Tunguska........that Voice!

She has the most annoying voice of any character I've heard! Is it like a bad smell that you don't notice after awhile? I hope so; just started it.

I remember lots of people being annoyed by her voice. It did not bother me at all.

I actually found the voice of the main character in Keepsake even more annoying.

Her voice didn't bother me. The one that irritated me like fingernails on a chalkboard was the main character's voice in Keepsake....flat, unable to elicit passion, childish....ugh!

Neither voice annoyed me in the least. I thought both of these games were wonderful.

hey nickie.
not saying the games aren't great; the voices are strange.
let you know when I get more into it.

I hope you have fun with it cazziejoe!

Yes, I hear many people are annoyed with the voice acting (US version). She sounded a little to "valley-girl" like, but the game was so good I put up with it. You can also keep the subtitles on, and skip the voices (I forgot the command - it's either, spacebar or right-click). Have fun!

Voice's Never bothered me At All...In any Game..

Game In Question..Al Emmo...I thought his voice was Kind of Cute..

Question: Is the US version voice acting different than the English version? In the English version she had an American accent but i don't know whether it was the same voice acting.

Butcher -- they delayed the US release of the game in order to change the voiceovers from the UK version. I'm not certain exactly which voices were changed -- it was clear that Zak and Mustavio's voices were different. Not sure about Lydia's.

I really didn't mind the main character's voice in Tunguska, I got used to it after a while.

Keepsake's Lydia had me chewing the furniture in despair.

Aha, i was referring to Tunguska and not Keepsake

Sorry for my confusion, Butcher! I've actually wondered that myself about Tunguska.

EDIT: I just checked the Tunguska forum. The Community Manager there says that there are no differences between the UK version and the North American version of the game.

I agree, the girl in Keepsake's voice was so annoying I didn't finish the game.

I loved all the voices in Syberia 1 and 2... very well done.

Nancy Drew has a good voice. I'm playing Tunguska now and her voice is slightly annoying as it is so little girlish... sort of like Daddy's little rich girl of about 10 yrs old. However, did you like the man's voice? Can't think of his name right now but the one in the office next to her father's.... now that's a sexy voice.

Max if i remember correctly.

I didn't find the voices in either Keepsake or especially Tunguska annoying either, although I know alot of others did. I thought both games were great so I didn't really pay too much attention to the voices.

Voices in games never bother me. I'm just happy that we have games to play!

Certainly there are voices in every game that i notice and i remember more than others (e.g Mustavio with his accent) but i can't say i found a voice which actually bothered me, although Oscar in Syberia was quite annoying after a while

I didn't care for the voices in Keepsake, but the game was so good otherwise that it's still one of my favorites.

Tony Tough is a game I've yet to finish, and Tony's voice was one of the main reasons why not.

I think I'd rather the girl in Tunguska had a phony German accent instead of the Californy girl accent she did have. I'm kind of sick of those Californy girl accents in games where they don't belong. Of course a genuine German accent would have been better. I didn't mind her high-pitched voice as much as her accent. I've known older women with high-pitched voices like that, but they didn't talk like Californy girls.

And speaking of annoying voices, let's not forget Samuel in Black Mirror. There were plenty of complaints about his voice at the time the game came out, but people tend to forget.

Ah, I grew fond of Samuel and his monotone, it befitted him very well. There aren't that many character voices I have an issue with; Keepsake just seemed to bundle the whole lot up into one excruciating package for me. Good game otherwise, though!
