So I get that there are a hundred other things that are going south right now, but can we talk about consistency real quick?

I wanted to bring this up earlier, but the hype train for Extinction was still going hard when the trailer released so I didn't want to be unnecessarily harsh. But since everyone else is giving their critiques, so will I. And I must say that Seren's new voice actor........... Was not it.

First of all, not only did she sound nothing like the previously established lore or the actual already established voice for the character, there wasn't even any sort of effect added to her voice! It literally just sounded like some random older lady and not like the ethereal crystal goddess she is supposed to be. It honestly bothered me everytime she spoke.

Believe me, I do need to reiterate that I am VERY grateful that they are looking at ways to incorporate voice acting without blowing their massively underfunded budgets, but for the love of Guthix be consistent and use the same voice actors OR AT THE VERY LEAST get someone similar and at bare minimum use the same effects you had previously done with the characters voice. It would be like if we took Azzy's iconic groggily sounding voice and just changed it to some random British lad off the street without changing a thing to his voice.

Tldr; use the same voice actors or at the very least same voice over effects that were already used on established characters. It's annoying af and, for me, breaks immersion and the character.

It is??? I am truly shocked lol. I'm willing to own up to being wrong lol. I guess it's a fair difference without the effect on her voice... Thanks for the reply though!

No worries. She's actually really nice too, she wanted us to send her the cutscenes when they were finished and got really into the character's personality and motivation.
