How about some love for the actors and writers?

Submitted 2 years, 5 months ago by

I know we all like to argue here about game design, card balance, etc, but can we all agree that the people who write and voice the characters in the game are super talented, creative and awesome? I always laugh at some lines, no matter how often I've heard them. I particularly enjoy Tavish's "My beard has FLEAS scarier than you!" and literally every single one of Squeamlish's lines from the Rise of Shadows adventure.

Sure, we've all hated sitting there listening to "Hey loser! ... Wasn't me!" over and over again, but even then it's still pretty funny.

Kudos to Hearthstone's creative writers and actors! I hope some of them see this post.

    Yep, totally agree! Hearthstone's VA and writing team are awesome!

    Too bad there's no way to know who they are, Blizzard, why isn't there a credits section in the game?

    I'm adding artists to the score. It's certainly a thing that MTGA is doing better.

    Totally, art and voices of cards are as important as the effects of cards themselves for ppl to enjoy playing them, sometimes even more so. Artists are usually credited when you look up the card in your collection, but writers of flavor texts or voice actors are not. I mean it makes sense, it would get clunky with "too much info", but i believe you can look some of them up online and shoot them a msg on twitter or something to tell them how much you enjoy their work. I think they would appreciate that for sure :)
