One of the confirmedly most efficient ways to make someone overconfident and underestimate ones abilities is to make yourself look weak and helpless, then strike them with full force while they expect they'll be dealing with a weak opponent.

Could be he has a snootful of Purple Yin.	Posted by Tao_Jones on Aug 23, 2014, 10:36:42 AM Quote this Post

apologies for the thread necro but did anyone discover who the vorici voice actor is? it sounds like david wenham to me	Posted by nethermage on Sep 13, 2015, 5:53:52 AM Quote this Post
Vorici is voiced by Calum Gittins who has a role in The King's Speech but also played this wee lad in LOTR Two Towers (which shows how long ago that was): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFeWTMiduLg From memory, Calum did actually have a cold during the Vorici session.
