Narrators

[Metagation]

I just finished the quest Disciples of Rage and the narrator is really good. I love how he voices the NPCs and he adds great mood to even the most mundane quests. Anyone have a favorite narrator in DDO?

 

[The_Apocalypse]

My favorite is Ally Murphy, the narrator for Death House and Sunrise. The story voices and such, as well as her own voice, really adds to the quests.

...especially Death House...

...creepy...

 

[LeoLionxxx]

Got to be Yalthoon for me. I like when his synthesizer voice kind of peaks, and how proud he is of all his creations.

 

[PurpleTimb]

Dave Arneson.

"That did it. The door's open."

 

[Ozz]

As I turn off the DM I don not care

 

[Brakkart]

Ed Greenwood for Haunted Halls of Eveningstar and Travis Willingham for Against the Slavelords are my favourites.

Cry For Help is the best narration in all of DDO and you can't prove me wrong.

Anything Cindy Robinson does

What, no love for Wil Wheaton narrating a module he said he hasn’t ever run?

<Shut up, Wesley>



To be honest, though, I think he did a decent job.

"something small, and old, and forgotten"

Yes, Yaulthoon voice-guy is also great, in a completely different way.

Satine Phoenix was a great choice for the Sharn modules, but they should get Keith Baker in for the next Eberron quests.

 

[RangerOne]

I like Wil Wheaton. It's Wesley Crusher I can't stand.

 

[Bricks]

I really like the narration in the first myth drannor quest, really really good.

 

[Hireling]

Whoever did "Cry for Help" because it reminds me of my personal Tabletop PnP DnD sessions where I am screeching in a horrible "woman's voice" to the dismay of the poor souls who trusted me to be the DM.

 

[ACJ97F]

Not really a narration, but the deadpan "Roar. Roar." from the stuffed bear in the Slaver questline still makes me laugh.

 

[Aelonwy]

Death House was incredibly good. But Ravenloft is still the best content in the game ever. Some of Sharn is really, really good. No mention of Salt Marsh? There's some very nice voice work in there. I want to like Feywild but some of it was too goofy for me? The Windmill quest comes to mind. However, Hyrsam is very well voiced.

 

[Drunken.dx]

I agree with most of examples here.

But one narrator wjo I can't stand is one who voiced feywild wilderness, catacombs and number of other content.

His tone always sounds like he despises players and what he narrates. (seriously if a DM used that tone at my table I'd ask him if I seduced his girlfriend or something like that)

Especially pixie village in feywild. I always feel like he's about to mock pixies for making village there.

 

[Cheeps]

I feel like I'm the only one who turned off the narrators.

Did this like twelve years ago, but turned it on when Ravenloft came out, also turned the music on for that one.
(then turned it off afterwards)

Oh, and the rare occasion we do whisperdoom, I turn on narration for obvious reasons...

I had narrators and music turned off for most of my time playing DDO.
Only in last few years I turned narrator on and no music still.

 

[Biggdaddy]

Whoever does the Erandis Vol voice in Epic Orchard. If you listen to them in order, I think she just nails the progression from innocent child to insanity.

 

[Panda]

A runner up is any quest that uses the word "coterminous". I think there's 2 or 3 of them, one of them being Mabar Night festival.
