Props to Anet for making Scarlet sound more adult and menacing then childish

more of it haha.

It will make more sense by the end of the season.

Whatever the reason for a change, lore-wise or they simply changed it because people (including myself) hated the old voice it’s great.
It’s tied to lore and the current story.

We have to piece it together, there’s almost nothing to go on. Everything’s going to be revealed at the end. So why don’t we just skip to the last chapter, and read the wrap up?
That’s not really true. There’s a lot of information in the game, but it’s been spread across multiple releases. If anything, the theorycrafting on Scarlet that I’ve seen on these forums and on Reddit are fantastic. We’re lucky to have a really smart fanbase that is connecting the dots. That’s not to say everyone is right—there’s probably one accurate guess out of a thousand. We want to get people talking and guessing.
But to answer your question, if you’d rather be told the details, they will be revealed by the end of the season. I can’t say when or how. This is a spoiler-free zone.

I don’t want to be told the details, I want the details to come out during the course of the story, rather than in a big info dump at the end. Might you tell us what you feel we’ve learned from the living story thus far?
Totally understood. It’s something that I think we’re getting better at as time goes on, but I agree that we were slow to connect the dots earlier in the season. One thing that we learned was that there are players who do appreciate story instances and character moments, and that we need to work harder to get them in the game so that people can better understand the story and care about the characters. We unfortunately let a few of them slip through the cracks and as a result it’s made the story appear fragmented.

“One out of ten thousand” was also mentioned publicly… Thing is, having a sub-one-percent success rate actually points to not connecting to your audience very effectively. More than 99% of your active and engaged audience just don’t get it.
You may be over-doing the mystery/twist a bit

Disclosure: 1/10,000 is hyperbole.
But I get where folks are coming from, and this feedback has been noted. I think we can drop more hints along the way without spoiling too much in the future.

I’ve said harsh things about the early part of the Scarlet arc and I stand by them as being true of that time. But the last 2-3 episodes have shown dramatic growth. The recaps have be entertaining and well delivered. Scarlet has become more compelling and more frightening. I feel more involved in the story from within the game rather than chasing after supplementary texts. I am genuinely hopeful that the climax will achieve something we talk about with fond remembrance in years to come. I do want to be able to tell my friends, “It had a rough start, but look how far they’ve come.”
Thanks for the feedback. I’m hoping that people will notice a difference in the 2014 LW releases.

Now I’m wondering if that 1 out of 10,000 theories was on this forum, or on Reddit.
I’ve seen some pretty good guesses here and on Reddit.

My guess is Bobby got his wife to do the new voice parts, which scored him many brownie points with ANet for saving money and wife-points by getting his wife to be a star.
No, it’s the same voice actress, just using a less energetic tone and inflection.
Correct. The change in tone matches up with a sequence of events.
