Clan Mother Tadalis voice has to be a joke or bug

Im just in the main quest of southern Elsweyr and my EARS ARE BLEEDING!
I really dont want to bash the voiceactor, but holy cow. There are some awful voices in Eso, but this takes the absolutle crown (so far). Its not only annoying, its downright physically hurting.

Is this REALLY intendet? Did someone just slip on the tuning buttons? Maybe its a bug in the soundfiles? Are you REALLY SURE thats how shes supposed to sound like?

    You mean the small house-cat like Alfiq with a bishop hat ?

    Have to agree... It was sooo annoing... And of course she had sooo much to say...

    Btw. I thought that Summerset talking skull and Jee-Lar (same voice actor) was annoing... But guess what. That shorty khajiit captain that is a part of main quest in Dragonhold is also voiced by the same actor. And of course, he had to talk to Clan Mother...

    By that time I was like "heeeelp meeee" :D
    Note: I have noticed that all Alfiqs are designed that way. Their voices inho unnecessary imply that they are tiny cats, and as a side effect it is super annoing to listen too. It would work way better if their voices were normal.

    I like the cat with the hat

    I hate the talking skull

    I know people who feel the exact opposite.

    Both are very distinctive and memorable and embody the ‘personality’ of their characters, which is what you want in a character voice.

    One of the great things about ESO is the quality of the voice acting. Even Stuga has a voice personality.

    That must be the way Alfiq speak. I didn't really mind Tadalis voice, but when I first heard Fezez (the Alfiq merchant) I thought now that's an "interesting" voice, so I can kinda see where the dissatisfaction comes from.

    If anything I'm amazed they can even talk - they're practically housecats!

    Her voice doesn't bother me much though I have to read to understand her. What boggles my mind is how could she give birth to Kaji, an entirely different sub-specy and the different in size.

    Personally, I had no issue with it. I really loved her character and performance. The actor went above and beyond for her I think. A lot of the voice actors for Dragonhold did amazing I think. There were only a couple of characters that I felt could have gone with another take for their lines.

    @Eeri_Ravencaw All Khajiit are born the same, as kittens. However, the phase of the moon that was present at their birth dictates what "form" a Khajiit will grow in to.

    That's got to be one of the strangest ESO lore, thanks for telling me.

    No the strangest lore is Vivec being a hermaphrodite, getting pregnant by Molag Bal, ripping his d*ck off and using it as a spear.

    Still not as strange as the voice of this cat tho.

    Then you don't know much Elder Scrolls lore! It's a bizzare and wonderful place that makes you go wtf and huh? quite often.


    As for the topic. I don't mind it and think she did a good job voice acting.

    And you people wonder why developers don't take most of what you guys say seriously... Imagine being so dramatic like this, and expecting to be taken seriously at all...

    No, I don't read the lore books I picked up. I used to read them when I first started playing this game but the sheer volume of info overwhelmed me.

    The worst voice acting in this game has to be that dude you encounter during the mage questline. Can't remember his name nor the quest name, but it's that voice during the quest you have to collect orbs in a desert like environment so you can open a door.

    That's Shalidor (or Shalidorable, Shally-wally according to Uncle Sheo!). He has to be the most humourless, miserable mage I've ever known. Then again, I've never been fond of Nords or their voices.
    RIP Atherton, my beautiful little gentle friend, my Shining Light. I will miss you forever. Without you I am a hollow shell.

    You mean the small house-cat like Alfiq with a bishop hat ?

    Have to agree... It was sooo annoing... And of course she had sooo much to say...

    Btw. I thought that Summerset talking skull and Jee-Lar (same voice actor) was annoing... But guess what. That shorty khajiit captain that is a part of main quest in Dragonhold is also voiced by the same actor. And of course, he had to talk to Clan Mother...

    By that time I was like "heeeelp meeee" :D
    Note: I have noticed that all Alfiqs are designed that way. Their voices inho unnecessary imply that they are tiny cats, and as a side effect it is super annoing to listen too. It would work way better if their voices were normal.

    Skooma cat's voice is fine! :D

    Honestly a lot of other voices of the small khajiit are fine, Janessa and most others are high pitched too, but i dont find them annoying. But Tadali is just screeching, not talking. I really hope i never have to talk to her again after this quest.

    I thought the talking skull was great!

    I LOVED the voice of Sereyne, the alcoholic alfiq in the Stitches quest line. She was voiced incredibly!
