    One thing that hadn’t been mentioned yet in this thread is that when voice acting is sub-par, it’s not as noticeable when it’s not in my native language. That’s my own experience anyway.

    I personally struggle with English VAs often when they seem to ham it up more than seems appropriate, or don’t seem to take things as seriously as the scene’s tone.

    I’ll have to respectfully disagree on this. More power to Matt and his prolific career, but man, can we please have some other voices.

    Edit: My goal is to be immersed in the story, and having a small group of VAs work on everything becomes distracting, in my experience.








  • I found the prose to be serviceable, the plotting/pacing to be quite good, and the characters of varied complexity. It’s a fun romp and a light read. The sibling comment about juvenile humor is accurate, you’ll have to tolerate a certain level of ongoing sexdoll/fart/gore jokes. It’s relatively benign.

    The author does seem to think the interior of any living being is made of spaghetti though, based on his description of every injury sustained by any creature.

    ymmv



  • Far be it from me to defend the imperial system- I love and daily work in metric, but you realize nearly all ancient measurement systems are created around commonplace physical measures (body parts, strides, etc.) and simple multiples thereof to make their use easy, yeah?

    We’ve got a lot of tools at our disposal now to both standardize and make working with a decimal system a lot more doable than before.
