Rundown: rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

If the new VA is decent enough that the voice still sounds like Garrett to my ears, I honestly don't think I can complain. If they assign someone to the job who just can't hack it... yeah, count me in with you. Garrett's a great character and giving his lines to someone who can't do them justice would be a travesty.

The first link is the new actor. It's not terrible and the dialogue itself isn't terribly inspiring, but it just doesn't sound like Garrett to me. The second one is an earlier recording with Russell reading the dialogue.

I don't know, just the subtle nuisances that Russell puts into it - the contempt in his voice at the word hero for instance. I'm going to miss it.

Garrett's narration is the reason that the Thief games have remained some of my favorite games for so long. Perhaps it's just nostalgia talking, but I can help but feel disappointed in the change.

I don't think the second guy is bad at all. In fact he sounds less "actory" to my ears. One of my biggest peeves with games is when it sounds very overdone, not that I think the other guys is atrocious by any means. Just as someone with no history with the game, I actually prefer the second guy.

Wait, I meant I prefer the first video. I listened to the videos in the opposite order of how you posted them. Old guy then new guy.

So you prefer Russel, yes? That's how it usually is.
