spirit of carnan
Why in the world does the spirit of carnan have to sound so godd*mn ridiculous? I literally have to skip cutscenes with the voice in it or turn down volume when you cant.

The voice acting is phenomenal, I personally really enjoy the way the Toks voices the character. As others have said it gives her an otherworldy feel.

So much more Tolkeinesque than the Orcs, I find it hilarious people are whining about Carnan's voice but they are ok with orcs who all talk like cartoon villains and henchemen with terrible accents from the 80s, I swear I expected one of them to reveal his evil plan to steal the Power Sword from He-Man (or let him know he can save 15% in just 15 minutes with Geico)

Toks made one of the most memorable characters of Shadow of War, long after I've forgotten about Etariel or Baranor or any of the other side characters ill remember Carnan.

^ Pretty much this...

Also considering Carnan's apart of the world's cycle itself in some descriptions, it does make sense for them to talk in a more outdated, 'Old English' as "thy find it befitting", consdering Tolkein takes inspiration derived from certain areas of the world itself.

Like, doesn't the title hint at it enough? Our planet's called Earth, his region he based it on is called Middle-Earth essentially...


Tbh I think Monolith managed to give the Orcs more character than Tolkein originally did, especially the social-structure of Mordor's Orc Army in that sense, from simple "Kill this, kill that" types of Orcs to a type of Orc that relies brutally on Strength and has the threatening intellectual capacity of an average torturer of King Henry the Eigth...

Honestly,I have to admit that I was too busy thinking of banging her to notice her voice....

She talks more like Yoda rather than Ye Olde English (or maybe Yoda was Count from Galactic New Old England, who knows), but her voice is somewhat annoying.

Im with you on this one. It sounds so overdone. Like someone over-acting but with the voice.

Also agree, her voice is annoying to me AF and I can't listen to it.

it's not about the language or speech. in the first few carnan missions it just sounds like a highschooler massively overacting lady macbeth or something.

Would you rather have had the actor that plays Mr T to voice her? "I pity the fo-ol who goes out tryin' a' take over the spi-rit of car-nan, then runs home cryin' to his orc boss."

Whatever man, good voice over imo.
