I left the game a few years ago and when i came back a few months ago, I quickly noticed that nearly all the voices for my toons had been changed with new recordings added for more actions. The worst are:

My female redguard warden now makes an embarrassing high-pitched "Woo!" when she mounts.

My female bosmer stambalde sounds like she's violently retching when she does any dual-wielding skills.

My femme altmer sorc has an odd baritone voice that is clearly done by the same guy who voice the main NPC in Banished Cells and it completely doesn't fit my headcannon for that toon. (Seriously, if my altmer has to sound like a well-known NPC, give me the voice of the jewelry certification guy in Summerset, please! I don't care if half the community hates it!)

My female khajiit stamblade has an irritating mix of a sort-of Khajiity female voice and a generic human female voice that I don't think are even done by the same voice actor, like they couldn't even bother to get enough female Khajiit recordings for the newer actions.

My male khajiit stamblade does this dumb roar with certain personalities that doesn't sync at all with the personality movements and sounds like he's about the sneeze really badly. Ah, ah, AH, AAAH, AAAAAAAAH! What is that?

The only changes i really like are to my Argonians. They now make more hissy sounds, that I think are cute and hilarious.

Yeah boundless storm too. I like to speed buff around, but now every 4 seconds it's "raaah!.. raaah!.. raaah!". My sorc has always done this, but it sounds so much louder than it used to. It almost feels anti-social. You can bar-swap cancel the vocalisation from boundless storm, but not streak unfortunately. I just wish it was every 3 or 4 casts or something, it would make it much less embarrassing.

Surprised there isn't a classical "Silent protagonist" option where your character doesn't make any noises. That right there is worth a token.

The increasing amount of such cosmetic bugs with new update is really sad

1) Adding "CC immunity" visuals to new mementos.

2) Removing voice of "break free", while adding voices to previously silent abilities...

3) Removing effects from old mounts (Frostmare and Sabre Cat Frost Atronach).

4) Bug with "new" behavior of light sources affecting Shadow Rider Senche mount, Worm Wizard personality, furniture items in houses, light sources in the game world (that bug is more than 6 months old though).

This all makes me nervous, cause all these bugs are still not fixed - and not even acknowledged

What exactly happens to the mounts? I've had an issue for the longest time with my Gloam Wolf (the glow vanishes), and my Silver Nimbus Wolf, Sanguivorian Howler and Lambent Shadowmane Courser sometimes lose their smoke. I wonder if it's all related.

About the OP: the yelling has really ruined the buttery smooth feeling of this skill. Thankfully my toon has a mostly pleasant voice, but it was better when it didn't sound like he was straining himself. He yells at stuff when he uses Inner Rage, too. There's a lot of screaming involved in taunting and kiting now.

I hate a new senche-raht sounding. Before the update they occasionally growled softly which only served to emphasize their intelligence. And now they're "brl-brl-brl" every 3 seconds, it's not even a growl and it's annoying. =__=

Execute phase for my NB with Impale be like "Aah! Aah! Aah! Aah! Aah!" STFU!!

The most annoying addition for me though is visual; when she summons the shade there's a brief animation.. like bleeding?!

Yeah it's like someone on the Dev team that doesn't like the Sorc class but couldn't get the OK to nerf them so they just made them super annoying to play by adding the vocalization to streak instead.
