What's the deal with Pale Sentinel's voice?

Forgive me if this is some sort of service to a fan or ingame memorial to someone afflicted IRL (Kinda like Ahab Wheathoof / Ezra Chatterton in WoW) In which case okay... Ignore this.
But if not... Zos... what the hell... You just broke my immersion on so many levels and made me cringe beyond belief. How is this still ingame? The kid sounds NOTHING like a ghost should.

Note: The echo is only coming from the Ayleid ruins. The NPC ghost has none. So it sounds even worse outside.
EDIT: I DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE GHOST BEING A KID I'm concerned why it doesn't sound like A GHOST KID.

✭It's meant to be their child who died as a child and is mentally still a child so they had a child's voice.
You just didn't pay attention to the story it seems.3 -

✭✭✭✭It's a kid
That's fine, but he sounds nothing like a ghost would even if as a kid. That's my concern. Give it some deep resonating ghostly echo. Cause all that's there right now is coming from environment. And it really sounds BAD outside of the ruins
And I mean really really bad. Like a home-recorded voice-over.
I'm totally fine with the ghost BEING a kid. To clear up misunderstanding.Edited by Nyladreas on October 7, 2018 1:42PM0 -

✭How is a ghost kid supposed to sound? If you have a problem with him then what about all the other ghostly characters you interact with throughout the game? Are they ghost enough for you? Mot sure what the problem here is.0 -

I mean, right off the top of my head I cannot remember -any- ghost in ESO being all "ghostly", they all seem to talk normally, yes? Why should -this- ghost be any different?
Also, what -are- ghost kids supposed to sound like anyhow? Like... Caspar the friendly ghost, perhaps? Didn't that one also just talk normally? (Been a while since I saw such).
Point is, its up to the creators to decide how they wanna depict their ghostly NPCs. And they decided to leave off the "hollow vioce" and moaning, and chaain rattling, and just... let the ghosts talk normally.
Thus... that's how ghosts are in tamriel.
And unless a lead designer meets a -real- ghost kid...
...and goes like "Oh, noes, people we gotta change that it sounds -nothing- like the real deal", I suppose this is just how things are gonna be.

Pennylong✭✭✭I think it might be better if you gave an example of what you think it should sound like.
According to my scientifically approved paranormal investigation sources though the voice is 100% accurate.

✭✭✭✭Sounds good to me. That being said I am clearly not an expert in what ghost sound like, since I have never spoken with one.0
