I have to concur with my colleague on that one. I have heard far far far worse voice acting than Mark Meer.

 

God, now there's two of them.

Suck it up if you like other aspects, or move on.

 

Obviously I do, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to occasionally voice my opinion about his performance. It's not like I go around complaining about it all the time, after all.

 

Still, don't think Meer was horrible. He got the point across for the most part. I think if he changed his tone a bit more, he would have hit a homerun. He's certainly not worthy of all the absolute hatred that goes his way.

 

I don't hate him; I don't even know him.

So have I, but not in a BioWare game. Not for a major character anyway.

NWN 1 character voice sets.

"ATTACK! I saaaaa~d ATTACK!"

 

Major characters, not minor voice sets for the PC. There's always a few bad extras here and there.

So I keep getting these psychic emanations that suggest that F:NV will feature Caesar's Legion as the main baddies and the PC will be an escaped slave of some sort.

 

Confirm / deny my psychic readings.

"Aribeth."

 

One of the best voice acting jobs ever.

 

You want to know a horrible BIO voice actor job? Stinkin' Deekin'. Horrid. Chalk on a blackboard horrible.

Aribeth was the most poorly voiced and poorly written character in any Bioware game. Deekin, on the other hand, rules!

Who? The NMA peeps. The RPGCodex freaks. Those types of people who haven't joined the 21st century of gaming yet.

edit: Actually that doesn't even work because at least lucas was able to **** up his own movies

I agree. It's always easy to bash 'the writing' and the 'VA', just because, well, it's easy. I have no qualms with, either, and I (still) think Mark Meer sounds suitably generic for the role, considering that he's acting a character that can basically look like anything within the sliders' limits.

You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

Why are we still talking about ME's voice acting? As if the game could be saved with better VA, or writing, or better combat, or a functioning inventory, or better characters or appealing gameplay or... etc. Well, actually having all these things might make it a decent game, but that's pure fantasy.

 

Its a western rpg simplified and dumbed down for the consoles so that every fat kid with room temperature IQ could play it, without such taxing things as a game over screen or text to read.

 

It would be a step above the gameplay horror that was the Jade Empire if the latter didn't have writing and a story that at least demand attention.

 

BTW its also an excellent argument against the "21st century of gaming".

Personally, I hate the Star Wars universe. The best thing to come out of Star Wars was KotOR 2.

 

I prefer Serenity/Firefly and Doctor Who (both old and new) over Star Wars.
