That´s some real nice voice acting you got there boy

Im not sure if King Arthur 1 had so much voice-over, I think there was some but most of it was text (I didnt play a lot of it so I could be wrong). I wish that was the case with King Arthur 2, cause voice acting in it is terrible and it is everywhere. The game has technical problems which have already been discussed everywhere so I wont go into that here, but strangely enough that is not what i...

Im not sure if King Arthur 1 had so much voice-over, I think there was some but most of it was text (I didnt play a lot of it so I could be wrong). I wish that was the case with King Arthur 2, cause voice acting in it is terrible and it is everywhere.

The game has technical problems which have already been discussed everywhere so I wont go into that here, but strangely enough that is not what is putting me off at all. What I cant really stand is the way the main voice "talent" keeps reading lines in such a ridiculous manner, I can live with one bad voice actor but this dude is making all kinds of voices (he plays women, children, monsters and whatever other character might show up) and reads every single line of text that you come across. On top of that he changes words from the script and the lazy fucks couldn´t be bothered to go back and fix that.

If you are not familiar with the franchise you might be wondering "How is this a problem in a Total War clone?". Well these games have a neat little choose-your-own-adventure mechanic built into them, you make some choices and you get rewarded or punished accordingly, I love that idea but just let me read the text (which can get silly too at times) and dont shove down my throat this horrible one-man show.

I feel like he is making fun of me constantly "oh, you like this silly game dont you?", it was so bad that I had to close the game and write about it...
