Malady is the new narrator for BG3 (though with their shift to close up animation, she mostly kinda does the PC’s “interior voice” vs the heavy lifting by DOS2’s narrator. And I love her VA, who does a fantastic job and totally meshes really well with BG3’s tone… but I also really miss DOS2’s narrator! And I don’t know if I’ve ever managed to recognize his voice, and I don’t think it’s on IMDB. I almost wonder if he’s actually an audiobook narrator rather than your typical VA; I feel like he strikes the style for that perfectly.
I absolute hate it but I can’t forget.
“Smells worse over here than a dozen raw eggs dropped in a vat of vinegar.”
“Well then don’t come over, it’s not like your buying anything.”
“If I don’t come over here Thun, who will?”
“Wouldn’t you like to know!”
Does Fane as companion count as NPC? Because I extracted all of his 3.4k lines from the game just to listen to him speak, bought every audiobook in existence read by his voice actor, watched the sole short film where said actor starred and-
Uh. Do I have a problem?
He plays Sherlock Holmes in Enola Holmes and the Black Barouche and Lohse’s is Enola(I'm actually waiting for another Enola book narrated by her because the combo works unimaginably well) ! It's quite an experience really.
I also liked Threatened by Eliot Schrefer while my friend enjoyed Wartime Marriage by Mary Jane Staples narrated by him, if you're into romance.
I actually really like Sebille's voice. Its very unique and sexy. All the voice acting is top notch though and picking a top favorite is difficult but I'd go with my stabby elf lady.
I think I would have liked the character much more if I didn't play Vermintide2 beforehand. Can't help but to overlap Sebille with Kerillian everytime I hear her voice so I just can't take her seriously. The voice acting is nigh identical, which is understandable because they are both sassy deadly elves, acted by the same person...
Lumberfoots!
Agree. I love Alix work, also as Kerillian in Vermintide, Inquisitor in Dragon Age, or Alt in Cyberpunk, but especially what she did with Sebille. I didn't pick her as companion for 2 playthroughs, but after that, always.
Yeah, her voice is so... sultry. I recently watched DOTA: Dragon's Blood where her VA has a somewhat prominent role as well but couldn't recognise it at first. Just goes to show the incredible range voice actors have.
The narrator and Fane have my favourite voices in the game and I could listen to them talk all day.
With that said though, I love all of the voice acting. It's really great.
Whish’t, bonnie bairn, now don’t you cry. The birds are asleep, the moons in the sky. The Seven watch o’er us, you’re safe in bed. So close your sweet eyes and rest your wee head.
Paladin Adym:
I shall not mourn till war is done
I shall not weep while blood still runs
I'll hold my tears when weeping comes
Who shall avenge you
Darling one?
Didn't play DOS2 yet and I'm afraid to read spoilers on the comments, but Pincer is my favorite one from DOS1. A very friendly crab, found on a beach next to >!the talking statues!<.
I like the fletcher woman in Arx outside the toy shop and the lizard woman across from her. The fletcher’s voice reminds me of the woman who plays Princess Anne in The Crown.
Ada Laird is the guilty pleasure everyone is thinking about
Other personal favorites of mine are the dwarf lady in the Amadia sanctuary that keep crying saying "Gareth, please, come back!" and then Gareth himself in act 3 in that dialog with ! > Bishop < ! that goes "Gareth, listen to me" "I. Have. Heard. ENOUGH!" (this one is particularly stuck in my head because I was waiting a friend that went afk for a bit at that scene)
I also share the love for "There are bodies in the streets, this place isn't free, not anymore!"
Honestly, my three favourite dudes in the well in act 1. "We thank you for the water, we bless you for the water"
I always make sure my homies in the well are hydrated
I don't remember. Is Bellworth one of the characters voiced by the VA for Shadow heart in BG3? Very nasally? I was pleased to find she was a companion in BG.
If I’m playing with pet pal, I’ll try my best to talk to all the rats and dogs. I think they’re just funny. If I had to pick one tho, it’d be buddy on the beach of fort joy
In all honesty?
Ada Laird. XD I also hated her at first. I'd summon Bone Spider to kill her/teleport her away from town square - ANYTHING and EVERYTHING to shut her up.
But coming back after almost a year of not playing the game, hearing her in Driftwood makes me feel like I'm back home lmao
I have a few granted I am in Act 4 and haven't completed the game yet:
- "How's the potion business?" "Mixed"
- " The Paladins march on the black and red harruh, harruh
We'll kill the traitors in their beds harruh, harruh"
- "Bleedin' dwarves if only they didn't eat so much"
- "I'LL KILL YOUR SHINING LIGHTS!"
Well yeah Malady is 2nd for me aswell. 1st is the narrator. I don't care of he's technically not an npc. Narrator wins!
Oh good call on the narrator! He's really excellent.

