![]() If all there is is a meaningless journey, I'm not interested who wants to walk a thousand miles just for the sake of walking them? I want there to be a meaning to our lives, but I've failed to find it so far. If neither seems attractive to you, what do you think? Now, wouldn't it be wiser to accept that there truly is no end as in an ultimate goal (not as in death) to the journey? Iovara says herself we find ourselves through the journey, so isn't the journey and its self-finding itself the sense of the journey? If that is so, then the journey does not only not need a end (/goal), it actually should lead into another journey, so we can further discover ourselves rather than put an end to that process? Because, in the end, self-finding is not a sudden realisation but a slow and constant process.īut I'd love to hear different opinions. She implies that an endless journey where one question only leads to another one is a senseless one, and thus we need an end that is a goal we can reach, a sense to the journey to say so. Now, later she says the journey must lead to something, an ultimate end. Let's not discuss that (although we could), we'll take it as given. Iovara implies that we find ourselves through journey. I really which I had the option to say something like "the rest is finding out that there is no point to the journey in the first place". I am always unhappy that I can not respond to this. But if one journey leads only to the next, then where might find rest?" It just doesn't work for me."A question is a journey and a journey is what makes us who we are, it's true. But as a the result I simply cannot take this character seriously.Īnd to be honest, how campy/realistic Xoti's accent really is, I have no idea - being Eastern/Central European most southern US accents sound similar to me - whether it's from Texas, Alabama or Arizona. I know this is just my feeling, but Xoti sometimes seems to be written to be as childish and obnoxious as possible - campy southern accent just magnifies that. And the script doesn't do the character any favors. Johnson as Narrator, she was working with what script she was given. I am pretty sure it was a concious voice direction on the developers part - every Raedceran has to speak with a thick sothern accent for one reason or another. At least you can mute the game when the narrations come up and just read through them. ![]() But Xoti's voice drives me nuts (that "Yeah?" when you select her OMG). No idea why Laura decided to go with that accent, instead of her normal one - was it her decision alone, or developers'? I don't know. ![]() I'd also take Ashley's narration over Laura's accent for Xoti any day. Or, since they had to give every damn job to somebody from Critical Role, at least let Liam O'Brien do it with his full Grimoire Weiss voice.īeing from Texas, Xoti (and the other Readceras characters) sound like Foghorn Leghorn, but Bailey adds just enough sexy charm that I find it cute. If they wanted a legendary video game voice actor to do the narrations, then they should have written a check to David Warner. But c'mon, I've heard much worse performances in that game by far. ![]() You can actually hear her trying to dramatically "act out" a narration in a few places. I understand that she was horribly miscast - she's a more of a drama "character " actress first and formost (incidentally, she really sells her performance as Ydwin) and asking her to read a dry narration is like asking BRIAN BLESSED to calmly recite a phonebook - this won't work in any way shape or form. Huh, why people do hate on Ashley Johnson's performance so much? She's not *that* bad - hell, I'll take her narration over Laura Bailey's southern-belle peformance as Xoti everyday. ![]()
