Still Haven't Heard Enough Of Khasra! (October 3, 2016)

[ChrisReid]

David Lanzafame got a great response to his WC2 Thrakhath/Emperor voiceover recreation, so he's gone ahead and rerecorded the entire intro. He voices a pretty compelling Blair, and his Khasra effect is an interesting choice. When they originally made Wing Commander 2, could they have possibly imagined people would be doing their own impersonations of Thrakhath's cousin more than twenty-five years later?!

I didn't. I never really gave it much thought, I guess, but it does seem like a pretty appropriate voice for that character. There was a very subtle thing that needed to be done with the Kilrathi characters - they all represent the evil Empire, but some are eviller than others. I think Khasra really worked from that perspective - the voice made it clear that this is not a typical retainer, and that there is some power behind him. This, I think, becomes all the more significant in retrospect. When WC3 came along, the moment we heard Melek, we understood that no, this time round there will not be any politics involved on the Kilrathi side.

As I've stated on Youtube already, I think this has the potential of becoming an entirely new speech pack for the game.
