They broke Nessa :'-(.

Ultimately though, what I hope players can understand is that no matter what we do, some portion of the community are going to dislike it. So rather than crippling all development and improvements at some point we have to go with our own gut feeling as that is where the game many of you seem to enjoy has come from since the beginning. I can only hope those who don't like it will come to appreciate it in some way one day!

It's okay, Damien. When the GGG team does what others don't want, it blocks out their 'sun'. How many times does a storm block the sun for eternity?

Zero. Keep it up!

She was the weak link. Whatever the intentions, all I heard was an undertone of bemusement to everything she said.

This has been fixed. I am suddenly interested in the character and her back story.

Her 'mmhmm' is still there. And the voice acting's better now. Beast.

No it's not, the voice sounds deeper. I'm definitely NOT going back to act 1 with voice acting on if I can avoid it.

At least they haven't bricked Clarissa yet.

But then again, because they bricked some of the other player character voice actings I turned voice acting off even though I enjoyed it quite a bit before.

Ok, fair enough, you don't like it - but your logic is flawed/not properly explained here: "no, the voice acting's not better now - the voice sounds deeper" - what does that mean? Obviously you don't mean that deeper voices are not "as good" so explain please?

Your loss on the voice in general - glad so far the general consensus is not on your side. Sounds like Clarissa 'nerf' is coming based on recent post in this forum - much needed imo.

If you gave it a bit of time you'd probably find you forget what the old stuff was like anyway. People resist change just because it's change - not saying that's your problem brah but I'd be interested to hear some more detail as to where your opinion comes from before I could remove you from that category - just sayin'.

Fair enough - but obviously the 'undertone of bemusement' thing is purely personal taste born of cultural/social/whatever context. Do you mean amusement? Even that, to me, was totally nonexistent in her first takes.

I liked the old voice better.

hmmm

I love the new Nessa voice acting. I think it's much improved. I especially appreciate that she has intro speech for every class, but it does get weird when you think about it. She knew EVERYONE ^^. Pretty scary.

I still hate her for what she says when I defeat Brutus - Hey bitch, are you here to judge or survive?

That wouldn't have crossed my mind after hearing New Nessa's introduction. Her new attitude is going in the wrong direction. I only heard two (duelest and marauder), but she seems to be more like a... idk any other word other than a b*@#h.

"The fairest flowers bloom in the foulest places." -Tarkleigh...
The New Nessa doesn't really fit that description as well as the old one did. Not sure if the New Nessa lays on the charm as well as the old one. mhmmm

My argument:
Either change what the other two NPCs think about New Nessa, or make Nessa nice again. :P

P.S. The New Nessa's voice didn't sound as "genuine" as the Old Nessa's, but I might just be silly so don't mind me.

Nessa's voice was memorable, and for the game of this genre that's a lot. It was like "Stay a while and listen" of Path of Exile. Now it's just regular NPC and it doesn't matter how good acting is. English is not my first language so I have to agree with people that wrote abut it better.
