If you didn't notice, the BG3 narrator is in DOS2 voicing Malady. Her names Amelia Tyler and she's been in a bunch of games. Her best roll imo is in Hellblade where she's front and center to the experience. I think she's a quality voice actor and well suited to dramatic roles.

The DOS2 narrator is better suited to this particular game however, as the writing is similar to a DM describing things to a players at a gaming table. His storybook style of narration fits really well, where a dramatic reading would sound off.

As for who is better? Hard to say as both styles have their place, however I prefer DOS2 because it seems like a more realised vision, with all the games aspects, narration included, complementing each other. BG3 is a bit creatively scattered on the other hand and doesn't make the best use of it's talent. I'm guessing Amelia Tyler is more expensive to hire too, so you get a lot less bang for your book.

ED: My mistake, the voice actor for Hellblade is Chipo Chung, not Amelia Tyler.

Personally, I prefer Amelia Tyler. She has that "smile while backstabbing" sort of voice and it fits SO well in most of the narration. Should look up her outtake videos, they're hilarious too. Basically just her going insane while recording.

That isn't to say the DOS2 narrator wasn't good, he was, I just feel like he fits better in a more comedic role than serious one. DOS2 had more silly moments, BG3 is darker and Amelia just fits the role better.

DOS 2 has multiple narrators.

Does it? I can think of only the one. Who’s the other?
