Eh, I really didn't take to the "Betrayal can never be forgiven line." I seriously thought that it was Jondar saying that the first time because the tone was so menacing. Seemed very untemplarlike to me, I mean, if vengeance is your thing, and his tone screams vengeance more than anything else to me, then the Three have a great contract they'd like to run by you
About that.. If you talk to the templar in town (I forget which character litterally says it) but all of them are pretty much the same, He is a criminal that became a templar in attonement for his evil doings. Personally, I think the templar was once a murderer, That's not the only menacing line he says..
For example, "I tried to count how many we've killed, but I've lost track."
the way he says "But i've lost track" sounds as like a fking serial killer.
Straight from lore/wiki:
"
The templar are holy warriors, fighting for justice and eschewing the dangers that lead to cultism and demonic possession by espousing self-denial. They do not merely pay lip service to protecting the realm - they are battle-trained and experienced to a man, and the brooding, dedicated Kormac is a paragon among them.
Kormac came to the order as a young man, and was quickly molded into the ideal templar, adapting naturally to an ascetic way of life. His devotion is particularly unshakable, even for one of his order, and, despite his respect for battle prowess, his disdain for those who don't share his high moral standards is readily apparent.
Though Kormac's ways will not always be your own, your aims and goals align, and so he will fight alongside you to purge the world of the insidious darkness that would hide from the light of Heaven. [1] When asked by the Barbarian, it is confirmed that Kormac was once a criminal before joining the Templar order."
It's fine. Sometimes it's a little over the top (Templar) or cheesy (Skeleton King: "Yoou will never defeat meee!" As if every other villain in the world hasn't said that already). The Templar himself has kinda become a running joke with his crazy lines.
JONDAAAAH.
The voice acting is bad.... BUT THE WILL OF THE TEMPLAR IS STRONGER!!!
But bad is both literal and figurative foe of voice acting!
This is good.
My only qualm is hearing them over and over again. THAT gets annoying. I don't care about your fuckin' criminal system, Templar, just shuddap and meat shield!

"The Unchosen" Pain of Admirance Sigil (For those without -Feat of Strength-):
I didn't mind the voicing and much as just when the dialog is used. Back and forth banter and one liners every once and a while started to annoy me. The talking between your character and the who ever you are talking too seems so rushed like they can only describe everything in one sentence. I preferred the longer more detailed dialog of just one person talking at you.
Having your own character talk doesn't add anything more then that class adding some quick remark that sounds like something they would say. Like a witch doctor adding in "May the spirits look upon you friendly" or something as a good bye because a witch doctor might say that. I think I really just don't like having your character talk on his own, imagine playing Zelda where Link always has a witty remark or battle cry when playing or talking to people.
To be honest I loved the voice acting!
The king Leoric yelling at us "You will never defeat me!!!!" sounded amazing. Really well done.
The templar voicing sounded a bit strange though? I'm not sure it's hard to explain :P.
One thing that I really liked too was the voice acting for the classes. All spot on with what (I believe) they should sound like. Really well done on this one.
It's good to not hear voices from their other games. Hearing SC2 voices in WoW was a bit of a let down..

My only issue is the same as in many games, the awkward cut/pauses between sentences due to every sentences being individuals samples.
On the other hand I'm not a native English speaker, detecting bad acting in foreign languages even with 100% comprehension is always harder unless is VERY bad.

The Templar Kormac is slightly annoying. Haven't really noted anything else other then Marco is now DEAD and Jondarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
why do people hate the male DH VA, i like how he sounds... not blown away but he is far from bad <_<
the only line that annoyed me was leorics "you will never defeat me" also "light is both literal and figurative foe of evil!" was annoying because i kept hearing it like every 20secs, maybe they should reduce the frequency of these little chats.
