Every time Abathur said "evolution complete" during the campaign, all i could think about was why the hell he isn't the voice for multiplayer

Yeah, his voice is really good. Maybe they should make some new rewards for leveling, like advisor voices for each race? Like 2 alternative voices:

Abathur (or Zurvan) and Kerrigan for Zerg.
Raynor and Mengsk for Terrans.
Zeratul and Selendis for Protoss.

It can be nice addition. For example Terrans have female Adjutant voice, so why not give them two another male voices. Or Protoss with Executor. They can have one female (Selendis or Mothership) and one male voice (Zeratul or other oldman voice). For Zergs same. Something similar to male voice aka Abathur/Zurvan/Dehaka and one alternate female voice as Kerrigan.

Also you can hear advisor voices when controlling AI. For example Kerrigan talks quotes like "Attacking enemy!", "Swarm rules!", "We must expand!", etc Her voice is epic in AI-control mode.

Abathurs voice also sounds a lot like Wrex from Mass Effect. Loved that guy. Is it the same voice actor?

Actually i am almost certain that Abathu's voice is the same as the Sovereign.

Btw someone cares to explain about why is creepy the spanish queen's voice ?, since i am spanish i miss that detail (not hating i actually play with english voices), it sounds like a raspy mommah voice to me.

Good voice acting. Bad writing.

Karrigan: "Dehaka, how ar--"
Dehaka: "ESSENCE ESSENCE ESSENCE ESSENCE ESSENCE ESSENCE ESSENCE ESSENCE ESSENCE ESSENCE ESSENCE ESSENCE ESSENCE"
Karrigan: "Silence, Dehaka! I want yo--"
Dehaka: "ESSENCEESSENCEESSENCEESSENCEESSENCEESSENCEESSENCEESSENCEESSENCEESSENCEESSENCEESSENCEESSENCEESSENCEESSENCEESSENCEESSENCEESSENCEESSENCEESSENCEESSENCEESSENCEESSENCEESSENCEESSENCEESSENCEESSENCEESSENCEESSENCEESSENCEESSENCEESSENCEESSENCEESSENCEESSENCEESSENCEESSENCEESSENCEESSENCEESSENCEESSENCEESSENCEESSENCEESSENCEESSENCEESSENCEESSENCEESSENCEESSENCE"

If there were to be a drinking game for the campaign, it would be to take a shot every time essence is mentioned.

Probably because it's different from all other Queens?

That would be super awesome.
It would give each player a little bit more customisations other than just skin and the logo thing (talking about in game appearance)
Shame this idea wasn't mentioned during beta...

Keep in mind the Chinese voices in the OP is dubbed by voice actors from Taiwan, there is another type of voice dubbed by Mainland China which is only available to Chinese server, and which imo is better than the Taiwanese version.

Abathur is played by Steven Blum which is Grunt in Mass Effect 2 and 3, not Wrex. He also played Dehaka and Yagdra (surprise!).

Oh good to know, love Steven Blum man. So many badass characters :d

And where do i have to sign up for the different voices when playing ? They could also add taunts to the opponent using their voices and stuff like that. But i guess that could work for a f2p multiplayer model best

I didn't make petition or something like that. First because this simply discussion thread isn't popular so it means that everyone is okay with current queen voices and don't care about that

If Abathur becomes the Zerg multiplayer voice I'll probably make 'em my main race. :D

I would love this so much. Even if they made us pay a dollar or two for the new voices, I honestly wouldn't mind.

hate all, Just bring in abathur. Never liked the female voice announcer for zerg, needs to go back to abathur style like broodwar.

totally agree, mayby Blizzard should include different unlockable announcers for each race.
Like:
Zerg: Abathur, Kerrigan and some from bw like overmind, celebrates
Terran: Raynor, Mengsk, Stukov, Mira Han, Duke
Protoss: zeratul, selendis, aldaris, fenix, Raszagal, tassadar

Easier said than done when you have to do the voiceovers in 10 different languages or so.

All for a feature that is "cool" but ultimately unnecessary.

ofc it's not like "whoaa lets make this, patch will be rdy in 2 days". But considering LoV is under developement, it's a great thing to have unlockable announcers implemented along with the new expansion

Abathur's voice is so fucking epic. It's a shame there isn't more of us who'd join in polls and ask Blizzard for Abathur's voice in multiplayer.

It will require at least 10 localizations for each country, but they can implement something like that with Legacy of the Void, I mean add new advisor voices for each race as unlockables for new levels
