Voice 5 sounds so exhausted, like he has absolutely hit his limit already and it's everything he can do to react. Somebody let that Tav take a nap, poor guy.
Seeing as that's the voice they used for the Dark Urge's intro speech, I think it's safe to assume that it's his canon voice, which would explain why the poor guy sounds so tired. : (
Can I still change my Tav's voice after playing for 30 hours? I feel the need to switch to voice 8 to properly reflect my... I mean her feelings for Karlach.
Out of all the voices Voice 1 was the best male voice for me. Especially the calls for Karlach and Wyll really hurt me. Tav V1 sounds absolutely desperate, flabbergasted even that he might lose them. The panic rising in his voice makes my heart ache. Voice 8 was a very good female voice for losing companions. But I think what won me over was especially her call her Karlach. That call especially like Karlach is just far enough away where Tav can’t reach her-can’t save her after promising she’d do everything she could to save her from Avernus only to be taken out by some villain.
Hearing all of these back to back, I had this horrible image of Tav coming back to camp after running an errand and finding everyone slaughtered. They drop whatever they're carrying and run from one corpse to another, desperately hoping to find some signs of life, thinking "I wasn't gone for that long! How did this happen?!" and casting Speak with Animals to try and get something out of Boo, the only survivor. Alternatively, I can see a bard telling a very short story about this ugly battle: "Once there was a bad adventurer. They were so bad that everyone died! The end."
When I heard my Tav scream for Karlach, I was sooo surprised Also the fact that we just started a relationship, made me think in this direction. To put it briefly, I was pleasantly surprised. I thought it happened because of relationship, because in Goblin Camp when we fought hobgoblin no one screamed no one's names when they were downed.
My Durge uses voice 4. She's a monk who tried repressing her thoughts and emotions in a failed attempt to gain control over herself. Anyways, these lines really fit someone who is finally shattering after a lifetime of unspeakable horror and repression. Edit: So I finished this playthrough a while ago and she was romancing Karlach. She respected her decisions to not return to hell. Anyways, 1:48 is leaving me the shattered one now.
Voice 8 my godsdamn BELOVED!!! Voice 3 is my favorite of the masc voices but voice 8 doesn't fuckin' MISS, absolute mvp, literally never get tired of it in my playthrough
As a Gale fan and user of voice 4, I'd say that it fits perfectly for character romancing Gale. It feels so broken and shocked when it comes to "Gale, no!"
I have voice 8 for my tav and I LOVE IT AGGHHHHHH. Whenever Karlach or Halsin are downed MY HEARTTTTT. Especially since I’m romancing Halsin and JDKEXUHEIS
one of the aspects i love so much about this game is even though it’s all the same lines the actors perform it so differently!! especially noticeable when you see the difference between fem sounding guardian and male guardian
I fell in love with voice 3 after picking it for my good guy-Durge on a whim (I had already used voice 5 for my first ever Tav). I love how voice 3 sounds like he's the heroic protagonist of some fantasy/80's sword and sorcery flick worrying over the safety of his beloved companions.
Voice 8 is fantastic!! S-tier voice acting, and it enriched my Tav with such personality that I would find myself investing a lot more into the roleplay aspects than I expected, even outside of cutscenes! I still like to explore for little secrets or sneak around just to hear the unique voicelines. Like, "Does this count as adventuring...?" Or "Survival is *all* that matters!!" 😁 I will definitely make a dnd character inspired by my Tav & always imagine them with this wonderful voice. Even though I can't replicate it with my own voice... 🤔
The Tav in my first/main run uses Voice 7. Was fighting Raphael in Act 3 and Karlach - who I had built to be a tanky Wild Heart Barb (Bear Hart damage resist go brrrr) and was romancing in that run - actually went down for, I think, the first time ever. Hearing him scream out like that really added to the moment. Made it really easy to visualize the fear of Karlach dying there in the Hells she had worked so hard to escape from, the regret at being the one to bring her back - even though she had agreed to coming along, and the anger at Raphael for daring to hurt her. Lovely stuff. And I mean, yeah, used Hope’s Divine Intervention to get everybody healed up and revive her within a round, so ultimately low stakes, but still.
