While I agree that the role of Jonny is very well played. This guy *did* try to kill you/steal your soul.
And since we brought up voice acting, who did Viconia?

I thought Irenicus was done brilliantly, but am also a big fan of Sarevok. Anyone have any ideas what Irenicus' stats etc are?

If memory serves...

The voice of Irenicus was in the hilarious Monty Python fantasy "Time Bandits"...I should really have checked imdb, but like Pirengle, can't be bothered.

Spoilerish to those who haven't got to the final chapters!

I found the elven connection that is revealed Irenicus had a little bit implausible and irritating, but generally I found his voice acting memorable and full well timed drama. I agree that whilst the final battle isn't horribly difficult with good strategy, he is a strong villain.
I'm not however, especially fond of Bodhi for quite converse reasons.

The only famous voice I know of is that it's pretty much confirmed that Anomen is Pinky of Pinky and the Brain. Oh, and that Viconia and Nalia are the same actress, I believe? (Although it's odd, I want to hit things at the mere sound of Nalia's voice, but I enjoy Viconia.)

Irenicus is a great character. I have a soft spot for tragic villains, though. And pirates. Like Saemon Havarian.

Irenicus (who is hands-down the best voice actor in the game) is voiced my David Warner, a British actor who has been in just about everything from Star Trek to TRON (I'm really dating myself here) and Time Bandits.

Oh, I'm a huge fan of Viconia's voiceacting as well. Could it be true that she also plays Nalia? Then it's just more power to the actress, I suppose.

Feral · 05-12-2004, 12:56 PM

It true, that would give her a lot of range: from one of the best voicesets to one of the more annoying. "How are we helping the less fortunate trudging around down here?"

Was he Soren in Generations?

Feral · 05-12-2004, 01:35 PM

That I don't know, but he did play Picard's Cardassian interrogator in ST:TNG ("There are four lights!").

He was also the professor in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Secret of the Ooze. I was a huge Turtle fan back in the day, so that role sticks in my head.
