Firstly, I'm just happy to see my bestie Dorian was in this game. Second, I'm glad the same voice actor from Inquisition reprised the role. And, omg, Ellen Dubin voiced a character too? She plays an awesome villain, Giggerota, in one of my favorite sci-fi shows, Lexx.😃
I know everyone is crapping on Neve but I liked it, not every person is super expressive or talk with sparkle or pizzazz…I’ve met many people that talk like her . I know in in the minority..
I thinks Neve’s voice really suits her personality. I like it. Bellara is a little OTT. She would have been my favorite character in a different setting. LOVE Ali Hillis, Brian Bloom and Gareth David-Lloyd!
There's a lot of strange accent issues in VG. Half the Dalish have different accents from each other- and I don't mean just regional differences, but different nationalities.
Neve's VA performance takes me out of the game many times even though I like and romance the character... I'm wondering if other language like French performance have the same problem?
@@yuhanma6205 As far as I know, there's only a French and German dub, all the other language versions uses the English cast and subtitled the battle lines.
@@yuhanma6205 French dubs tend to be... odd. I play with the original voices (same for movies, I always watch it in the original language with subs) because french dubs are from a very different school of thought. It tends to be very focused on cliché voices focused on giving trope pointers regarding the overarching nature of the character, rather than being unique to the character, if that makes sense? It also tends to be very flat as a result
@@GerrenBell The Game Director is a casual normie who only bothered to play Inquisition. Which is why the only returning characters are those that appeared in Inquisition. Doesn't even know who Zevran is.
I'm surprised by Bellara's VA performance, the character's lines are bad and personality type is done so many times by different media. But she's fine to listen to when the writing isn't bad.
And where is German and French Voice actors list? Ur english ones where anounced one month or more before Release. Even after release Theres no list for FR/D. Even when u hear the voices in this languages u cant identify typical fame voice actors on urself while playing.
“Some other better option” makes me cringe and no, it’s not Solas’s VA’s fault. He’s quite nuanced and realistic in his delivery. One of the better actors. It’s 100% the writers who can’t be concise or natural with their wording. “Some better option”, or “some other option” or “I had no other alternative”. Instead we got some clunky ass word salad. And don’t get me started on three different NPC’s saying the exact same thing “magical elven artifacts waking up” all within five minutes of each other.
That line stood out to me when I heard it but to me it seemed like the pacing and emphasis that was the issue. The subtitles have it as "Some other, better option" with a comma, which implies that he first wants to say "Some other option", but then stops to clarify that the option should be not just different, but better. A pause after "other" and more emphasis on "better" would make it sound completely natural imo
This line in the trailer made me go "eek." But I'm glad solas' dialogue got a lot better after that. He's my fave. In general, I think the writing got better after the first few missions. In the beginning it's particularly jarring
The ones who vote for GOTY are the woke journalists with an agenda. Not the real gamers. So it wouldn't surprise me that they already have a deal behind the scenes with Bioware.
Imagine being a voice actor on this turd. I love the Varric character, and they utterly destroyed him. The writing was middle school kid level at best. They completely stripped out any RPG elements. It's just an action game masked as an RPG. If that's not bad enough, you get lectured about how you should physically punish yourself for misgendering someone. Leave the identity politics out of fantasy RPGs, please. They're an escape from reality. My wife couldn't even make a feminine female. They all looked like muscled up lesbians. Just horrible. These voice actors did an amazing job. They're professionals. Unfortunately, the employees of BioWare are not.
So you... hated a game and actively searched for a video that's not even a review just to share your gripes? Pretty sure there are entire forums decidated to criticising Veilguard, you don't need to expose yourself to listening to the dialogue you hate so much.
Not being able to create a feminine character is a skill issue. I know the presets aren't very feminine but there is plenty of examples online of people making cutesy characters even, so look online if you need a bit of help/inspiration
I only came to see who endured spouting those cringe lines, I bet it paid well though, no hate on the voice actors but whoever wrote that stuff...those long back to back cutscenes, my gosh.
La gente protesta por genero y basura wok y mas.. pero para mi lo que rompió realmente el lore de DA es esta obsesión de alterar y de querer poner problemas raciales en el juego, no soy racista ni nada de hecho soy latino.. pero el juego empieze y no se vea un elfo negro y elfo asiático y ahora de repente todo el mundo es asiático, negro o latino… hay mi dios porque tanta obsesión de alterar los lores siempre.

