Morgoth Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 Claudia Black is an Australian from Sydney, not a real french woman from Paris. So Maria Caliban talked nonsense then? So it's an OOOstrylian that tries too hard speaking like a French? Great! Rain makes everything better.
deganawida Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 Claudia Black is an Australian from Sydney, not a real french woman from Paris. So Maria Caliban talked nonsense then? So it's an OOOstrylian that tries too hard speaking like a French? Great! Claudia Black is an Australian from Sydney, famous for her role in Farscape, who provides the voice of Morrigan in Bioware's Dragon Age. I have no clue who the French lady is.
Hell Kitty Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 Things Hell Kitty does not know: * Whether Maria Caliban is confused or a teller of filthy lies. * Whether Claudia Black does a good French accent. * Whether he would be able to tell how good a French accent Claudia Black does. * Whether Claudia Black tries too hard when speaking in a French accent. * How hard too hard is.

Whipporwill Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 Passive voice can turn a rather banal sentence into poetry, if utilized right. I have never understood why so many American institutions are against it. It's a tool in the trade, so use it. It's called hypercorrection. Bad writers frequently write entire passages in passive voice. When told to not do this, they hypercorrect and avoid using it at all. Then they take it upon themselves to tell other people not to use passive voice, ever.
Maria Caliban Posted June 23, 2009 Author Posted June 23, 2009 Okay, there are two women talking in the video. One is Morrigan and the other is Leliana. Virumor mentioned both. My first paragraph was about Morrigan's voice actress, who is Claudia Black. My second paragraph was about Leliana's voice actress, who is a woman from Paris, France. "When is this out. I can't wait to play it so I can talk at length about how bad it is." - Gorgon.
Hell Kitty Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 I'll finally be able to sleep tonight. Thanks Maria Caliban!
HoonDing Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 The accent of the red-head is deliberate, it seems. She's from Orlais which may come from Orl The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
aries101 Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 I would never have guessed that Leliana's voice actor were from France. She does not speak with a French accent that I recognize - or maybe it is just because the only French accent I'm useed to hearing is the one of Maurice Chevalier? Or the French accents from the Disney movie Aristocats? Anyway, I think Morrigan's first voice actress was much better than the current one, much more deeper, much more mysterious than the current voice. It fitted her strong, wild character much better than the coy, girly voice she has now, I find. As far as the content of the marketing vidoes, I've sort of resigned. I still object to the idea of playing an elite soldier going around rallying support for the battele against the Blight. It is just as if Bioware spoke to Bethesda --- and became inspired by Oblivion. The same basic plot is in Oblivion as is in DA: Origins - defeat the ancient evil - gather troops - defeat ---- and so on. And why does everyone seem to think that blood, gore and sex (yes sex!) is = Mature...? Please support http://www.maternityworldwide.org/ - and save a mother giving birth to a child.

Or does that only apply to civil wars? :D As for blood, gore and sex, wasn't there more to them then just yay guts, yay naked people? And "somehow" mass media dumbed them down to blood and sex mature and eeeviiiiil, corrupting the childrens' soooouuuuls.

Yes, but I maintain hope that it will be possible to join the Uber Bad Guy and wipe out humanity from the face of the planet. Or even better, enslave them. That would be in line with the origin of the character I'm planning to play, the poor City Elf bride whose life was ruined by the cruel human overlords. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

Monte Carlo Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 ^ Dude, I know it's a big ask but would enslaving nations with one of the other schools of magic be acceptable. I'm aware that "Enslaving Nations with Abjuration" or "Enslaving Nations with Conjuring" don't quite have the same ring about them, but it might be the best you can hope for.

Aristes Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 Is it the same lame setup? Humans are more fertile/expansionistic/brutal/etc. Elves and dwarves are in decline. We have to decide whether to side with the human racists or with elvish treehuggers or some lame crap. Please tell me it isn't completely rehash.
