The Daily Grind: Which MMO have you played with the worst voice acting?

Back then.

There was a particular line from the male Norn back in the beta for Guild Wars 2 that made me laugh much more than it should have, an enthusiastic declaration of, “I will find these problems and fix them!” It was meant to establish how the game’s overall flow was meant to work, but it made me giggle every time. Not that this is half a patch on Guild Wars 2’s overall voice acting, which is generally good and at least doesn’t deserve mockery.

But there are lower-budget games with voice acting that… well, let’s just say that the developers needn’t have bothered. Bad voice acting can be far more detrimental than no voice acting, since as soon as a voice sound absurd or meme-tacular that’s all people are going to remember about the dialogue. So which MMO have you played with the absolute worst voice acting?

Every morning, the Massively Overpowered writers team up with mascot Mo to ask MMORPG players pointed questions about the massively multiplayer online roleplaying genre. Grab a mug of your preferred beverage and take a stab at answering the question posed in today’s Daily Grind!
