Lemondrop.5216 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 She sounds like a constipated old man, that grunting voice just annoys me. Any way we can alter her voice? If I make her shorter maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justine.6351 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 I like the female norn voice. Sounds like a woman and not a little girl. I remember starting the HoT storyline on a female human and out comes this ear bleeding "Braham! Get back here!!!". Made me want to jump off that cliff and not open my glider.

Biff.5312 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 The voice that needs changing is female sylvari. It's identical to the evil witch krall voice, so whenever I'm playing I'm constantly distracted by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sylvari looks pretty menacing and doesn't suit his well spoken British accent either (tbh I'd much prefer Canach as my VA). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MokahTGS.7850 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 The only thing that I thought of that might be possible with some future tool would be some sort of sound post processing similar to how the reshade post processing works. Not even sure it's possible, but you could change the pitch and tone of the voice to sound slightly different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayumi Spender.1082 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Make a human and pretend it's a Norn child. Norn Children in this game got human faces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last MMO I played had options for voice- you could choose from numerous sets that included the sound of their voice when they talk, how they laugh, their battle noises, etc. Someone did youtube videos of all the options for all races that made it easier to choose. Would be great to have this additional customization available in GW2. It does feel odd to me that all my characters of same race/gender sound exactly the same as each other, and some things (their laugh, for example) don't fit them at all.

Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 > New land. New LAND! Sigh. I stopped playing my Norn character (one of my first) because the voice was so annoying. Surprisingly, some people love the VA and love her interpretation of the Norn player character in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the female Norn voice... when she talks. But there's an awkward moan when she takes damage or whatever... it sounds like a guy just had an 0rgasm.

mercury ranique.2170 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I am hurt by this post. I always loved the voice. After two years of playing my norm I found out it is voiced by Claudia Christian who played commander Susan Ivanova in my favourite sci fi show ever (Babylon 5). I personally love her and her voice as I grew up with it. I also find it very fitting for a norn female, But with that of my chest. No you can’t and I don’t think they change it. By popular demand we want voiced dialogue in all content. They allready have to get 40 voiceactors to speak each player line (5 races times two sexes times 4 languages is 5*2*4=40). Adding more options would elevate this difficulty in development. So you can either play a different sex, a different race or a different language to get s different voice.

Not a good option on "I like how this look, but I hate how it sound so let me play on something I hate the look of (probably) but like the sound of".

Conncept.7638 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Audio is client-side, so you could swap out the game files, even for blank audio files if you'd rather hear nothing. Might get in trouble though, ANet doesn't like people messing with the game files even if it's harmless. > @ProverbsofHell.2307 said: > It's fine. You're not supposed to be as feminine as humans. You can literally turn into a bear. Can you? Because last I checked that aspect of the Norn race was essentially removed from both the story and gameplay because of the spaghetti coded implemention of the transformation system.

I was always disappointed that one of the defining ability of Norn lorewise, the ability to transform, has never properly been reflected in gameplay (because the skills are beyond bad) or even the story . I really hope they are given a overhaul, but not likely to happen. . As for the voice I like that it is different and quite distinct from humans and the other races. Could be better, could be worse.

Oldirtbeard.9834 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I think on April Fools Day they should get Gilbert Godfrey to record all the Player Character voices, that would make you beg to go back to the constipated old man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually... I want to hear him run faster than a Centaur. I think I would like to hear that. or "Grenth! I call upon your power!" or "Click Click Boom..."

Except human female sounds like a 50y old while they look like teenagers. Very frustrating and hard to feel immersed to the story. For me this is Fallout 4 style mistake.

She looks like she's in her 20s. Also don't find the voice sounding like she's 50 either. Maybe in the 30s yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
