Wink Bad accents
Small matter - just came to mind.

Some of the characters in the cutscenes speak with accents that are more comical than anything else. I'm speaking specifically about the Vizier's pseudo-Romanian-Count Dracula impression.

But is it that atrocious? Not really.
Does it spoil my gaming experience? Not in the least.
Is it worth reallocating $$$ from game development just to hire professional Hollywood voice actors for cutscenes people will eventually end up skipping? Heck No!

I just felt like mentioning it, that's all.

Vizier? what about the Dwarves' "hispanic man trying to sound scottish" accent.

good pointless point BTW and this isn't a suggestion.

I turned off everything but battle sounds ages ago. The voice acting and music in Guildwars is horrible.

Heh... even when I have my sound on I don't even listen to this guy. He put me through so much hell during Beta with all his charging into battle before I could catch my breath. His voice falls on deaf ears...

Agree with the OP lol... weirdest thing to me is how king Jalis and his bro have completely different accents.

i still have yet to hear a single sound this game makes

muted it the first time i started the game and loaded up winamp in the background

sounds are entirely unnecessary in this game