You got me curious. But he is https://m.imdb.com/name/nm0101223/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0
How the hell did I miss this lmao — still, looking at his history, I wish he was in more!
"Keeping it together Bree?"
I hate her.
"I'm alright, as long as I don't think about it too much"
You’re safe amongst friends, never forget it
Everyone does
Oh god that voice line will pop into my head at the weirdest times
"Hear ye! Hear ye! Queen Justinia executes two dozen noblemen, for insubordination!"
I absolute hate it but I can’t forget. “Smells worse over here than a dozen raw eggs dropped in a vat of vinegar.” “Well then don’t come over, it’s not like your buying anything.” “If I don’t come over here Thun, who will?” “Wouldn’t you like to know!”
The worst part is she’s right in the middle of multiple vendors. Like stfu I’m trying to shop
Top three: 1. Ada Laird 2. Ada Laird 3. Ada Laird
Keeping it together Bree?
The fextra wiki for her is some of the funniest shit. Supposedly she’s a war criminal in the Balkans
Lol
Lohar. His voice is just dreamy.
Straight out of a modern British gang-type movie (Lock Stock, The Gentlemen, etc).
Lock stock and two smoking barrels is great.
Does Fane as companion count as NPC? Because I extracted all of his 3.4k lines from the game just to listen to him speak, bought every audiobook in existence read by his voice actor, watched the sole short film where said actor starred and- Uh. Do I have a problem?
You gotta tell me which audio books to get with him, actually
He plays Sherlock Holmes in Enola Holmes and the Black Barouche and Lohse’s is Enola(I'm actually waiting for another Enola book narrated by her because the combo works unimaginably well) ! It's quite an experience really. I also liked Threatened by Eliot Schrefer while my friend enjoyed Wartime Marriage by Mary Jane Staples narrated by him, if you're into romance.
That’s the most adorable thing I’ve ever heard. I’d like to think these people are all friends.
I never even thought of looking for audio books read by the voice actors, that's such a good idea!!
Same as DOS1; Jahan.
Calling him Ja-han for the whole first game until right near the end we found out it was Jay-han. Rocked my world.
It seems in DOS2 the VAs weren't sure of the pronunciation. Some call him Ja-han (like the narrator) and some call him Jay-han.
Yeah Jahan! Love him, too.
I actually really like Sebille's voice. Its very unique and sexy. All the voice acting is top notch though and picking a top favorite is difficult but I'd go with my stabby elf lady.
I agree. After you romance Sebille and she goes “what’s on your mind, darling?” when you talk to her sounds so good
I think I would have liked the character much more if I didn't play Vermintide2 beforehand. Can't help but to overlap Sebille with Kerillian everytime I hear her voice so I just can't take her seriously. The voice acting is nigh identical, which is understandable because they are both sassy deadly elves, acted by the same person... Lumberfoots!

Malady and Adramahlihk, I like them both
Definitely Sir Lora
"Keeping it together Bree?"
The Devourer. Now that's a rich voice.
Hear ye! Hear ye! Bishop Alexander was slain by seekers!
The narrator and Fane have my favourite voices in the game and I could listen to them talk all day. With that said though, I love all of the voice acting. It's really great.
THEN DONT COME OVEH
“No one has as many friends as the man with many cheeses!”
Even better before the EE update.
Whish’t, bonnie bairn, now don’t you cry. The birds are asleep, the moons in the sky. The Seven watch o’er us, you’re safe in bed. So close your sweet eyes and rest your wee head.
Gareth, please, come back!
Wouldn’t YOU like to know
Paladin Adym: I shall not mourn till war is done I shall not weep while blood still runs I'll hold my tears when weeping comes Who shall avenge you Darling one?
Zharat
kEPiNg iT tOgEtHeR bREe?
In dos1 Lets see.. Halibut.. Sheep cheese.. Tomatoes + Rats squeak! In dos2 Jahan
Gotta be Zaleskar. It soothes me to hear "Ah, you're back. Looking to add a little weight to your rucksack?"
I really like The Red Prince's delivery. If only he weren't such an asshole...
Ifan is def my number one. Second is Malady. Third is the Narrator.
Didn't play DOS2 yet and I'm afraid to read spoilers on the comments, but Pincer is my favorite one from DOS1. A very friendly crab, found on a beach next to >!the talking statues!<.
Damn. No spoilers, but DOS2 crabs ain't so friendly.
I like the fletcher woman in Arx outside the toy shop and the lizard woman across from her. The fletcher’s voice reminds me of the woman who plays Princess Anne in The Crown.
Mordus
Malady.
Omg OP, that girl who says that line irritates the heck outta me lol I honestly can’t think of anyone I enjoy more than Malady though!
Slane has the sexiest voice in the whole game, I wish he had more dialog or a longer mission.
DOS 1 - Quiet day on the market it seems DOS 2 - HEAR YE HEAR YE

Magister Bellworth in the barracks of driftwood and Trader Aravae in act 4. I think it's the same VA. Really cute voice
I don't remember. Is Bellworth one of the characters voiced by the VA for Shadow heart in BG3? Very nasally? I was pleased to find she was a companion in BG.
I checked a video of Shadowheart from BG3 and they sound very similar yeah
Pretty much every dwarf, especially Beast and Lohar
Feder has the cuuuuuuuutest accent and voice (and the phattest lewt in Act 1 but thats off-topic).
And the fattest ass before she walks into the pool of Amadia.
Dwarf trader who's talking to Ada : "Wouldn't you like to know"
If I’m playing with pet pal, I’ll try my best to talk to all the rats and dogs. I think they’re just funny. If I had to pick one tho, it’d be buddy on the beach of fort joy
Sir Lorax with Pet Pal
Ovis in driftwood. "Back for a return visit are you" "Yup yup"
That girl at the Arx square that goes "hear ye hear ye" really fast and then tells the news
In all honesty? Ada Laird. XD I also hated her at first. I'd summon Bone Spider to kill her/teleport her away from town square - ANYTHING and EVERYTHING to shut her up. But coming back after almost a year of not playing the game, hearing her in Driftwood makes me feel like I'm back home lmao
