excuse to just put 5 voices instead of 6.
I still don't know why Tactical Adventures bothered having full voice acting and a cinematographic camera during dialogs. Their budget is obviously limited and they spent money on this kind of stuff. Pillars of Eternity 1 and Divinity Original Sin 1 didn't had any of this things at their release and the studios behind those game were bigger.

how speak a trans person some was male but will be a women? are that a they?

[Socipat]

I use female voice 3 for my female dwarf cleric. It just fits as I don't see dwarf women really sounding all girly.

[Grumpy Old Dude]

geebus gawd...how many threads about voice 3 need to be started?? Use the gddm search function

[TowerWizard]

That, or simply change the description of the voice in game from "female 3" to "neutral".

[Gracey Face]

They have a bunch of voice actors. They could have just had people voicing NPCs also do character voices. So what if you run in to an NPC with the same voice (though I could swear that already happens)? It's better than having 5 voices.

I thought the male voice 3 sounded like the derpiest voice ever, so I gave it to my rogue who has the derpiest face I've made in a character creator. Honestly after an hour and a half with the game I was ready to refund it, and even had the request in limbo for two days. In the end, I decided to keep it, because frankly the voice acting and animations and story are all so bad that they circle around to being hilarious. It's like a so-bad-it's-funny movie, but with solid gameplay.

Seriously, when two unrelated missions report lizardmen, and the council groans that they are tired of hearing about lizardmen (24 times with the lizardmen!), and they will only believe that lizardmen are real when you bring back proof... all while delivering this stupidity with these derpy voices, faces, and animations?

Priceless

(Basically what I'm saying is, embrace the derp. It's very enjoyable)

[Second Batch]

I'd take Jar Jar

I am surprised you didn't mention the part where a dragon goes on a seemingly never ending rant about how bad slavery and racism are after having just consumed the soul of a "lesser" that she created specifically to be a slave.

It circled past being so bad it's funny and then went back to just bad.

You're either playing a badly translated foreign language version or you need to revisit that dialogue again.

Kythanza was a portion of the dragon's life force moulded to look like and have the personality of an elf. That was how the dragons were choosing to walk among and interact with the other races rather than reveal their true selves. They only appeared in their true form to seal the rift.

Dragons assuming other guises to explore the world has been a part of D&D since its earliest editions back in the 1970's.
