Sammael's NWN2 Experience

[Tigranes]

But then, you coudl get some crazy multipliers with the Assassin. Nothing beats the BG experience where you sneak in with your thief, backstab x6 CHUNK that baatezu then run out with boots of speed as the fireballs come in.

 

Then the said Assassin would sit around while the rest of the party fights.

I have only comment to make tonight: Grobnar has THE most annoying voice of any game character I have ever heard.

Have you never played the NWN expansions?

 

Pound for pound, the NWN2 epilogue voice is the worst in the game.

While Grobnar was a little annoying, he doesn't even come close to the bard in ToEE (Zaxis?). When I ran across that character I almost uninstalled the game then and there and he was completely optional (only appearing in a random encounter I think and if declined there would never be seen again).

 

I still have nightmares...

Assassins were awesome in TOB. x7 Backstab modifier + UAI + Mislead scroll = fun! "

Poor Grobnar. I think he's quite funny, in small doses, and his humming isn't bad. It would have been an easy decision on the part of the voice director to get the actor to reinterpret the character, but I'm glad they left it the way it was. I thought most of the voices in the game were really good. It's only the guards at the manor - "There's an ill wind tonight, Weatherley..." that made me cringe.

[Tigranes]

The only really bad voices I remember are the epilogue / Highcliff battle narrations, the guards at the Manor, and possibly Qara was a little grating. Grobnar isn't that bad at all IMO.

 

But then, Sammael hasn't heard the narration yet, has he?

Zaxis and Grobnar, 2 annoying bards for different reasons.

 

Zaxis was badly badly badly voice acted. Just horrible.

 

Grobnar, on the other hand, is annoying precisely because the voice actor did a great job. Grobnar isn't always annoying, but there are many times where I just want to strangle that annoying gnome (like whenever he does his 'battle cry'). When he was [being vague to avoid spoilers] pretending to play an instrument, but really whistling, I wanted to stab him in the throat and say 'pretend to play now'. You can't get under someone's skin like that if you suck as a voice actor.

 

Luckily for me, I play a bard and usually never have him. He uses his bard songs when I tell him not too (bad AI, bad bad!), which is annoying for a total other reason.
