To clarify, these weren't added with patch 5. These have been in the game since at least patch 2. I'd previously uploaded them as part of a compilation of two "unknown" voices, but since this could possibly be Helia I decided to reupload it.
Since she's a werewolf, I wonder if that bone cage in camp is for her on the full moon? Not sure if she's still supposed to be one though, or if it's a scrapped design. Love your videos as usual Chubblot, keep up the great content!
@@Foodisgood Don't know anything about Karlach, but I'm sure people being horny for Halsin made them change him from NPC into companion I don't have problems with his character, but with Jaheira, having 2 Druids AND elves is just dumb, BG3 suffers from having too many same race companions Here's coping they could add a companion in future definitive edition, Dwarf, Gnome, Halfling, even Dragonborn or Half-Orc that got here in late dev, there are options to take
@@spicydong317that would really explain how halsin doesent react to anything that happens in camp and how after act 2 he becomes super irrelevant.

I think this is going to be a fan favorite... However I'm sort of curious because she is narrating some of the OG narrator lines & thinking along with some uttered generic lines from the Tav/Companion playthroughs. This leads me to believe that the Origin Character would be either self-narrated so they can be more personalized or/and Larian is working of voicing the solo playthroughs. Exciting... I approve.
Actually the first person narration is a holdover from earlier on in development. The first gameplay stream Swen did before EA released had Astarion as the narrator and people reacted negatively to it, so they changed the narration style. If you check out the companion voice lines I have uploaded you'll hear that they all have quite a lot of narrative lines (except Karlach). The Tav voices also have them.
@@Chubblot Thanks for clearing that up. I would prefer it if it was the case of self-narration but if the majority dislikes it, I understand the decision. Plus, it would definitely save a looooot of money if they only had to pay ONE narrator :D
@@Chubblot Aw man, I didn't even know that. People reacting negatively to that makes me sad, since I feel like its maybe more that people are having an issue with Astarion than with the character narration itself - I can get the dislike of the character, sure, but ? Neil Newbon is really good at what he does, so that just seems sort of unfair. I mean, you can tell he put in the work. It makes me wonder if it'd have gone over better had they used Gale, or Shadowheart, or basically anyone else.
I might be wrong, but I think it's actually one of Tav's female voices. Different lines for different races and different lines for cleric picks. Not sure, though.
It puzzled me what bow she was refering to by "now the flames sputtered away, the bow was mine to taking" ... Then i heared the same sentence for Dagger ... Could it be Sussur Tree Bark ... enchanting A BOW??? O_o Oh my ... that would be some powerfull anticaster Ranger build. :3
Tragic. Hopefully if they add her the player can become a werewolf before act 3 without using her as an origin. Becoming a vampire takes an entire playthrough, and dedicated romance which is rough.
ooooh I hope you're right, this voice has a lot of character! Honestly can't tell what age she'd be in that case (mostly because of the slight raspiness? which I love, mind you), but I've been excited to see what she'd look like for a while - hope we get more information at the next patch. Just skipping around, at 46:33 "To it, I wasn't a halfling." it sounds a little chopped so can't tell if what comes after belongs to this dialogue lol - another point for her being a halfling, if this isnt a Tav voice :) (+ what is she sniffing?? there's a bunch of places where she does this, do the other companions/tav voices have this? if not, might be werewolf related, so +1 for this being Helia!) edit: 51:31 "The crab tasted cold and briney. Squirming even after I bit down. It didn't stop moving until I swallowed." 53:49 "I swallowed the briney meat whole. Whether the crab died from my mouth or simple shock, was unclear." yeah this doesnt sound like normal people behaviour lmao
@@akaSnockis yeah makes sense, i figured it'd be werewolf related because ive never heard any of the other companions make sniffing noises in their audio files haha
@@greatpineapple5314 Why? The only good ones so far will be Helia, Minsc and Karlach. While we've got evil ones like Gale, Shart, Lae'zel, Astarion and Wyll

@@NikELbErGErBergel Conspiracy theory? The information is out there, Larian has stated that they'll offer the evil companions first for us. Wyll is cruel, Gale is self-serving, and that's a fact.
Are we no longer friends Chubblot? I cant call you Chubblot anymore? Also, she sounds a lot like Sara from Dragon Age Inquisition in some of the takes, is it the same voice actress?
@@darcus5712 We don't ultimately know for sure what she'll be but the information we've had since patch 2 is: She has the Bard tag. Her stats are "Player_POC_Bard." Her old lady assets are not unique. She's described as "the werewolf origin." Astarion mentions she's a werewolf. Lae'zel calls her a halfling, Astarion calls her a gnome.

