Different people like different things.
Obviously but I wanted to know their reasons.

I've always associated Laura Bailey with Keiko from Yu Yu Hakusho so...if she's doing the Keiko voice then please no never again.
I'd rather have...Amanda Winn Lee as F!Inquisitor Qunari.
I wouldn't mind Nolan (though jossed, they have someone else already) but I hear Laura everywhere. I can't take any character she voices on her own merits because all I hear is Laura. (Unfortunately Claudia Black is starting to head the same way for me, though I still enjoy her.) It has reached the point that she's just playing herself and it detracts from the character because I can just picture her sitting in a recording booth.
Maybe if her characters had more separation (much more tone variance, different accents/pitches/gravel/effects on voice, etc) the characters would remain distinctly, audibly separate enough... but as it is, they just all sound like one woman game-hopping.
I imagine if I had played more games with Nolan in them, I would've been rather dispassionate about him, too.

You need to watch more anime, then. There were many characters I didn't realize were voiced by Laura Bailey until I looked at the credits.

I can no more tell you the reason I like or dislike a voice than I can tell you the reason I dislike the taste of coffee.
Sense level reactions aren't even conscious, let alone reasoned.
Nolan and Laura are both very talented and would indubitably pull off fitting voices, so I wouldn't have a problem with it if 'twere so.
And married to the voice of Roy Mustang, Travis Willingham. Which is funny considering
Spoiler
Troy Baker is playing Deslin Rowe in Infamous SS, TB is best friends with TW, TW is playing Deslin Rowe's brother in ISS, TW is marred to L.B, and L.B is playing a character in ISS, TB was the best man in TW and L.B's wedding.
:S:S :S :S :S :S :S I don't like Robert De Niro because he always sounds like Robert De Niro, i don't like Emma Stone because she always sounds like Emma Stone, i don't like Sean Connery because he always sounds like Sean Connery, :S :S :S :S :S :S :S :S
I really hope we don't get Laura as the female inquisitor. I mean, I don't dislike her as a person, but I really don't like her voice. It's everywhere, I'm kind of sick of it at this point. And if they're going to stick with the English accent for the player like they have previously - use an actual English VA. There's enough of 'em to go around.
Crispin Freeman for Inquisitor or get out.

I'd be thrilled if they picked Amanda! ![]()

I'd pay 200€ for Dragon Age Inquisition with the Stanley's Parable narrator as PC voice.

That's alright, everyone else did and I have an idea now.
Nolan and Bailey are great, but there are better voice actors out there who are waiting to be discovered. How will we ever find them if we keep casting the same people over and over again?
I demand Gilbert Gottfried and Fran Drescher!
Laura is awesome, she would make great inquisitor.
Nolan North is ok but he did a terrible job on Jedi Counselor character in TOR.
Both are great voice actors but I do not want to hear them as the player characters... again. Seriously, Nolan is Nathan Drake from Uncharted to me, period... and to a lesser extent, Desmond Miles in Assassin's Creed. I also have a Jedi Consular Male in Star Wars: The Old Republic that I hardly play, but still... Nolan North again.
He is just over-exposed, and I wouldn't want him in a role that is "mine" in the way that a totally customizable player character in DA:I will be. Better give us someone who is a bit more unknown and doesn't have obvious ties to other franchises.
Laura Bailey is also my Jedi Knight's companion Kira in Star Wars: The Old Republic.

North was acting to direction. Consular's voice was meant to be more even, calm, less excitable. Athena Karkanis did the same for the female Consular.

^THIS! a thousand times ^THIS!
Also I don't think Laura Bailey would be good in the role of Femquisitor. She was a good Tohru Honda and Maka Albarn yes, but a good Femquisitor? No.
I've played two RPGs where Nolan North voices a player character: Guild Wars 2 (male human) and Star Wars: The Old Republic (male Jedi consular). He wasn't exceptional in either of these games. I like him a lot in other roles, like the defective turrets and personality cores in Portal 2, but overall the quality of his performances is pretty mixed.
The Inquisitor's voice in the latest DA:I trailer is likely that of Euan Morton, who voices the male Sith Inquisitor in The Old Republic. He's actually quite good in that role.
Weeeell as long as fem Inquisitor is better than fem Hawke, I'll be happy.
Jo Wyatt as Hawke is one of my favorite voice performances in the Dragon Age series. She's the reason why I rolled a female imperial agent in SWTOR.

Didn't they say that the VA hasn't worked with them before? I also think the VA is the voice of the new baddie for Diablo III Reaper of Souls. (Sample below)

The options for the male inquisitor's voice will be as follows:
1) Higher, less experienced Troy Baker
2) Deep, gravely Troy Baker
3) Snarky Troy Baker trying to sound French
Nolan North will be the hidden option unlocked after playing the game 3 times.

I wish I could mod my life to replace all voices with different variations of Troy Baker and Gideon Emery.
