As a matter of curiosity spawned by recent comments to a Twitter aggregate post on my LJ, I went about looking up voice actors in Dragon Age Origins a bit more thoroughly than the last time, when I noted Kate Mulgrew, Tim Curry, Tim Russ and Claudia Black, among others. During this somewhat more thorough search, I noted a Mr Gideon Emery. Not content to simply list him as "Additional Voices", as they did with so many, IMDB gave us the following list of voice acting credits:

Alarith/Oskias/Saevrin/Frandlin Ivo/Human Mystic Male/Human Male 4/Human Male 29/Human Male 37/Drunken Elf 2/Dwarfman 8

Human Mystic Male must mean the main character voice keyed to 'Mystic' (whatever the hell that means). The rest, by which I mean the ones listed by number rather than name ... I have no idea but it just strikes me comical. I wonder if they list who did the other possible main character voices. I should go look.

But, I mean, really. "Drunken Elf 2". Hee.

I may not specifically understand coding, but there is a certain amount of very very basic background stuff that I get - a whole "If / Then" principle, if you like. Not enough to code, no. But certainly enough to exploit. Which means that I think I know every dialogue trigger point in game, as well as which are reusable, so I get to hear all the funny dialogue without randomly blundering all over the map for it - I just walk the party over said dialogue trigger point, making sure to zone between each use of dialogue trigger point, and voila! Funny. There's also at least one ... I dunno if it's a bug or what ... that I have managed to exploit. Sometimes, my knack for pattern recognition and tendency to think waaaaay too much has its advantages.

However, story-wise, some of this is a little jarring. And so the list continues:

Probably spoilers, nothing serious... )
