Voice Over - Unpopular Opinion

[Tung Tung Tung Tung Tung Tung Tu]

Unpopular opinion : The dialects and accents of the NPC/Quest characters (50% of them) completely kill immersion in the game IMO. It's just odd how in medieval bohemia you get a guy that speaks a Jordie accent (North part of the UK) and 5 minutes later you speak to another guy that has a very hard Irish accent. This might be a simple personal issue but after playing for hours it becomes a bit of a let down. Not to mention that one of the inns has an innkeeper that changes voice and dialect and accent depending on what you do, if you play dice/talk/cut-scene she has like 3 different people voicing her and it throws you off a lot. Just personal opinion tho

I've noticed that aswell with playing dice, i just find it funny tbh

Yeah, Betty the Inkeeper speaks Yorkshire and Jamaican or something similar at the same time. It's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ awful.

Not only I keep hearing the same 3 voice actors voicing most major characters but I also think that some foreign voice actors like one doing Bergow is awful. Just truly terrible voice acting.

Bergov is actually a Czech voice actor speaking English to emphasize his foreign persona; he is not from Czechia himself so it kinda fits

Yes, I thought so too but as a foreigner that's heard a lot of foreign accents in my life I can tell you that the way he speaks is really bothering me.
He speaks perfectly fluent English with a very choppy pronunciation which just shows to me that he's reading off a paper, breaking my immersion a bit. Nobody with that accent speaks so fluently and eloquently. It just does not fit.

The VA is not the standard of the first game IMO.
