Though some think me mad, I always watch the cinematics and like most of the voice acting. Overall, I think that the best voice was myself- I mean, the male hero. I wish I sounded like that. The worst overall was, as much as I hate to go with the crowd, Either Danika or the ghostly hero. To go through it campaign by campaign...

Prophecies- The voice-acting was okay, but nothing to write home about. They seemed to try very hard to give every character a different accent, more so then necessary in my opinion. Confessor Dorian sounded believable as both the benevolent leader he seemed to be at first and the mad fanatic he was later shown to be. Ditto for Justicar Hablion, so the Mantle was generally well-acted. On the other hand, many of the generic and one-time minor characters were weak, Dinas chewed the scenery a bit, and the Ghostly Hero was painful. The voices didn't need to be outstanding, though, as the storyline was that good.

Factions- Generally weak. Emperor Angsiyan (the guy Shiro killed) and Suun the oracle were pretty good, and I actually liked Shiro's voice. To be fair, most of the dialog was pretty weak, and they didn't have much to work with. Danika was just painful, though.

Nightfall- Great, great, great. This was film-quality acting. Varesh was probably the best. This is probably going to sound like Bush-bashing, but I think the southern United States accent really worked. I think she was basing her preformance on Hablion. no-one was bad.

Eye of the North- Not enough cutscenes in this campaighn for the amount of talent. Not as good as Nightfall, but only just below. Pyre was the best, he sounded a lot like I imagined a Charr would. Gwen, however, was...not so good.

Bad - Vekk...i was expecting a Mogwai (Gremlins) and got Pinky and the Brain.

Worst - the same voice for all character classes. A Necro should sound evil, a Mesmer pompous, a Warrior gruff...you get the picture. The generic cut-scene voices just don't fit with all characters. Give us a selection of character voices like in Baldur's Gate / Neverwinter Nights and i'll be happy.

Best - get Bender, Fry and Zap Brannigan on board for GW2. Sweet, Sweet Candy...BAM!

Anyone who can make me prefer an english version of an anime just because of her voice is just full of grade A pure win (in this case FLCL, she does Haruko Haruhara's voice)

I <3 Kari Wahlgren. I am a big fan of quite a few animes in which she has worked (FLCL, Eureka Seven, Blood+, Bleach), especially the characters she plays in them (Anemone and Haruko are just pure win).

To be honest, I barely enjoyed any of the voice acting. It is not really a question of the voice but maybe it has something to do with the script.

One good example is at the end of Gate of Pain.
*SPOILER ALERT*

When they are talking about taking out a God. Dunkoro rejects the idea, thinks it's madness. Then his son shows up, talks to him, basically convincing him they should try. Dunkoro's mind completely changed in 30 seconds, he says something like "yes... yes... we should blah blah blah". The way he says "yes yes" makes me cringe every time. It's just really poor acting. But again, I think it's the setting too.

*END SPOILER*

The only time I really liked the voice acting was probably Devona's in the cinematic and Gwen's in the GWEN's trailer.

I forgot how good Prophecies voice acting was compared to Factions. I recently made a new ele.

Dwarves in Prophecies sound so awesome, to be honest I'm not that big on them in GW:EN. In Prophecies they just sound AWESOME! Go replay Borlis Pass and watch every cinematic. AWESOMENESS.

Also personally I don't hate Rurik's voice. It fits him to be honest. Adelbern sounded a bit too big and booming to be an old bag, in my opinion. Then again as a Level 24 who can kick Titan butt (do they have butts), maybe it does fit.
