Correct me if I'm wrong, but the trailer is narrated by Minsc, and I'm pretty sure he's never said those lines before. So, any word on if the original voice actors from BG1 are returning?

    I was wondering about that when I saw the trailer, Minsc definitely sounded like his old self. If he's not being done by the original voice actor, the new guy did an amazing job of recreating him.

    @Belanos Minsc has been dubbed by Jim Cummings in Siege of Dragonspear. It has been confirmed.

    So Jim Cummings is the original voice actor then? Minsc is my favourite character in these games, I wouldn't consider playing them without him in my party. It's good to know he'll be in this new instalment.

    Did I hear David Warner was back as well? Say it is so!

    I like Kevin Michael Richardsons as Sarevok a lot as well. It's awesome they actually managed to get so many of the old ones back.

    Where did they get the money to hire some of these known voice actors? They don't come by cheap.

    Sales vs Cost maybe

    As a loosely goodly aligned adventurer, yes. Yes I must. :P

    I was actually a little sad Xzar couldn't be recruited in BG2 as he is one of my favourites.