RIP Helia, I was so looking forward to her.
From the sounds of these clips, she sounded like a poet who narrated her own adventure? This seems very interesting.
No. The early renditions of EA had main characters narrating their story instead of wonderful Amelia Tyler
@@It9LpBFS37 Oh. I didn't know that. Would have been cool if it were a unique feature to specific origin characters.
her tone is so soothing, I love how she sounds!
Since she's a werewolf, I wonder if that bone cage in camp is for her on the full moon? Not sure if she's still supposed to be one though, or if it's a scrapped design.
Love your videos as usual Chubblot, keep up the great content!
A lot of those sound like her telling stories, love that for a bard follower
We could have had an Old lady as companion? not only that but a WEREWOLF old lady? i'm so sad man
We've already got an old lady companion
@@Dogtles yeah but she's boring
@@mausebas you're boring
@@mausebas wtf, jaheira's one of the funniest companions
@@michaelk9279 Problem with her is to many fucking elf in our team...
Helia, best blast gnome, chatty lizard, Salzza, and Alfira should have been addition companions
Well...if we have the voice lines, modding a character in with all this is potentially possible?
Who needs a *halfling-werewolf* as a companion when we could have _more_ humans or elves as companions? I don't think we have enough of them tbh.
A bard companion? Meh
Let's give them a second druid
@@spicydong317There’s already two Druids. Give us a third Druid! Lmao
She got scrapped because people were sperging out about it looking like pdf stuff.
@@totalrkoAnother Larian L. Halsin got added because of some horny mf and they give in and turns out Halsin is a sheet companion.
@@totalrkoHelia’s image has been attributed to an elderly halfling…your comment is entirely out of pocket.
Me: So they're saving the good characters until later, so hopefully Helia will-
Helia: *It would have been quicker to kill them*
Me: ...
Damn, I'm upset she wasn't added.
Me too. This is a lot of voice acting for them not to put into the game, so hopefully it’ll get patched in or become DLC somehow.
She was cut to make Karlach a companion it was one or the other.
This probably is Helia, I'd say. One of her voice lines refers to "my tail," and it seems to be a unique one.
I'm so mad she wasn't added >: (
Well people in early access demanded Karlach and Halsin become companions so obviously someone had to be cut.
@@Foodisgood honestly I'd rather they have cut Minsc, he feels like such a nothing companion anyway
@@teneaux2210His role was actually heavily reduced because of Karlach and Halsin. He was going to be an origin companion and in act 1.
@@Foodisgood Don't know anything about Karlach, but I'm sure people being horny for Halsin made them change him from NPC into companion
I don't have problems with his character, but with Jaheira, having 2 Druids AND elves is just dumb, BG3 suffers from having too many same race companions
Here's coping they could add a companion in future definitive edition, Dwarf, Gnome, Halfling, even Dragonborn or Half-Orc that got here in late dev, there are options to take

This is supposed to be the Bard origin character, Love it
yea really wish they had added her lol. maybe dlc
Larian, pls give us this character ;w;

I really want to see who they Minsc as voice actor, I hope it's the original.
Mfing Matt mercer hell yeah!
It puzzled me what bow she was refering to by "now the flames sputtered away, the bow was mine to taking" ...
Then i heared the same sentence for Dagger ...
Could it be Sussur Tree Bark ... enchanting A BOW??? O_o
Oh my ... that would be some powerfull anticaster Ranger build. :3

Vampire spawn specifically iirc

The sniffing part could be the "keen hearing and smell" trait that werewolves has.

I don’t think so. She’s had other serious VA roles and they don’t sound like these. See Titania and Y’shtola, both from FFXIV

Not for a while yet I'm afraid!
@@Chubblot dang it, i love your work
She kinda sounds like Sera from DAI
I was just going to post this myself. (A little late on seeing this video) 😊
Then Iam glad they never added her
Doesn't sound like an old woman))
not at all! I was thinking the same :)
Sera is that you?
and do we know her class with thoses files btw?
She's had the bard stat block and tag since patch 2. So bard is my best guess.
