Slight criticism : March of Sacrifices voice acting

Recremen

So first, obviously the new dungeon in beautiful and mechanically very interesting, wanted to get that squared away right from the get-go! With that said, though, there's something that bothered me about some of the voice-acting, specifically for Hircine and a few of the inter-boss enemies. Hircine sounds... well, kind of like grizzled old man instead of a great and powerful Daedric Prince. And one of the inter-boss enemies, a Khajiit, says something along the lines of "Hungry-Cat demands blood!" or whatever, but it's with the exact same voice as one of the Reachmen bosses from Bloodroot Forge. There isn't a change in accent or anything that I could discern.

These aren't world-ending oversights, of course, and it's not like those voice actors are bad. I've usually liked their work quite a bit! But I feel like they either weren't great choices for these particular roles, or they weren't given sufficient direction to make them unique voices that match the characters they're meant to portrait. What are other peoples' thoughts on this?

I felt the same with some of the voice acting in Summerset, namely Nocturnal. If they were going for the 'cliche evil trope' thing then I guess they nailed it. She had obviously calmed down alot by the time Skyrim rolled around...

Hircine's voice actor did the voices for the male Dunmers in Skyrim, and all i hear when Hircine speaks is Erandur from that one Daedric quest in Dawnstar

I don't care much about this, I'm running too fast through the dungeon to listen to them

I wanna know who voices Hanu. Sounds so much like Rachel Weisz. I thought the voice acting for her was well done.

That's fair, it's a pretty niche issue that not everyone's going to even notice let alone find a problem with.

Yeah my absolute only two criticism with either voice or direction were the two mentioned. The Nord, the Bosmer, and Balorgh were all superbly done as well.

Yeah I feel like the voice acting in the dungeons are really inconsistent. The few that come to mind that i found really well done are like, Caillaoife in Bloodroot forge, and Zaan in Scalecaller Peak but often it feels like everything else falls flat in comparison to those really well done characters.

The game really needs an angry Scotsman's voice, a Glaswegian preferably.

At least hircine looks like a daedric prince unlike nocturnal

Hircine looks absolutely incredible, they definitely made it feel like His Realm.

There isn't a shred of hate in the OP that I saw.

Just for this i gave op a like, this kind of bs, really pisses me off, all criticism branded as hate, everything is toxic, to hell with this garbage, it's just a way to shut people up when they give actual good feedback/criticism.

People like you are the reason why we can't have nice discussions, because there is always someone like you that tries to shame people into being quiet, and when that fails, they turn to violence....
