Can we just appreciate that not only did Shadowheart's voice actress record all these spells and variations, but that every other origin character and hireling did too in case you switched their class to use any spell? (This doesn't even include enemy VAs) That is pure dedication
It's honestly one of my favorite parts of design in this game. Even if this game was sub-part, which it certainly isn't, I still would put it in my top 10 JUST because of that. It shows how immersive & dedicated Larion is with themselves as a company & more.
@@greyngreyer5 I mean, hearing Wyll scream 'Arde' is pretty damn good. Playing without headphones, when I first started the game I would only hear 'Arde' when he cast _hellish rebuke._ I thought he was screaming 'How dare you!'. It hyped me up big time lol.
@@Thatwalrus27 ain't that the truth. The circlet of intelligence helps a lot tho. I don't know if that spell is cast with intelligence or wisdom, but that could also be a factor for it failing so much.
The pronunciation is not that bad, but being selective with a specific letter being pronounced according to the Classical Pronunciation while completely ignoring all of the other ones is weird. The "V"s, for example, were pronounced according to the Ecclesiastical Pronunciation (a voiced labiodental fricative) instead of the correct pronunciation according to the Classical Pronunciation (which would be a voiced labial-velar approximant). Considering the context of the game, they were probably aiming for the Classical Pronunciation, there are a lot of corrections to be made -- but in reality, it's totally fine and understandable that the voice actors didn't get an immaculate pronunciation of Latin, but it is weird to see people saying how they are glad the VAs pronounced "c"s as a voiceless velar plosive rather than a voiceless palato-alveolar affricate.
10:59 A little note of caution here. “Est” (he/she/it is) is the third-person conjugation of “esse,” (to be). You’re looking for the second person conjugation, which is “es.”
@@Ed.07 would you be willing to share which ones are wrong and fix their translations? i love these kinds of videos, but i care more about the authenticity of the language
@digitaljanus Is that a thing English-speaking people are taught. At school, as well as in University (I'm a Biology major, so Latin pronunciations were kind of an important thing to learn), we just pronounced the Vs as... well, Vs. For example, the plant Vinca Minor is pronouced: VEEN-CUH MEEN-OR.
they did a colossal job in this game, and the idea of following the tradition of BG1 and 2 of using Latin for spells is the icing on the cake. I can only imagine the agony of voice actors having to read and shout phrases in Latin when their native language is English. and I tell you that it is not easy or immediate even for us Italians, and pronunciation errors are easily forgivable. I'm happy to read in the comments how much the sound of Latin is appreciated and I tell you that if pronounced correctly it's even better❤
Honestly, yes some of them would really sound a lot better if pronounced corectly. That being said, I swear I prefer the butchered version for a few :)))
Thinking about all those actors recording all these lines, the animations that accompany each spell (both the character movements and the look of the spell itself) AND the super cool sound effects that each spell makes….all this shows such an incredible attention to detail, that really pays off. It creates so many moments during combat that feel so epic and satisfying. All the actors did such a great job in their performances, these lines are just one of the many ways in which their talent shines! Shadowheart and Wyll’s actors are particularly memorable for me with their readings of these spells!!
As someone from Latinoamerica with spanish as their first language, this is all a bit funny to me. For example the spell Lesser Restoration in latin is "Te Absolvo" and in spanish that would be "te absolvo" exactly the same. Also works with a bunch of other spells, "te curo" is also the exact same words and spelling as in spanish. Imagine getting caught off guard on your first playthrough when i was like ARE THEY SPEAKING SPANISH? later to realize it was latin. But hearing Astarion telling me he absolves me every morning curing my bloodlessness, i enjoy.
Been thinking about it, but it remains to be seen honestly. The structure of the video is done, so I would only have to get the voice lines but it takes a pretty long time to sort the ability voice lines out from the regular ones. This whole video took me around a month so currently just taking a break :))
@@Mr.Otter1 gotcha. i was looking around on reddit on how to extract sound files from this game and it seemed hard, especially because the files aren’t named and put in order so I completely understand!!
@@hawwquinn Oh, the process itself is not hard at all, but yeah it's a lot to sort through. The extractor unzips over 100k voice files and they are named something like v3ef456....etc and you have to find your character then listen to them.
Interesting how in the Unused section they have a bunch of chants from the first two games, like the Vita Mortis Careo that gets burned into your brain by playing those games. Also it seems that some in the unused section actually fit existing spells (e.g. shatter and circle of death specifically)
Oh, nice! I didn't know those were from the first two games. Yeah, I'm guessing they had them planned for existing spells and just ended up using something else. Also for some spells, not a lot but a few, there are A LOT of different takes. Like in game you hear 3 variations but in the files you have 10 or 11 for some all with different accents and intonations. So I guess they are just leftovers. I do have like 3 or 4 more chants from the unused section that I did not include cause they were extremely short with 1 word and kinda hard to translate.
"Cave circulum" / "Avoid the circle" was probably meant for the spell "Magic circle" which didn't make it ingame. From the wiki: 3rd-level abjuration Casting Time: 1 minute Range: 10 feet Components: V, S, M (holy water or powdered silver and iron worth at least 100 gp, which the spell consumes) Duration: 1 hour You create a 10-foot-radius, 20-foot-tall cylinder of magical energy centered on a point on the ground that you can see within range. Glowing runes appear wherever the cylinder intersects with the floor or other surface. Choose one or more of the following types of creatures: celestials, elementals, fey, fiends, or undead. The circle affects a creature of the chosen type in the following ways: The creature can’t willingly enter the cylinder by nonmagical means. If the creature tries to use teleportation or interplanar travel to do so, it must first succeed on a Charisma saving throw. The creature has disadvantage on attack rolls against targets within the cylinder. Targets within the cylinder can’t be charmed, frightened, or possessed by the creature. When you cast this spell, you can elect to cause its magic to operate in the reverse direction, preventing a creature of the specified type from leaving the cylinder and protecting targets outside it. At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the duration increases by 1 hour for each slot level above 3rd. Spell Lists. Cleric, Paladin, Warlock, Wizard
8:10 quod dico face sounds like what my Tav says when he casts telekinesis I love this video. The Latin incantations are a big part of what makes spellcasting fun. Halsin is mute even when casting spells in my game 😢
I don't know if this has been commented before, but the unused voice lines consisting of three words (like Manus, Potentis, Paroare) are used like in BG1&2 and Icewind Dale, they only said three words, depending on the school of magic.
i noticed the BG2 chants among the unknown/unused ones. and here i thought they only went to the extra effort of recording new chants. nope, they went to the extra extra effort of recording new ones, AND old ones.
Well it's kinda too late :)) Didn't do it because a lot of spells reuse voice lines and it would have taken a long while to list all of them correctly on top of how much it took to put all of this together in the first place. Now, since I did look through all the spells in-game while making the video, I do know most/almost all of them and where the voice lines play. At least I hope I remember. So if you want to know a specific one in particular, let me know.
I wanted to do that at first, but a lot of spells share the same voice line and that would have added like so much more time to research every one. I was already burnt out when finishing it. Sorry.
@@deathmetalparrot172 Yup. And I also find it strange how you cannot isolate these voice lines from the game settings. It will still leave the sfx from the spells in.
Yeah, I think the only lines I understood from the whole game was "IGNIS!" and "AMICUS ANIMALES". But this video showed a lot of stuff I could understand as a portuguese speaker.
I'll be updating this with my favourites hehe. 1:01 man this is so hard to pronounce 2:10 I love how harsh it sounds 4:26 Death and strength summons sound softer somehow 5:00 I finally know what it means All of them did such a wonderful job, but Astarion, Gale and Shadowheart's VA absolutely nailed it.
8:11 Actually, the line should be a bit different, since "facere" has a special property. In its imperative form, it is one of few words to be contracted to just its root, which is..."fac". This is also why I think that they changed it lol. (This also applies to "dicere" turning it into..."dic". In German schools, it is common to teach these irregular words as the mnemonic "Dic, duc, fac, fer", which is just peak funny to me.
I didn’t realize that “inflict wounds” spell’s verbal component is literally just “DIE” in Latin xD l. That’s so badass considering how hard the spell hits
@@Mr.Otter1 I’m not an expert in Latin, I grasped some of it from my Religious Studies courses in college. I just used a dictionary for that particular one.
"Fiat Lux!" And "Incende!" Are also from Realms of Arkania spell incantations, and sound juat as cool. There's also "Venti voco!" which means "I call the Wind."
Some of the unused lines are from the previous games. I kinda wish they kept them as a nod. Some of the others also could have been for cut spells like cat's grace and owl's wisdom.

