I was so happy to see him again in the expansion! That´s the kind of feeling I want to have for the characters in this game.
It doesn't really matter to me, if it´s handled well it works just fine with the character being voiceless. Giving him a voice seems unnecasery when the cost of doing that can go to something else in the game.
I loved Oghren, but in Awakening, his character was basically reduced to fart-jokes and retardation. I have no idea who wrote him in Awakening, but it was clearly not the same person that wrote him in Origins.
I know what you mean, the farting and vulgarity is only part of his charm, hehe. He was a great personality in the maingame. Still good to see him. Would love to have a bunch of followers in Infinitiy that have a hard time getting along, both in a serious and funny way.
