As long as the character is good I don't care if it's voiced or mute.

From what I know, the voiced main charachter was one of the reason DA2 had only a human PC.  Would you be willing to ditch that for more replayability and customization in DA3, at the loss of not having a voiced protagonist?


HELL TO THE NO!

>:(

If I have to, I'll start a "fight for a voice" movement.

A voiced protagonist does not necessarily exclude origin stories, though the distinction between races via accents makes it difficult to allow those origin stories to include multiple races.

Instead, I think BioWare should focus on origin stories with one race and a voiced protagonist. Noble, peasant, urchin, mage, slave...there are many interesting and defining places a person can come from regardless of race.

Part of me wants to believe they could try three races again with one voice actor for each gender, the protagonist having been "raised in xyz" to explain an odd combination of accent and race, but that borders on silly and I doubt a good enough voice exists. Dwarves can clearly have the Ferelden accent, but could you imagine Hawke's voice - exactly as it is - fitting for a Dwarf? Could you imagine Bodahn's voice working for a Human?

I hear Mr. Gaider wants to keep the voiced PC, yet somehow integrate multiple races. It is going to take a lot more dev time than 18 months, though. I think.

Morrigan needs to look like she did in Sacred Ashes.

I respect your opinion, but:

I agree with this. There's no reason why we can't have multiple origins with just one race.

Part of me wants to believe they could try three races again with one voice actor for each gender, the protagonist having been "raised in xyz" to explain an odd combination of accent and race, but that borders on silly and I doubt a good enough voice exists. Dwarves can clearly have the Ferelden accent, but could you imagine Hawke's voice - exactly as it is - fitting for a Dwarf? Could you imagine Bodahn's voice working for a Human?


It'd be a challenge to find a suitable voice, although I think there are more than a few dwarves who had voices that sounded just like other humans.

I certainly don't oppose bringing back multiple races. More variety is always good, but if it came to only having one of the two, I wouldn't choose that over a voiced PC.

Much like a Jean Claude Van Damm movie:lol:

I love the office.

she honestly doesn't look all that different from it already imo. I posted on the "Redesigned Morrigan" thread how similar the two really are.

You know, even 30% of the player base is a huge number.  What those statistics show is that all the origins were pretty popular.

And even if people didn't finish an origin long enough to get the achievement- I think you have to get to midway at least?- doesn't mean they didn't get something out of having that origin available.  I never finished a dwarf playthrough, but had several partial pt's and liked having the option to play dwarves.  I know other people who just played the origin stories, but that at least adds value to the game.

My point. You proved it.

Image IPBI love that Morrigan. She's just sexier and more mysterious to me in that pic.

Sexy and mysterious? She looks like she's been hit repeatedly in the face with a shovel. Image IPB

No, she just looks like my younger sister after she's come home from the bars. Enough of a reason to want Morrigan to look more like her voice actress instead.

Well I find her SA version very sexy, dark, and mysterious.

I would happily, cheerfully, and gleefully give up the voiced protagonist so I could have the ability to give my protagonist her own voice, and personality in my head again. One voice and I can only make one face because that voice goes with that face.

If it is the reason we couldn't have other races, well, that's just one more reason for me to say "please get rid of it." For that means less content. I'll take more content any day.

Having multiple voiced protagonists of other races might be interesting. But are there enough great voice actors out their with different accents? Because I am looking for quality not just quantity.

I like that version of Morrigan myself.  personally.  

Her facial animation was kind of...unattractive (though it totally fit her character's mood at the time), but the face itself was fantastic.

I thought Leli looked better in the SA trailer, while Morri looked better in-game, IMO.
