Guild Wars 2

I was pleased to see Korukhan the Blacksmith, the charismatic Order of Whispers representative from the charr personal story, make a reappearance in Tangled Depths. However, his voice acting sounds completely different from in the original game. I’m glad ArenaNet went out of their way to bring back personal story characters with all-too-little screen-time for HoT, and with characters like Ceera in Auric Basin it really worked, but if you’re going to bring back an old character – especially a character whose charisma came largely from their voice acting – you really have to bring back the original voice actor for it. I really hope Anet will record his lines with his original VA when they next have him in the studio.

Anyone else notice this? I guess it’s a fairly niche concern and many won’t care, but I really liked him in the personal story and was didappointed with his wrongly-voicrd appearance in HoT.
