Anyone know why Crowley sounds like he's just had his teeth punched in?
it's what happens when you're trying to fake a britsh accent :P
other british users can confirm this, but a friend of mine from england said that their accents are quite fake.
exept liam...... for some reason.

exept liam...... for some reason.Agreed, although it's a bit of an understatement. The female one I won't even mention, and the male one is like "hurr yeah let's talk like Hugh Grant". Liam sounds quite fake to me as well, not quite as fake as the others I've heard, but still fake. Maybe because I speak the particular way that it sounds like WoW is trying to replicate (but make it sound older). :P I've not bought Cata yet, but I don't know if, when I do, I'll even want to play a worgen.

In a sense, it makes me glad MY ethnic stereotype isn't in game yet.
Which would be...? :P
My main problem with the worgen voice actors is that they try to do '
the British accent
', which just
doesn't exist
, so they end up mashing together a few different ones and it sounds dreadfully fake.

it's particulary jarring when you hear the female ones saying "aint you a chippy looking one?" :P hell, english is not my main language, and even "I" could know that screamed FAKE!!!!!!!
and yep, I agree with sigma, I'm glad my ethnic group aint there either, they could go the way of Zorro, portraying a specific human nation as Badass spaniard, or (shrugs) they could go the way of Dragon Age, depicting a stereotypical latin-lover :P
frankly, just the tought of them going the second way scares the living stuffing out of me.

And the Trolls have also been thought via their loas which are supposedly aspects of the dream. I'd put it a minor notch under being thought by Cenarius himself. What the Trolls lack, however, is experience.
bro' worgens haven't been taught by cenarius himself.
only 2 races learned druidism by the C-man himself, and those were the night elves, and the taurens (altough the taurens learned druidism THOUSANDS of years ago, that practice was lost for generations, till hamuul brought it back)
Trolls earned their druidism and conection to the dream via the loas, and worgens earned their druidic touch due to their curse, and how the night elves expanded that druidic potential in them.
C-man himself hasn't taught anything at all to the worgens (what, with being dead and all that) but now that he's back, if he teaches his ways to someone, he would do so to everyone, trolls and worgens included.
I simply stated that out of the 4 druidic races, the newest ones in the fold are the worgen, as they began their path to druidism barely a year ago, whereas trolls already had druids even before "Zalazane's fall" wich happened almost 4 years ago.
as far as potential goes, all 4 races have it to do formidable feats, but it's gonna be a while before we see any badass troll or worgen druid simply because of how new they are to that path.
as an analogy, look at Draenei shaman, introduced to the game almost 4 years ago, (lorewise 8 years ago) and only now we're seeing lots and lots of them everyhwere. on TBC u could count with 1 hand how many where there, ditto for WOTLK.

the taurens (altough the taurens learned druidism THOUSANDS of years ago, that practice was lost for generations, till hamuul brought it back)
And even then, it's lost to time who actually taught them it; Night Elves and some legends say Malfurion, other legends say Cenarius and that the Tauren were taught first.

Truth is generally a reconciliation. Cenarius taught Malfurion and the Tauren.Heh, not all the time, and actually, Hamuul himself relearned the skills from Malfurion, so I guess it's both.

makes me think that Tauren and Night Elves were roughly trained by Cenarius at the same time.
And they may have been, but some of the Tauren legends say that they were the first trained, and others say Malfurion helped them at the beginning.

No one is denying that Delt, not sure where you are reading that in what we are saying. Again, the legends of both the Tauren and the Night Elves just leave it foggy which one started first or who was trained by what; yes, the Tauren learned druidism before the Sundering, but something happened that caused it to fall out of use, and 10 years ago, Malfurion, after being asked by the Tauren, helped to reintroduce it to the Tauren again.
So, for actual practitioners, it would still go Night Elves, Tauren, Trolls, then Worgen for the purpose in game. That's of course, leaving out the Furbolgs, who also have a study of it, and have probably been working it longer then the Elves, and were more then likely trained by Cenarius as well.

Would anyone else have liked to see Stephen Fry as a Worgen? :P

Which would count as 'out of universe' information; the Tauren would probably prefer it that they learned it first. As I've said, it's legends from in game/the Lore about Druids.
