The Cast Of Critical Role Will Be Doing Voices In Pillars Of Eternity II
Matt Mercer, who does a few voices for Obsidian's Pillars of Eternity and will be returning for Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire. He will be also joined by the rest of his Critical Role friends.
The announcement was made during a panel at this year's PAX East. For those not in the know, Critical Role is a popular web series in which several prominent voice actors play Dungeons and Dragons. Mercer's Critical Role colleagues have quite the pedigree; among them are Laura Bailey (who's voiced Rise Kujikawa in Persona 4, Chun-Li in several Street Fighter games, and more), Ashley Johnson (Ellie from The Last of Us), and Sam Riegel (Phoenix Wright in the Ace Attorney series, as well as Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3), and more.

Our Take
I'm not familiar with Critical Role myself, but with the talent attached to the series, this seems like a good addition to PoE II.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
