Ugh god, Danika. I was just playing Arborstone and she started to talk and...and...well.

She's freaking meant to be rich and pompous, but she sounds like one of the developer's daughters were wrangled into doing her role. It seriously sounds like she's 10 years old and likes to talk about her biggest crush and how cute her dress looks.

Totally misplaced.

Isn't she meant to be very open minded and welcoming to strangers and supporting the idea of an alliance, I didn't think she was meant to be a pompous character.

Sure the voice is annoying but it's meant to be youthful to represent a new generation of people to be open minded and setting aside old grudges to fight against a greater evil?

i couldn't agree more with this one.
but it isn't just his voice.
its his laugh as well.
he sounds like a clown when he laughs it needs to be tightened up, made deeper, or maybe its just may setting.

Danika, definitely! Her high-pitched voice is sooooo irritating, it is not suited to a character who is supposed to be nobility. I can't stand hearing her speak at all.

Elder Rhea looks and sounds like she's smoked about 50,000 packs of cigarettes, but that makes me laugh XD

Favorite voice: The voice for male players, makes us sound like badasses

Youthful... She's supposed to sound 22 years old, not 12.

Worst - Danika

Second worst - The female Canthan Pesant after you finish Naphui Quarter where shiro minions kills those two walking people.

third worst - little child at the end of Minister Cho's Estate.

Danika wins. I dont think Togo sounds that bad at all. Same with Mhenlo.

I think the fortune teller is supposed to sound wierd so it seems like shes crazy or something.

Absolutely. She's a dignified monarch-to-be, regally dressed and trained with poise and dignity and yet sounds like Minnie Mouse with constipation? Eeeeeeuuurgh...

Now I haven't played Factions, mind you, so I can't really comment. But like someone posted on the first or second page, in prophecies, hands downs, it's the voices of the Chosen! Can't recall, then load up the Divinity Coast mission (that takes you to Maguuma) and watch the cinematic at the end. Especially that male chosen! Wow, he sounds like a robot having pitch problems. I sincerely hope these were last minute fill-ins and not paid for this.
" EEE-oh no!!" (woman)
" Dwayna protect us!" (man)
" Please don't hurt us" (man)

I didn't mind Saidra but found it odd that she had a Jamaican accent...
"He dee-dent meet you out-side da tem-pole?"

I think a lot more attention was put into the voices for Nightfall. I can't really complain as almost all the voices fit the character's very well, imho. The only exceptions I can think of would be the Vabbian Prince, Ahmtur the Mighty (for a distinguished warrior, why make him sound like an 80 yr old english professor who forgot to insert his dentures?).
" Skreeeeeeeee Hahhh-pees"

Waiting for the obligatory "Thread Necromancer" MTG Card... or maybe they only do that at TGH.

The Seer - I mute my speakers whenever I have to listen to..."it"...talk.

Danika - Horrible, just horrible. Most forced voice acting I've ever heard.

Fortune Teller - "Beware...the harvest...ceremony!"

Danika's voice was by far the worst and most poorly chosen to suit the appearance and what seemed to be the royalty/stuck up personality of kurzicks...

As annoying as Togo was, his voice was pretty decently done and fit his character fine imo
