Opinions on the narrator

[Faultzone]

IMO, he is simply intoxicating to listen to.

I never get tired of this guy, for me he embodies the qualities that make me fall in love with darkest dungeon.

Every time I start a new game, I'm always torn to skip the intro cutscene, it sets the mood so good, I just want more.

how does everyone else feel?

[Supreme_Bananas]

Yeah the narrator is superb! Sadly there's only so much things he can say, and toward the end it really starts repeating

[Van Darkholme]

DD wouldn't be the same without that guy, couldn't imagine anyone else doin the narration, well except maybe the guy from Jacksons Thriller.
Would also like more soundfiles included. Let's see how the final iteration of this game will look like.

I could listen to that man narrate cooking instructions and still love it.

[Jokul]

I want him to read me bedtime stories.. oh wait

[Skye]

I read your post in his voice. Does that answer your question?

[josephdw106]

i would find it funnier if you could change his voice to say a british accent or maybe even a female voice! GPS has these enhancements would add some silly to the game for sure!

[Van Darkholme]

Hehe cookingwise - "The steak is kinda burnt, but a meal none the less..."

[Cadogan]

The name of the awesome narrator is Wayne June.

If you like his work, please feel free to let him know in a Tweet, I'm sure he would appreciate it!

Cheers

I could hear it now.

"The house will catch fire, with the slightest lapse in concentration."

"Baked with impunity!"

Darkest Dungeon narrator GPS.

When I listen to him, to me he is one of the best narrators of this style since Dungeon Keeper.
His voice is magically making The Darkest Dungeon experience very unique.
Dark, pesimistic when all hope is lost, but also heroic when it needs to be told. Make sure to hire him for all your future projects, for he is the person who has the tone for H.P. Lovecraft's art.

I wish I could make the Narrator shut up during combat. I am so tired of hearing "Mortality clarified in an instant" and other stuff that he keeps saying over, and over, and over, and over and over...

Otherwise yeah, he's great.

I hope you plan on allowing him to narrate everything
His voice is intoxicating

[Beast]

They should have him narrate the tech support FAQs for the finished game.

Q: My game randomly crashes, what do I do?
A: There is nothing wrong with your system. Your fragile mind has finally snapped, unable to comprehend the horrors which face it. Damnation is all that awaits you within the cyclopean vault that is your hard drive.

....also make sure your video card drivers are up to date.

I agree he needs a lot more variation for very common situations, especially crits as you say, but maybe also for victories, defeats, felled enemies and recruiting heroes.

A big, big variation tool would be more class specific narration, I'd think.


Other than that, in terms of sheer quality he's right up there with Portal's Glados, The Stanley Parable's Narrator and Bastion's Rucks. He's absolutely perfect and the game would not be the same without him.
