Thoughts on voice acting?

[Johnny 5]

Not wanting to complain, just curious what people thought of this.

I've found it very inconsistent. It's not a big deal because it doesn't make up a big part but some of the actors are odd.

Idira sounds a big forced, Pascal's actor sounds like he is bored rigid, Jae's i found completely bizarre, to the extent i made this post.

Adelard and Argenta are strong thoguh

You must not have played very many video games.

This comes from someone with a background in acting (albeit comparatively minor).
The voice acting in this game is...good. Not amazing, not mediocre, it's good. It's a mix of amazing and "meh" characters, and sadly a lot more could have been voiced.

For example, the Pious Male voice is amazing. "I WANT TO HEAR THE MACRO CANNONS ROAR!!!" gets me every time. The PCs are mostly "solid/good" with a few great (Argenta) and mediocre (Jae) outliers. The Mad PC voices seem too over-the-top, but serviceable. Cassia is super annoying, but I suppose that's by design and a bit of bad writing (her complaining about having to fight gets very grating very quickly).

Aurora was abysmal. Definitely the low point of VOs in this game, it was laughable. Given how epic and terrifying his entry was, his voice sounded like they grabbed a random above average grandpa off the street and gave him the mike.

So yeah, I rate it a solid 7.5/10, but it lacks that "oomph" and that crisp quality that makes me fall in love with the VO of other games such as BG3 and another game I can't remember at the moment (imma look it up in a sec).

Pascqal perfectly in character as to how a Magos of the Adeptus Mechanicus would talk to normal human, the mchanicus usually speak Lingua-technisspeaks with each other which akin to binary in computer, yes the mechanicus are not normal human, they are more machine than human, their mantra is "the flesh is weak" after all.

It's okay. It won't win any awards that's for sure. I also believe some of the voice actors have previously done things like.. mobile games?

Some of the character voices aren't great mad male. Some are god Tier like the Heretical Female. I think out of the Companions Jaes is the worst as her accent floats all over the place without any consistency as I'm not sure if she is faking it or if the voice actress is drunk. Serious Jae floats between, French, German, Irish, and a sort of Caribbean vibe at seemingly random in the same paragraph it's rather off putting.

That is possibly the dumbest thing you could have said. Makes you look very, very stupid considering my account is public. All your opinions can rightfully be discarded off hand at this point.
