Dragon Age 4 Best Voice Acting?

[pjedilord]

I think Dragon Age 2 had the best voice actors? qun race had best voices.
So even talking to small side missions we had funny british accents that
worked so well, acting and tone of their speech was so perfect, I enjoyed
so much, what do people think of voice acting in Dragon Age 4? some seems off?
What do people think is the best voice acting in Dragon Age games?

Harding has good voice, what peoples best voice in Dragon Age 4?

Personally i loved the voice acting. Whoever plays Bellara delivers her lines perfectly imo

[Shad]

A lot of them made me want to take a cheese grater to my ears after hearing them deliver their lines but some like Lucanis or some of the returning characters weren't too bad.

Yeah, I also felt some of the VA felt off or low quality or just not good. But I think most of it was sufficeable, though like BG3 VA ♥♥♥♥♥ all over this game's VA. My main team was Harding and Bellara and a lot of the times I couldn't differentiate which one of them was talking based on just their votes. They sounded too similar to me.

The Voice Acting in this game might be the best I've ever heard.
Every single performance is a 10/10.

Watching the clips on Youtube, I have to say the voice acting seemed very bad all around.

[MrFlibble]

the voice acting was crap, it sounded just like the kind of conversations you hear in a Californian coffee shop, probably because thats where the writing took place.

the writing was far to modernised for the setting

I agree, my second time through I am finding more appreciation for Bellara, character and VO.

She tugs on my heart strings she has so much personality in her voice♥️

Irelin (I don't know how to spell her name), the Dalish friend of Bellara has something like a South African accent. That, coupled with some ott voice acting makes me cringe so hard. I normally like the SA accent, but for some reason it just seems very out of place on a Dalish Elf. Especially one who looks somewhat Asian.

But it's Neve's voice/acting that really kills me. I avoid talking to her wherever possible, and skipping any dialogue I can't avoid.

Lucanis is excellent imo. Varric, too, as well as most of the Rooks.

The voice acting is "okay". The standards for voice acting and dialog in games these days are extremely low so a game with average voice acting like this feels a lot better than it is. That's not to say I'm dis-crediting the voice actors.

I like Neve voice acting, but i dont like her hat, what dont like about her voice?
Bellara voice would be perfect for life is strange, but not right for Dragon Age?

[Sentient_Toaster]

Voice acting's fine, generally. And if we really cared about the VA being strictly setting-based, none of them should be speaking any Earth languages and we should be limited to reading subtitles -- the game is just translating for the player's convenience.

The short conversations between companions as you wander repeat way too quickly and frequently, however, like you can hear the exact same conversation multiple times if you walk from one quest to another without heading to the fast-travel beacons and switching party members.

Irelin's way of speaking reminded me of Drummer from The Expanse. Was kind of weird to have that comparison going on every time I passed through.

Agree about Neve. I don't think it's the actor's fault though, it's just delivered very flat. Aiming for detached but landed at 'been on the mogadons'?

To my ear it sounds like she's reading the phone book (in olden times people's phone numbers were listed in a massive book). She emphasises words that don't need amphasis, and reads words that do need emphasis completely flat. There's just no personality there.

In Inquisition I always loved talking to Dorian, because the way he spoke sounded like nobody else. His snark always came through, but you could always tell when he was being serious. Neve just sounds like someone standing in a recording booth (in her room) reading the lines that were emailed to her.

Perfect comparison! 100% agree. :)
