DDOGamer: The best DM voice over in the game?

[geoffhanna]

Do you have a favorite DDO dungeon master narration?

DDOGamer does (http://www.gamergeoff.com/my-favorite-dungeon-master-moment-foul-miasma/)

[Nedime]

Favourite or most ridiculous ?

Because in the second case I can't decide between paetus ("hurry the gateway is down") in Ritual and the soft feminine voice

[Roland_D'Arabel]

Inquisitor Gnomon when at the end of the quest he reveals himself to be a Rakshasa. The disdain in his voice, the way he sneers every word is just great.

It's much better when the DM acts out the character script vs. disguising his/her voice to make it sound like something else.

Worst DM voice, in my opinion, is a toss up between: "Please, help me!" and ::whisper:: "A guardian scorpion has noticed you" Bleh, that drives me crazy.

[Buddrow]

By far my most favorite is the Shadow Crypt.

"Two down; many to go!"

[Kalari]

"PLEASE HELP ME" in that horrible excuse for a female voice in "A cry for help" I am sorry the first time I ran that quest was learning the ropes with my guild so of course drinking game rules. I had the DM text up and heard that and laughed for 20 minutes straight. IN fact my buddy Lowell to get me really laughing hard will copy that whenever im getting all grumbly just to make me laugh again.

Necromancer's Doom when Jacoby Drexelhand shows up as undead.

[pSINNa]

1st and foremost the Gygax narration in Delera's.

I've done delera's so many times (many multi TR characters) that you think i'd be over it, but no, still the best of them all (Delera has been released!).

Then comes the cool clinical female narration to the necro 4 set.

And a very close tie to that, the early quests, lvl 1-10, that bloke does fantastic narration, i much prefer it to the more recent ones, which all seem a bit over the top, or too 'cinematic' in feel for me.

I like Sorrowdusk and Secrets of the Artificers.

Sorrowdusk is the perfect mid-level d&d experience, I wish I had a DM who could narrate like that.

Secrets of the Artificers sells the storyline very well. You can hear the hubris and the scars of opression on those voices. Best pack in the game, in gameplay, story and narration :)

[AZgreentea]

Thats a tough one!

I am going to go with Yaulthoon in In The Flesh.

This is why we can't have nice things.

[Roland_D'Arabel]

Yes, this one is great. Love it.

[Untitled]

Still like the oldies.

'You must FREE Arlos!'

and

'Oh no! The Sahuagin have found us'

Oh yes squidface is so cool ! "Do you feel no remorse ?"

[MrCow]

I've gone deeper into the DM voice-overs I like most (http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?p=4034853), but the short version is that I enjoy the original DM and the DM who voiced Updates 5, 6, 9 and 10.

Regardless, even with the DM voice-overs I don't like as much, I prefer having the DM voices playing at all times.

Hi,

My two favourites are the ones in Cry for Help and Irestone Inlet.

When I finally made it through Cry for the first time, I laughed and laughed. It was absolutely hilarious once it had all sunk in. It is still one of my favourite quests too.

Irestone doesn't have that much commentary, but some of ones for the rare encounters are amusingly callous. Hearing Hobble the hobgoblin's death described so dryly, usually within seconds of his appearance, never fails to crack me up.

(Dungeon Master): Hobble the hobgoblin stands with weapons drawn and a foul expression on his face.
(Dungeon Master): Hobble the hobgoblin has been hacked apart!

Thanks.

[geoffhanna]

Wow, Mr. Cow, nice collection! How did you extract them?

[FranOhmsford]

Best one for me is from Catacombs - Pt 3 I believe - The Old Archives:

"The Dead shall be as the Living and the Living shall weep for Death!"

The worst is Madstone Crater - The Giant Shamen - Why can't they heal themselves without whining about it constantly!?!

[Feralthyrtiaq]

The gal that narrates the Orchard Slayer zone.

[Chai]

The lady that narrates lordsmarch 1 and 2 series.

"Whadya know, the second largest exploding barrel youve ever seen is here too".

[Systern]

My favorite is all of Yaulthoon...



The one that drives me up the wall is the end of "Information is Key": "Quickly bring the artifact to the FAIRLANE representative." Phiarlan? Fairlane? Fee are len!

[Memnir]

Speaking personally, the best DM narration is "DM Voice Off".


/shrug


I'll turn it on for my first run through of new content, then turn it back off again. I used to kick it on for Gary's voice over, but haven't even done that in years. Kinda throws me off when I hear the narration over somebody else's mic, too. :)

[susiedupfer]

Ana in the whole MotU.

[Uma-Quixote]

The gal that narrates the Orchard Slayer zone.

She always gets me too.....pronounciation of the word bones - as in - " A massive pile of BOWNNNES..."

Though I also love the guy who sounds a bit like the Reverend in the Simpsons

[Merlin-ator]

Easily whoever was the original Korthos DM (so, not the new person in the Heyton's crypt), with an honorable mention to whoever did the voice for the Spinner of Shadows.

Demons of Khyber! Hear my call! PROTECT MY CHILDREN!!!!!

[Nedime]

Ana in the whole MotU.

This gal speaks too much

[sandypaws]

Necroed! Just because I find the druid's deep/netherese voice acting to be awesome. A bit hammy, but awesome.

Hands down favorite, though, is Lolth's letters in the demonweb.

[Uska]

Egg's and DA's since without them we wouldnt have a game

[Nedime]

A bit hammy, but awesome.

Couldn't find a more appropriate description +1



Hands down favorite, though, is Lolth's letters in the demonweb.
Definitely one of the best

[Postumus]

Inquisitor Gnomon when at the end of the quest he reveals himself to be a Rakshasa. The disdain in his voice, the way he sneers every word is just great.



"You will do no such thing!"

[Edilia]

Best one for me is from Catacombs - Pt 3 I believe - The Old Archives:

"The Dead shall be as the Living and the Living shall weep for Death!"


I also LOVED the narration of this quests. Old catacombs was a place that sent shivers down my spine. So much dread and gore between the lines. Such a shame that it is gone forever! :(

"Let the Tombs and Ossuaries open! Ancient Liches arise! A new Order has come!"

Ahh, the memories... ^_^


PS: Yeah, this is necrothreading, but it is for a good cause.

[WarDestroyer]

1st and foremost the Gygax narration in Delera's.


ditto

also, "me chief now" in Borderlands

[Maidenstalker]

My favorite is the narrator in the Anniversary quest. What an attractive voice. I once said to myself, "I would marry her just for her voice."
