Anyone else find Neve hard to listen to?
Monotone voice acting and speaks like she has a thought, but then cuts it into idiotic pieces of one-liners and pseudo-intelligence.

I don't know what the writers were thinking, but I find listening to her speaking hard to follow. Like the thought process doesn't end up where you would expect it to go and then I spend half the time trying to translate what she is saying into coherent language and then the "conversation" is already moving on.

in the german version, she has more emotions in her voice, but I cant stand her:
"this is my town" behaviour from the very start on,
(No Neve, stop pretending you are the founder, the leader and the only member from the shadow dragons, YOU ARE NOT)
would only made sense for her to akt like this AFTER a certain story decision

I have a theory about this.

It's legit what they think guys want their girlfriend to be.

If you study her character, her interactions, her mannerisms, she's clearly coded straight. She just is, she's there for the straight boys. First companion you pick up, put on full display as the "attractive and seductive" companion, she is the Miranda\Ashley\Isabela of this game. Even the end "scene" makes much more sense for a male\female relationship.

I'm a little insulted on behalf of guys everywhere.

Even though she was my first choice at a glance, the detective work seemed fun and interesting, at the end I agree with you. She's just about as shallow as the rest of them. So much potential, wasted.

Even Vivien, not liked her, but had so much nuance in her voice. You could almost feel and hear her how she looked down to you if you are not talking with her but against her.

Personaly, missing that kind of...how do i say that. Emotions? It feels so...clean...monotone. Not only Neve, they soundd all that way. I don't get any feelings of real emotion. The game is soulless, clinical...

Eh. I for the most part started to view her as a true to heart detective. Very inwards with her thoughts so it comes across as emotionless/monotone or cold when she does speak. In the same vein as Taash coming across as spoiled and obnoxious but then I started to view them as what they were; a very coddled teen/young adult by their mother always being told what to do or how to act.

Granted I'm still annoyed by Taash's character and keep them out of my party whenever possible, but viewing them as such lessens it a tad and makes their dialogue a little more bearable.
