It was a placeholder but nobody came up with a better name before launch of the first game.

The race of dogmatic religious fanatics named after the Qur'an were described as "Militant Islamic Borg" by their writer. Maybe let the Thedas thing slide when Bioware has that particular yikes under their writing belt. Dragon Age 2 was a mistake. EDIT: I just remembered that the entire plot regarding the Qunari in DA2 revolved around Isabella stealing their holy book for shits and giggles so they decide to launch a jihad against the city to get it back.

General question regarding singing in anime. Is it considered standard practice for a voice actor to be expected to sing when their characters sing ala Paige O'Hara in Beauty and the Beast or is it more common to have a voice actor do the talky bits and then a singer soundalike to do the singing bits ala Matthew Broderick/Joseph Williams in Lion King?

whenever an anime casts separate speaking and singing voices, almost always seems to me that they cast the singing voice first and then realize they can't act and need an actor, rather than realizing their actor can't sing. I guess thats the opposite of disney movies

I guess thats the opposite of disney movies I wonder what the stage-to-voice acting pipeline is like in Japan. I know that quite a few voice actors in the anglosphere got their start doing stage work where you pretty much have to rely on your voice to convey information since the people at the back won't be making out the complexities of your facial expressions. It's a different skill set to be sure but it has a fair amount of overlap.

Or if music is a large part of the anime, the singing voice is someone in the music industry who would be more available and able to do stuff like record albums and do live shows.

And the actors who cannot sing do stuff that they usually do for acting but is terrible for singing, like Hugh Jackman dehydrating himself for muscle definition when he was playing Valjean

Most seiyuu tend to do the singing themselves, only case I can really remember where a show actually had a different singing voice and character voice for a character was Kongming, though I'm sure there are probably others I've seen but didn't realise

It's considered a bad action if you call Isabella out on this and the game really wants you to feel bad if you tell her to gently caress off lol. What a terrible game.

The game also wants you to feel bad if you tell the lunatic Anders to gently caress off after he does fantasy 9/11 on a church. GateOfD posted:seems common when the show is strictly about singing. This one I can understand because the songs are all in English and casting someone who can act in Japanese and also sing fluently in a different language seems like a logistical challenge.

GateOfD posted:seems common when the show is strictly about singing. Well in C&T's case it's cause the songs were in English (except for the one French one). I guess Kongming's were as well, though uh, I wouldn't say Eiko's singer had particularly great English either lol. Though that might just be on the lyrics more than the singer herself

Rewatching Horimiya with the dub this time. It's pretty solid and the actors are nailing the all important Dudes Rock energy the main cast has. EDit: also one of the google auto-fills for Horimiya is "Is horimiya toxic"  People really cannot handle a slightly rude woman, can they?