That’s cool! Some words I kinda knew since some latin words sound the same in Spanish except latin has that flair. Wait is that why we’re called Latinos?
@@ruben6647 Sorry since this was a long time ago I don't remember how I did it. I do remember just searching up on how to do it online and came across a website where somebody had posted all the steps. If the archive is in .pak format you might want to give Game Extractor a try or even with VGM assuming you know the format of the voice files. And then to listen to them Foobar2000 would likely work. I had to use an internet converter back then since I didn't know foobar was a thing.
I think she had a hell of a vocal coach for that latin pronunciation because it sounds very italian to me, lol. Also, as a portuguese speaker, I could understand a lot lf it.

I love the echo
@@arrynroyce72 Thanks! Was really debating whether or not to add it. But I do think it sounds better like this.
Wow, the enery with which these are vocalised!
I’m like a minute and a half in. But is she doing classical Latin pronunciation? Badass!
That’s cool! Some words I kinda knew since some latin words sound the same in Spanish except latin has that flair. Wait is that why we’re called Latinos?
How did you get this voices? I've got BG3 but the data is zipped in a .pak format. I'm interested in male voices too for using in my VTT RPG games.
@@ruben6647 Sorry since this was a long time ago I don't remember how I did it. I do remember just searching up on how to do it online and came across a website where somebody had posted all the steps. If the archive is in .pak format you might want to give Game Extractor a try or even with VGM assuming you know the format of the voice files. And then to listen to them Foobar2000 would likely work. I had to use an internet converter back then since I didn't know foobar was a thing.

I think she had a hell of a vocal coach for that latin pronunciation because it sounds very italian to me, lol.
Also, as a portuguese speaker, I could understand a lot lf it.
AD MORTEM INIMIC- Ops, wrong game my bad

Rolling the Rs and pronouncing C as K. This pleases me.
Me reciting back my mum's shopping list after my Latin orchestra:
as someone who studied latin the accent is actually pretty on point
can you do this for Tav 8 Female?
She rolls her R's so good