I love all the voices, Lynsey's (Voice 2) "All is well that ends... not as bad as it could have" is one of my favorite lines. But here I would say 1 and 8
Voice 7 was what I had on my durge and I definitely think he gave the best performance out of the masc voices. Voices 8 was for sure the best of the fem voices
You can just imagine this as the tragic final battle as your companions hold off and fall to the Absolutist horde to ensure you at least make it to the Netherbrain.
2:29 why is it sound more like voice5 is disappointed to Halsin :L (maybe the whole voice 5 as I hear it again) Also my fav part is of course voice 4 :D My heart melted when she screamed Karlach's name
I lost my first character to the Xbox bug right as we were about to climb the netherbrain so I just coped it as a TPK that my Tav avoided by using their Chronomancy abilities (Saving and Reloading lol) to reset the timeline at the cost of becoming the Dark Urge. Hearing this feels like losing each of them one by one
Voice 5 sounds so exhausted, like he has absolutely hit his limit already and it's everything he can do to react. Somebody let that Tav take a nap, poor guy.
I believe five is the canonical durge voice.
Because that's The Dark Urge, not Tav
my rancid blood whispers me: kill, kill, and kill again!
I like that he actually just sounds annoyed with Halsin, rather than emotional hahaha
Seeing as that's the voice they used for the Dark Urge's intro speech, I think it's safe to assume that it's his canon voice, which would explain why the poor guy sounds so tired. : (
I heard the "Gale, no!" A lot
He IS a wizard, after all.
I heard it so much I almost don't remember ever hearing the others lol
Yea even my Tav Durge (a durge named Tav) said Gale no!
And that's usually when I have Karlach throw Gale's soon-to-be necrotic body over to the enemy with the highest HP.
he always dies from 1d4 damage
OK BUT THE GUT-WRENCHING SCREAM VOICE 8 LEFT FOR KARLACH ?? SIS WAS IN SHAMBLES
I mean do blame her?
That's the voice I chose for my first Tav. Even more fitting because she's romancing Karlach XD
it's canon to me now, tav with voice 8 and karlach are besties. SAVE HER GIRL SAVE THAT TIEFLING
How Voice 8 screams KARLACH made me shiver
How everyone feels about Karlach. Your one job was to protect her at all costs...
i was like "okay it can't be that bad." i got to voice 8 and was just as you said, shivers.
I always have to use voice 8 if I'm romancing Karlach because of that. I'd react the same if the love of my life just died/almost died
Can I still change my Tav's voice after playing for 30 hours? I feel the need to switch to voice 8 to properly reflect my... I mean her feelings for Karlach.
I love voice 8 so much. She understood the assignment
all the common lines have so much more character with voice 8
💯
voice 8 was the first one i ever used for my first playthrough and it remains my absolute favorite
Honestly, it's my go to femdurge voice, look up the orin revelation scene with voice 8, absolutely amazing
The best one in my opinion
Out of all the voices Voice 1 was the best male voice for me. Especially the calls for Karlach and Wyll really hurt me. Tav V1 sounds absolutely desperate, flabbergasted even that he might lose them. The panic rising in his voice makes my heart ache.
Voice 8 was a very good female voice for losing companions. But I think what won me over was especially her call her Karlach. That call especially like Karlach is just far enough away where Tav can’t reach her-can’t save her after promising she’d do everything she could to save her from Avernus only to be taken out by some villain.
Voice 7 is also good for the same reason
Voice 8 is what I used for my dark urge and it fit so well. And don't quote me but I think dark urge has unique lines.
@@catandrobbyfloresHe has idle voicelines when you pick him and when it's his turn in combat
@@Hoontermeow I meant ALL dark urges not just default
@@catandrobbyflores that's what I meant, they all do

The Minsc ones having us swear to save him to his hamster really is something lol i love that sm 😂
Minsc and Boo are definetely the best companions imo
Voice 7 for Karlach sounds more like she knocked over and smashed his favourite antique vase or something
this is genuinely so funny 😭
Thats what i kinda though too. He sounds disapointed in her 😅
When I heard my Tav scream for Karlach, I was sooo surprised
Also the fact that we just started a relationship, made me think in this direction. To put it briefly, I was pleasantly surprised.
I thought it happened because of relationship, because in Goblin Camp when we fought hobgoblin no one screamed no one's names when they were downed.
Yup, I think you have to have a positive relationship with them. Doesn't have to be romantic though.
