I'm sure people who are REALLY into Critical Role (D&D Podcast/Twitch stream), and/or Pillars of Eternity II already know this, but it was a shock to me (as someone who is probably only 50 episodes deep into Critical Role), but your main character in this game can be "voiced" by any of the characters from the Vox Machina Critical Role campaign. So like, I chose a big brutish barbarian with berserker perks and it's voiced by Travis Willingham doing his Grog voice...which again...this a pretty niche thing that you've gotta be into, but I think it's cool as hell. But you can pick any of their voices; Keyleth, Pike, Vex, Vax, Scanlon, Percival, and I'm pretty sure you can choose a Matt Mercer voice too.
When I say "voiced", it's because as far as I can tell, your character is basically a silent protag, so you're mostly just getting the grunts and groans and "yeahh"'s and stuff like that, but it's still pretty dope. That part all seems really cool. I really didn't get much past the character creation stuff at all, but I'm looking forward to getting into it this weekend, and this Vox Machina stuff just sweetened the pot for me.
