That would require the game to have a lot of bees. And I mean A LOT. Love that there are plans for a narrator, it really adds to the atmosphere, in my opinion. Plus, anything that improves the chances of a certain actor involved with the Polish version of the game for extra nostalgic value is awesome.

It has to be an old man! He has to sound like he has a long beard, too!! Not for me. Get Kelly Hu! Remember: Argue the point, not the person. Remain polite and constructive.

Have the narration being two people telling the story. Squabbling about "what really happened" etc. *chapter II intro* "The adventurers set out to find the cause of-" "Hey, aren't you forgetting something?" "Oh? Oh yes. The old crone. First they met the old crone." "The old crone of the swamp. There are many stories surrounding her." "Luckily, our adventurers dealt with her. No?" "Well, as I remember it-" *chapter II begins* Whilst I don't mind the 2 narrators idea (except from a budgeting perspective), I really dislike the past-tense narration for a game I'm playing. If it's not a flashback within the game then I want the "You awake to the realisation that last night was not a horrible dream" kind of 'it's happening now' narration. (Not counting "The Bard's Tale" (newer version) which used awesome narration to comic effect). 1 _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ *Casts Nature's Terror* , *Casts Firebug* , *Casts Rot-Skulls* , *Casts Garden of Life* *Spirit-shifts to cat form*

Past tense gives the impression of reduced agency in the goings on of the story, even if it practically makes no difference. Keep it present tense, please.

This was the first of many reasons why I hated (hate is a strong word by I think it's the right one) Dragon Age 2. I tried to persevere with it because, you know, I spent money on it, but I just couldn't get into it. I'm aware that other views are available. Just replaying BG2 and a narrator really adds to the immersion of the story. There is no 'rolling', only creation.
