Anyone get annoyed at Danika's voice acting?

The character is not bad or anything, but her voice acting...oi

always pisses me off, even after my 5th try for Arborstone

I thought I was gonna get some kind of soft voice, since she's a fricken princess type person, but no..we get some crap voice actor who sounds like she would be the first one to make me get out my car and choke a bitch (immortal words of Wayne Brady)

Danika has the single worst voice acting I've heard in a game. I still cringe when I think of the line 'Damn, I didn't see that one coming!'. I won't play through Kurzick again simply because of that line.

With all the obviously Gothic architecture and the Gernamic-names, I thought all the Kurzicks would have German/Eastern European accents.

Danika reminds me of Sparx from Ace Lightning with her voice.

LOL ... honestly, I love Danika's voice, it has actual personality compared to most.

And as far as I'm concerned, Rurik has the best lines in the game! Hell, the voice actor in question is Robin Atkin Downes aka Byron from Babylon 5!!

"You have grown proud, Adelbern of Ascalon... proud and foolish! "

Now if you want horrible voice acting, try Master Togo and Shiro ... especially Shiro! I am more terrified of hearing him talk in cutscenes than I am of fighting him, lol.

And how would *you* sound if you were several thousand years old?

I didn't really mind Danika's voice quite as much as Kuunavang's... That one was like the fortune-teller and Glint combined; in other words, horrible. But that's just my opinion, so meh.

Danika's hilarious! I'll always remember her first words:

"Lyssa be damned! I didn't see THAT one COMing!"

Sometimes I play through the mission again just to hear her crappy lines, cracks me up every time.

I think it's a great voice acting. She's portrayed exactly like the person she is: those cocky noble people that always think they're the best while they're NOT. And when something happens, they blame others for it.

OMG eefing n00b here. Why don't you go and play like Barbie, cause your a n00b and OMFG, yoda was like only 700 years old, not 7000. LMFAO you n00b. (sarcasim over).

Yeah, the voice acting is terrible in the game, but it's ok, because the gameplay is good, and afterall that's all that really matters.

I love Glints voice, espically here little "speech" when you attempt to do the bonus.. and fail.

Prince Ruick was annoying to baby sit as an npc, they HAVE changed him since GW launch, its much easier to make sure he doesn't get killed now, but I do think he voice acting is pretty good.

Danika's... a future heir of power in House Ze Heltzer, a lady of noble birth.. and she sounds like a teenager chatting in a mall to her friends. The voice was not bad but I feel it was not the character they were trying to portray.

The King of Ascalon voice was dead perfect.

Rurik's voice is pretty good I think. And Danika....her's is not that bad in my opinion.

I just hate the voice of the Seer.

Allow me to clarify the definition of bad voice acting (from the Harvest Ceremony cutscene):

"Beware the Harvest Ceremony!"
"Beware the Harvest Ceremony!"

That has to be worst cinematic sequence I have ever had to watch in a video game. It's that bad.
