In each of the videos we’ve seen along the way, we’re treated to a voiceover giving some kind of teaser text. A couple have been narrated by Scarlet (Tara Strong affecting that accent the Sylvari have). Lately, however, that’s not the case.
The Tower of Nightmares video and several of those that followed have featured voiceovers by different people, male and female, and always using some sort of sound processing which usually indicates the speaker as supernatural or otherworldly. And while most of the narration contains more than a hint of implied menace, the narrator in the Battle For Lion’s Arch video is rallying Tyria to its defense and clearly appears to be on our side.
So, who is it that’s talking? Are these supposed to be actual characters? If so, we haven’t seen any of them yet, and there are at least three.
I thought for sure the Tower of Nightmares woman was going to turn out to be a krait, but they all sound quite different. Then there was speculation that the man introducing the imminent attack on LA was one of the dragons, but we haven’t seen evidence that even Zhaitan communicates in that manner.
If it IS supposed to be an ingame personage speaking during each video, someone that would have insight to the coming events or at least able to view it with some impunity, who might that be? Could this indicate the 6 gods are, in fact, taking a heavy interest behind the scenes, and might soon make an appearance?