The duality of Matthew Mercer, all in one vid 🤣
omg i didn't realize hawke's va played the first warden, i was too busy being filled with UNADULTERATED RAGE anytime i had to communicate with him
He sounds exactly like Hawke.
@@starsfalldown1234567 i know 😭 even more embarrassing that i didn't notice
he is!? wow i didn't notice either cause i too was too busy going 'THERE'S EVIDENCE RIGHT OUTSIDE YOUR WINDOW DUMMY' during that one mission.
Solas' voice actor is what suprised me the most.
Now I know why Hawke goes to Weisshaupt if he's spared... He becomes the 1st Warden LMAO...
Joseph Capp and Michelle Gomez did an amazing Voice as Elgar'nan and Ghilan'nain. !!!!!! Very Sinister especially Michelle's 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Something got messed up here:
6:51 - Morrigan - Joseph Capp
7:39 - Elgar'Nan - Jessica Clark
Brian Bloom has always been a great voice actor.
He was Dusty on the Soap Opera my mom watched back in the 80's
He is also Matt Horner from StarCraft 2, they even look alike.
@@Tito_michi
And he voiced the main character of the machine game Wolfenstein. His voice is poetic.

I talk like that, I can relate.
I am with you in that minority. I find that her voice match the personnality of a cynical somewhat jagged PI that she is suppose to be.
She is a bad voice actor, period.
@@enoughisenough4-d3h strictly your opinion… period
@@tedflaig7546 . No, she is objectively bad, that's why many people don't like her.
As soon as I heard Teia's voice, I immediately knew it was Sombra from Overwatch. Her voice is very distinctive.
wow, solas is the dude from torchwood
Really?You noticed the "Dude from Torchwood", but didn't notice the two Masters from "Doctor Who":)
@@TheWitver The Master!!!
@@zimnelredoran9985 Two Masters. Michelle Gomez and Sasha Dhawan
The mental image of Solas and Jack will haunt me forever, thank you.
@@nineblackgoats Add Merril there, because she was voiced by Eve Miles
I missed Kate Mulgrew! :(
I thinks Neve’s voice really suits her personality. I like it.
Bellara is a little OTT. She would have been my favorite character in a different setting.
LOVE Ali Hillis, Brian Bloom and Gareth David-Lloyd!
Ali Hillis and Gareth David-Lloyd are the stars of this game
Teia was a whiplash moment for me, having played about 700 hours of Raze
Zach Mendez even looks like Lucanis 😮
Gosh, the Antivan Crows and their gorgeous accent 🤭
I love that there are real people behind the characters! My favourite is Lucanis and in real life ... just wow!
Lmao, Mayor speaks with Loghain voice
Can we talk about how much Tim Curry-ness Joseph Capp is serving. Like put him are more villain roles please 😂😂😂
He plays True Soul Nere in Baldurs Gate 3, also a villain :)
Good luck to this crew of VAs❤. They did amazing work with such a modern script
No wonder why I liked Ghilan' nan
Solas voice actor is daddy AF
So is solas ❤
Simon Templeman (who plays Mayor Julius and Makal Damas in this) was Loghain in Dragon Age Origins - and Inquisition if he survives Origins!
I do like Bellaras voice actor she does really good job of conveying Bellaras emotions of all the char she is the sweetest :)
manfred and Viper, like WHAT
Claudia Black is very distinctive in her voice overs. You tend to automatically know her character when she talks
Amazing. Thanks
Holy shit I was just thinking Teia sounds an awful lot like Sombra from Overwatch...
Thank you for sharing this.
I swear the voice direction has greatly improved.
The voice acting in the game is an S-Tier+ with a gold star, absolutely incredible
15:31 wtf did they do to Dorian's face?! I know it's been 8-10 years, but damn. The awful pixar art style did him dirty.
He becomes Archon at the end so it balances out
I thought Elgar'nan VA was Liam O'Brien because he sounds like Illidan from WoW 😅 or maybe Joseph Capp took inspiration from him
Oh, no, the blasphemy, their voices are nothing alike.
I thought it was Ray Chase, compare it with Denathrius from WoW.
Annoyed that Maeveris doesn't have an accent like Dorian.
There's a lot of strange accent issues in VG. Half the Dalish have different accents from each other- and I don't mean just regional differences, but different nationalities.
Solas voiced by Ianto????
Solas is and has always been Welsh and although I don’t know who the Ianto you refer to is, Ianto is a very Welsh name.
@@dragonmummy1 Ianto is a character played by the same actor in the show Torchwood.
Yep. Quite different roles lol. Gareth is fantastic
And Merrill is Gwen.
as an overwatch player I would recognise those 3 voices anywhere
Interesting Voice Cast. Unfortunately the voice direction is very inconsistent in this game, especially for certain characters like Neve.
it was a huge loss for Bioware when they lost Caroline Livingstone as voice director

its almost like the character models were based on the voice acters to be honest
And Taash’s mother?
Ike Amadi also SEER from Apex Legends
and Javik from Mass Effect 3
Ianto!
Did they just recycle Illario's model for Elek or is it just me?
No Fenris!? 🥹

Not the game director.

I don't see the problem with that sentence in particular. I'm sure I've heard it used exactly like that several times before actually

Varric became the first companion who's officially dead😢
Actually it's Wynne in some novel.
Nah, Wynne have been dead long time ago before this.
