I don't see how someone that doesn't live or has ever traveled to Australia is expected to know that. So as to why you need to make some kind of smart ass post is beyond me.

Question!
Why is the blood/whatever on Hawke's nose in some scenes but not others?Does he smear it on on special occassions?

Sorry Errant, but I can't "forget" what I refuse to agree to in the first place. I think Jennifer Hale's voice very expressive voice acting for Shepard is excellent; it almost never conveyed something I didn't want (there are a couple of notable exceptions). The context-sensitive conversation wheel of DA2 should allow us to avoid selecting something we don't mean (a problem at times with Mass Effect), meaning that then there should be very few occasions of Hawke acting in a way that we don't expect. In other words, there's even more room here for varied voice-acting than in Mass Effect. If someone chooses a joking line, then there should be actual humour in the voice. (I found the poison/cake line witty - the delivery was just flat.)errant_knight wrote...
People who are complaining about Hawke's lack of emotion in his voice are forgetting just why PCs usually are voiceless and have minimal expression. It's so you can roleplay, hence 'roleplaying game.' If Hawke was emoting all over the place, we'd be forced into that particular characterization and we could count the different personalities we could make Hawke on one hand. Or less.

To be fair, the cake line was just a throwaway line to illustrate the game's sense of humor. We still have no idea what he will sound like when he's upset, passionate, emotional, etc. It's possible he will be great. Although I admit, I really liked his voice and thought the delivery was pretty good. Certainly better than the male Shepard. I do agree that Jennifer Hale was excellent.Estelindis wrote...

Hawke's voice is a placeholder, right?
Absolutely; I wouldn't claim otherwise. I'm only commenting on what we have so far.Tietj wrote...

We'll have to agree to disagree. It's not about what one expects, it's about what one is allowed to imagine. Mass Effect is extremely limited in that sense as the amount of variation possible between different Sheppards wasn't very great. It really wasn't what I was referring to--I don't actually consider it a roleplaying game.Estelindis wrote...

Let's do that. For the record (just to respond to what you said here), I felt one of the only things DA:O was missing in RPing terms was the voiced, named main character as in Mass Effect. Having people address my character by her actual name felt much more personal to me than plain old "Warden." (Initially I thought DA:O would take the "Shepard" approach when it made my elf a Tabris by default. It took me a while to figure out why only two of the Origins use one's last name much - only two of them make you famous enough for most people to know your name without difficulty.) I actually found the "Warden" thing especially glaring because Alistair was in my party all the time - either people are ignoring him by calling me Warden, or he gets named but I don't. It just broke my immersion. As for the voice, I find it makes my character feel more actively a part of the world (rather than this gaping, personality-free void that my silent Warden often felt like beside characters like Alistair and Morrigan - yes, I can fill in the blanks with imagination, but I can do that with *anything*, certainly including a fully-voiced game; if we're going to take the approach that giving us extra stuff stifles imagination, then Bioware might as well sell me an empty box and tell me to have at it).Modifié par Estelindis, 11 janvier 2011 - 05:01 .

I've heard Hawke's voice before, just recently. Oh my gosh, this is going to drive me crazy.

That may be a little difficult for Varric to pull off, given respective proportions.
Oh, oops... there I go off into Hopeful Land again. LOL
