As someone coming straight from DOS2, fully acted cutscenes are absolutely amazing (kbin.social)

I started a new DOS2 character while I was waiting for the full release of BG3, and it helped me remember how much I love CRPGs (it's the only one I've played aside from BG1 when I was a kid).

The narrator was something that really stuck with me, as you didn't always see detailed actions of your party and NPCs during dialogue, so you had to use your imagination based on the narration.

Having now started BG3 with it's fully cutscened conversations and interactions, it really feels like an evolution. They are so well captured and acted that it makes the game feel so much more engrossing.

So why do you choose a voice when creating a character?

What do you mean?

There’s an option during the character creation where you choose your voice.

You sure the option was still there? I remember it in early access, but I didn't see the option after release. Unless I completely missed it, but I spent like damn near 40 minutes on the create character screen.

Yrp! Its on the first page. There's like 6 or 8 choices iirc? (Half masculine half feminine)

Your character speaks when you take actions and while walking around (if you have that enabled), so you’re choosing what that voice sounds like
