Q&A Interview with the Voice of Highlander, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson

[@TheMajorN]

*For those that think my gameplay is sub-par:* You'd be right. This is the first time I played since Christmas so I was hella rusty to the point where I forgot that highlander had an offensive stance. Secondly, I was playing with some friends and we encountered a group of people that we knew so we weren't really playing seriously anyway. So yeah, the good gameplay is at the end of the video when Moron Abound let me borrow some of his footage when I didn't have enough. In other news: In case you don't have time to watch the whole interview, there are timestamps in the description with certain questions that you can skip to if you were curious, as well as the time stamp for "LMAO GET BODIED" and "SCOTLAND FOREVER".

[@Itsundeadbruh]

TheMajorN it's funny because when i lose my cool in this game and try to play it off and say lmao get bodied I would sound exactly like him.

[@GeldtheGelded]

22:29 vikings asserting dominance

[@roasty-]

7:26 That breaks my heart, because they hired a different voice actor to voice act for Highlander with the interactive voice line system that was scrapped before Marching Fire released. Ólafur was even hoping that he got to voice act more for Highlander, Ubisoft could have easily hired him again for the voice acting, yet they found another one who could never compare to Ólafur's performance. Highlander is a phenomenal character, largely due to the amazing voice acting. Same thing with Centurion.

[@burritodevil4036]

Yeah but Highlander actually spoke Scottish Gaelic in the interactive voice thing, so you can see why they would need another actor for that

[@Tacticaviator7]

@@burritodevil4036 UbiGuys should have made the actual Scottish Gaelic one a buyable customization option, same with many others because it's such a waste honestly, overall the whole dialouge system was awesome. Just imagine now if Black Prior spoke to you with some edgy proverbs while Tiandi was screeching more shit in the backround.

[@vDullahan]

[@ScottyMika1]

I’m pretty sure they just use Highlanders voice lines and grunts for the commander and guardian tbh, I don’t like he actually recorded lines for them separately

“Warriors charge!” “You helpless fool” “You think you can win?” “The gods are with me!” “I will slay the wicked!” “You are all despicable!” When was the last time you heard the Highlander say those lines

[@ZamboniBerlusconi]

So he is saying at 8:26 that he has a friend thats doing a game for ubisoft montreal right now. With him being icelandic and his friend probably also being of nordic descent, i think there may being a good chance for either the Assassin's Creed franchise to be set in the viking era (Which by the way has been trending a lot lately) OR maybe we get a cool new viking to play in For Honor soon. I am just speculating :)

[@sonofwrex]

Lukas Rønnov I was just thinking the same when I listened to that part, and it’s more than likely the rumoured Viking era Assassin’s Creed game like you said. Imagine Highlander in an AC game!

[@ZamboniBerlusconi]

@@sonofwrex It'd be a fun but different setting in the celtic era and place. I'd kinda want to see that. Haha

What a great guy. His is legitimately the reason I've been playing this game for so long as a highlander main. Now I think I'll enjoy the game even more. It fills me with hope to hear that he is open to going back for more voice work, so perhaps he might come back as Highlander again if they ever want to add more lines. I appreciate how open he was and went along with our silly requests and everything. That "LMAO GET BODIED" was something I didn't realize I needed so badly.