@@20storiesunderCorrect
Voice 1 is the shonen protagonist of these honestly. Voice 4 is like the protag but after they've been broken irreparably
THAT IS EXACTLY IT
#8 crying out for Karlach is so heart-breaking, easily my favourite voice.
4:07 whoever did voice 8 put their whole heart and soul into those screams man, literal chills
Tina Barnes did a great job as Tav 8
Don't forget about Wyll! She did a fantastic job shouting her grief in the microphone for the two coolest, hottest, war-buddies of BG3.
Voice 4 and 8 gave me chills. voice 1 was really well done as well but I didn't get chills.
It's just so tired and weary.
voice 4 have most emotion out of femvoice imo
All of voices 1, 4, and 7, and when voice 8 screamed for Karlach, Wyll, and Halsin made me fight not to cry. 😭😭😭
My Durge uses voice 4. She's a monk who tried repressing her thoughts and emotions in a failed attempt to gain control over herself. Anyways, these lines really fit someone who is finally shattering after a lifetime of unspeakable horror and repression.
Edit: So I finished this playthrough a while ago and she was romancing Karlach. She respected her decisions to not return to hell. Anyways, 1:48 is leaving me the shattered one now.
I use voice 4 for my ranger rn
Lmao the Halsin line at the start gave me big Snake? SNAKE! vibes
Glad I'm not the only one who noticed
Voice 7 and 8 went absolutely nuts, probably the best voices in the game imo
Voice 8 my godsdamn BELOVED!!! Voice 3 is my favorite of the masc voices but voice 8 doesn't fuckin' MISS, absolute mvp, literally never get tired of it in my playthrough
As a Gale fan and user of voice 4, I'd say that it fits perfectly for character romancing Gale. It feels so broken and shocked when it comes to "Gale, no!"
the emotion in voice 4 is just perfect
This probably has been said a million times but god DAMN these actors go so hard
how voice 8 screams "KARLACH" 😭🥺 i'm in tears

Man Voice 8 goes HARDDDDDD
Picking my voice for my Karlach-loving Tav purely based on which one of these sounds most devastated over her. Its 6 definitely 6
Nah 8 is the Karlach lover for sure
giving my tav voice 8 and having her romance karlach is the best decision thanks to this, i get to cry a lot now
Voice 1 and Voice 8 have given me trauma
BY THE GODS NOT LAE'ZEL! in voice 4 is so familiar to me by now because fucking lae'zel is always the first one to go down.
I was kinda disappointed that there weren't any really deep voices for my Half-orc but I can't imagine my Tav without voice7. Its so good
Great work, as always!! ♥️ My favorites are number 1 and number 8. They sound the most passionate and desperate.
Voice 3 hurts my soul weirdly enough.. it’s the shaky breathing he has in some of the lines.
00:15 No, no KARLACH!
Voice 8 is miles ahead of all the other ones. Only one that really gave me the sense of someone watching their friend or loved one die.
Would you consider doing the Durge "edgy" voice lines?
I have voice 8 for my tav and I LOVE IT AGGHHHHHH. Whenever Karlach or Halsin are downed MY HEARTTTTT. Especially since I’m romancing Halsin and JDKEXUHEIS
Idk why i like voice 3, its kinda cool
At first I thought it said "turned down by companions." Our poor Tav, getting no relief...
I've heard voice 8 Karlach a few times and it always sounds so good. Especially with a romanced path.
Voices 1,4,5, and 8 are spot on xD
Tav 8 can only ever romance Karlach I don't make the rules
one of the aspects i love so much about this game is even though it’s all the same lines the actors perform it so differently!! especially noticeable when you see the difference between fem sounding guardian and male guardian
Great compilation! In future, would you consider doing a compilation of the characters casting spells? Love to hear all the spell casting dialogue. 😊

1:40 is imprinted into my brain, i've heard it far too many times lol
It makes me laugh so much that they all have these emotional lines, the for Wyll it’s literally just “WYLL”
man the players voice actor's are really underrated
Voice 8… rent was DUE
The Tav in my first/main run uses Voice 7. Was fighting Raphael in Act 3 and Karlach - who I had built to be a tanky Wild Heart Barb (Bear Hart damage resist go brrrr) and was romancing in that run - actually went down for, I think, the first time ever.

Lovely stuff.
