pikea1 Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Please, for the love of Gaun, give the voice actress that portrays Ydwin (as well as the story narrator) some coffee!!!!!! The truth is not the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wormerine Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 What with people and hate? She does great job. Fantastic, athmospheric narration. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achilles Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I don’t question the use of Ashley. I do question the amount of narration they opted for. I do question the decision to use her for anything other than narration. 2 "Art and song are creations but so are weapons and lies" "Our worst enemies are inventions of the mind. Pleasure. Fear.

pikea1 Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 I didn't mean to disparage Ashley in any way, it's just that her voice and cadence lulls me to sleep.... The truth is not the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starwars Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I have no idea who the voiceactor is or what she's done (she certainly seems well-respected) but yeah, I have a really hard time with her voice as used in Deadfire. At least for the narrator and Ydwin, don't know if she does any more.

At least for the narrator and Ydwin, don't know if she does any more. I don't really know her outside Deadfire. I just really really enjoy her narration. Like Ydwin as well, though I find it difficult to seperate her from the narrator (unlike Matt Merces whose Aloth&Eder never clashed for me). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pikea1 Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 I loved her as Ellie, it's just something about her voice in this game that gets to me. To each his/her own I guess The truth is not the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkathellar Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 The next Fig Campaign will have a stretch goal to resurrect Orson Welles to use his voice for narration. Nobody could sound bored like Orson Welles. Yea, we will have the most bored-sounding of all narrators! 2 If I'm typing in red, it means I'm being sarcastic. But not this time. Dark green, on the other hand, is for jokes and irony in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody could sound bored like Orson Welles. Yea, we will have the most bored-sounding of all narrators! "I play a planet. I menace somebody called Something-or-other. Then I'm destroyed."- Orson Welles In fairness I think Welles would have loved game narration. But I'd get a kick out of Obsidian getting someone like Maurice LaMarche (Who does Welles impressions.) to do some voice work. I KNOW SAWYER UNDERSTANDS THESE REFERENCES OBSIDIAN!

Parasol_Syndicate Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Meanwhile, I adore Ashley as Ydwin, but abhor her as narrator. It's a lonely road.It helps that she's the only Ydwin I know, but the first game had a better narrator. 4 Magran's fire casts light in Dark Places...

Boeroer Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 That's just because she's a woman. Since your mommy is a woman, too (I assume) and she always told you what to do until you had the balls to move out but still did your laundry you now feel patronized when listening to a female narrator. ... Nope, I'm not serious. 2 Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manveru123 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 But Leia is basically a Jesus. Have you watched the latest mainstream movie? You can not say no to Jesus! Aaahh-men! I don't think Ydwin was supposed to be giddy and cheerful. She's an emo vampire. She is supposed to sound like she does. Very good job from the VA, in my opinion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
