Vainamoinen: Maybe not exactly that, but pretty much that, yes. :)

Vainamoinen: Well, of course they'll change Saga's voice again in the very next interlude, and I strongly suspect they want to go with Sarah again eventually (should TLJH happen, they might have both April and Saga in the same game).

Still, keep in mind that this is not a AAA venture. The 11 hour Dreamfall probably had double the budget of 20+ hour Chapters. And voicovers are extremely expensive, that's why Chapters uses comparatively few voice actors for many roles (same voice actors for e.g. Zelenka/Vamon or Enu/Hanna or Adala/Shepherd). Finding child voice actors isn't just expensive, it's also very, very difficult. Bip sounds really great, in my opinion, but Bip is safely within the 400+ spoken lines vicinity.

Finding yet another child voice actress that sounds younger than Bip, and that for a single interlude with just about 30 lines of text? Really not worth the effort. I'm not certain of course, but I think they indeed went with Ragnar Tørnquist's daughter, who is just about seven years old. I think she did a marvelous job, considering the circumstances. And the money they save here will be put to very good use elsewhere – improvisation and working with the assets at hand, that is the mark of the surviving indie developer.

And it really seems like you'll never see or hear anything of seven year old Saga again, judging from the narrative structure of Chapters. So, chalk it up as minor annoyance...

Joseph1957: Out of interest, I've tried to look up some of the real people behind the character voices they play (for instance, who does the voice-over for Shepherd) and a few of them remain unknown; obviously they are known, but do not seem to want to reveal themselves for some reason...

Vainamoinen: A lot of those wiki edits are mine, thank you very much. :)

There is, as of now, no complete list of cast. There are no cast member names given in the rolling credits of either Book as of now. Supposedly that happens only at the very end of Chapters.

So we're left guessing. Some tweets have given valuable info, sometimes a name popped up on imdb which we didn't yet know, but mostly I've just been going through the Secret World voice actors closely listening for someone I've heard in Chapters.

Sometimes a guess is confirmed by Ragnar. Happy us. :)

If you have a guess for Shepherd/Adala, I'll gladly give her a listen! :)

Joseph1957: Just interested in what choice you made towards the end of the game when Kian stowed himself away on board the cloud ship. Did you take Likho with you or did you leave him behind? I decided that it might be a good choice to have Likho by my side, just in case he is needed in a difficult situation. However, I think Shepherd will need to maintain a low profile, along with her gang of rebels in Marcuria, until Kian and Likho get back (if they do).

Joseph1957: I forgot about Zoe. Yes, I think you're right, Zoe and Enu will make an interesting pair and I'm sure they will be the greatest of friends.

By the way, I would like to see Shepherd walking about the place - I wonder if she walks like a deer on hind legs. I suppose maybe the reason they do not have Shepherd walking around is because they cannot make it look graceful and this may spoil her image.

Vainamoinen: I hope they get around to animating Shepherd... I'd rather see the Elgwans moving around a bit more, though. :)

Joseph1957: What do the Elgwans look like, I have not seen them in the list of Dreamfall characters?

just seen them "Alewangs".

Vainamoinen: What am I making all those screenshots for? ;)

Elgwans have been in every installment of The Longest Journey in some form. They're like the go to Arcadian animal. :)

Pax11: Why is the title to this thread a spoiler? Is it possible to change it? I came here awhile back, prior to purchasing Dreamfall: The Longest Journey to perhaps get some clarification on some of the reviews I saw, and a thread on the first page is a spoiler for the second game.

James175: Joseph1957

Please don't spoil the game for the rest of us that are new to the series :(

I'm trying to avoid reading the other posts in this thread to avoid any other spoilers.

Vainamoinen: Actually, it's a very misleading title.

If you haven't read the posts and haven't played Dreamfall, you have almost NOT been spoiled, I think. :)