And I mean, yeah, used Hope’s Divine Intervention to get everybody healed up and revive her within a round, so ultimately low stakes, but still.
I chose voice 4 for my Tav
I always play with voice 7 and hearing that "GALE, NO" always makes my heart break a bit.
No matter what voice, hearing "By the gods, not Lae'zel!" always sounds a bit comedic to me for some reason lmao
These are all SO good, so emotive! Talk about goosebumps
I love all the voices, Lynsey's (Voice 2) "All is well that ends... not as bad as it could have" is one of my favorite lines. But here I would say 1 and 8
Voice 7 was what I had on my durge and I definitely think he gave the best performance out of the masc voices. Voices 8 was for sure the best of the fem voices
I just love voice 7 so much, the karlach line hits
Tav 8 will be always my favorite Tav voice 🥹
Voice 5 is lovely for a more sarcastic Tav. That VA is thoroughly underappreciated.
Voice 4>>>
voice 1 is superior
Voice 5 is Durges main voice, isn't it?
You can just imagine this as the tragic final battle as your companions hold off and fall to the Absolutist horde to ensure you at least make it to the Netherbrain.
Ngl I played a Voice 7 Barbarian recently and the combination of him shouting out for Karlach and immediately Raging afterwards goes hard asf
Hearing most of these is completely new because I have a bad habit of drawing out fights because I just refuse to let anyone in my party get downed.
"Halsin? HALSIN!!!" kind of reminds me of "Snake? SNAAAAAAAKE!!!"
I will, one of my Tav has voice 8 and the way she screams "Halsin? Halsin!" Always hurts my heart a bit
Voice 3 enjoyer here.
Is it me, or 7 screams at Karlach like he is mad at her?
exactly what i thiught but when you think of it in a way he also sounds more so angry that Karlach was killed rather at her.
For me personally, the 5th voice is the best,just the best voice for the male Tav and Dark Urge.
voice 7 and 8 are the best in my personal opinion
the way voice 4 Tav screams Shadowheart is really sad and genuine tbh
"By the gods, not Lae'zel"
I heard that one alot.
Tho I must say i was suprised first time I heard my tav shout out when the companions got downed
2:29 why is it sound more like voice5 is disappointed to Halsin :L (maybe the whole voice 5 as I hear it again)
Also my fav part is of course voice 4 :D My heart melted when she screamed Karlach's name
1 was my original Tav, but I’m planning on having each voice make an appearance for different runs
I lost my first character to the Xbox bug right as we were about to climb the netherbrain so I just coped it as a TPK that my Tav avoided by using their Chronomancy abilities (Saving and Reloading lol) to reset the timeline at the cost of becoming the Dark Urge. Hearing this feels like losing each of them one by one
Calm down tav, you got like 12 revify scrolls
Voice 7 for male half orcs is just so good. Using it for my current lad.
Would love a comp of all the origin characters reacting to companions going down. Cause Karlach has some sadly funny lines
Voice 1 sounds like hes about to do cpr
Okay but nobody is talking about voice 7?!?? He did so well and it felt like they were actually reacting to someone dying l
I've been looking everywhere for this thank you!
Voice 4 is my favorite. Also, why does it seem Tav cares most for Jaheira? Like she’s the only one you say “I’ll save you, I swear!”
By the gods not Lae'zel I have heard this line so many times
Would be super cool if we got all voices when Orin imitates them, end Durge run!
Thank you for your hard work! ❤
I LOVE voice 8 so much
y’all are sleeping on voice 2 imo, but all of them are spectacular
Damn i love voice 2 as it sounds similar to eunie from XBC3, but voice 1 and 8 got that extra pizzaz. Astounding work.
i just got the voice 8 cry of "WYLL" and i was just horrified :')
Voice 1, 4, 5 and 8 were the best. My favorite is voice 1 soo much emotion
i never played with a voice 8 but now i think i need to 😂😮
"Jaheira - I'll save you, I swear!"
I am in agony
All of these are killing me, good gods.
Honestly i know its normal to die in a combat but i always have the same reaction whenever they are downed.
1 5 and 7 are my favorites
Now to do companions reacting to each other. (They have unique lines for Origins)
WYLL! In tav 1 is so good
Voice 1 and Voice 8 are the BEST
Minthara bit is from a scrapped Act 3 romance
You can kinda tell which companions are favored by which vas
