I don’t like my norn female voice. She sounds too old/manly and not feminine enough. May I suggest to add an option to switch to using the human female voice for norn females? Or add voice packs for us to choose from?

BTW: I also don’t like my human female voice when she says “goodbye” after talking to an NPC. She uses a norn voice when she says it.

While i agree, mine also sound … wrong , simple changing would mean our norn would begin say stuff like:

I can run faster than a centaur. (or something similar to this)

Would be really nice to have more than one voice pack / char to pick from , but voice over is not cheap and takes a lot of work to get done.

Norn female sounds more like a warrior/fighter. I take it you don’t like sounding like a veteran to many a combat? Norn life=a life of combat. If she sounded all soft it just wouldn’t make sense.

Never heard that fighting changed someones voice…

It changes your mood, your outlook on life, and in turn changes your voice. Talk with women that have been in Iraq as opposed to those that stayed home. There is a noticable difference in all of them. They sound harder.

Not to mention the voices would sound boring if they all were carbon copies.

she’s by far the worst voice actor among player characters. and no, she doesn’t sound like a warrior at all. she should, but she doesn’t. she sounds like a woman trying to impersonate a man.

It’s not the fact that it’s a hardened voice that bothers me as much as the fact that it sounds like an act rather than the characters normal voice.

This I can easily agree with. I just get what they were trying for.

that, and she shows no entonation. like at all. that’s not battle-hardened, before someone mentions, that’s reading the script as you act. that’s poor acting.

I agree the voice acting seems, well, disinterested and completely lacks any of the vigour that the male voice carries, and I’ll also add that her flavour lines are just dull.

In place of lines like “Bow to me in my progress!” and “I will explore all of it!” you get “It’s over.” and “New land… NEW LAND!” which just makes her sound like an inexperienced little girl. o.O

Can’t say I’ve considered her voice old or manly, though. Norn are physical giants, after all.

her voice is to a woman’s voice what a guy trying to sound girly is to a guy’s voice.

completely forced, out of place, and can’t be taken seriously.

It’s amazing how I managed to tolerate the voice of my female Norn as I leveled her up to 80 and got 100% exploration with her.

I do agree that her voice could use some work. Since she’s also a Warrior, I also have to hear her shout— or rather, casually announce— “For Great Justice!” and “Shake it off!” whenever I have to activate those abilities. The feeling for the shouts seem kind of … flat.

Though, I do get a chuckle when I hear her say “Ah! Time to bust some heads.” When recovering from downed state. The spoken line doesn’t sound serious, but a bit too playful. It sounds like she just woke up from a long nap, stretched up a bit, and casually announced what she wanted to do. Sort of like saying, “Ah! What a beautiful morning!”

She doesn’t sound like a warrior at all, like someone previously said, she sounds like a woman trying to impersonate a man. It bothers me so much, having a fem norn as my main.

It needs to be changed. It is horrible. If you won’t let me change my race, let me at least have a decent voice.

The problem with the Norn female voice lies in the delivery, not the the concept itself.

I take that not many of you have ever heard a Norn female’s battle cries, while unsheating the weapon.
Like “Die!!”, “Now you’ll suffer!” or “Slaughter the enemy!”
She uses the correct emphasis in those, but I have to agree that in some of the other lines she lacks of it. Like in Warrior shouts.

Oh and “How many ales have I had?” while confused is just so Norn lol, don’t ever change that.

About the voice tone, it is the tone that a giant battle-hardened tough woman would rather have, imho. If she sounded like a little princess then she wouldn’t be a Norn.
Even Norn males generally have a deeper voice than humans. It also depends on their size, which means probably larger vocal chords.

Whether something is either wrong or right, someone will always complain about it.

I would like the ability to choose from a bunch of different voices. I realise this would involve a minimum of 3 voiceactors times 5 races times 2 genders equalling to 30 differen voiceactors doing how many different story line quotes, grunts, buff acknowledgements…

The best idea would be to let people mod their voice. No one else would be able to tell
but the player would be satisfied… granted that the community can produce good sound files.
