8 Video Games Ruined By ONE Specific Character

6. The Narrator - Biomutant

Narrators in video games can sometimes be an utter blessing. Whether it's the charming tones of the Narrator from Bastion who reacts and reflects on your actions in amusing and clever ways, or the coy smugness with which the tale is told in Dragons Age II by Varric, having a personable storyteller can be as enjoyable as the adventure themselves.

However The Narrator from Biomutant is no such weaver of wonder, in fact, he's quite possibly the most annoying character in the entire game, and lest we not forget this is a title in which NPC's speak to you like Banjo-Kazooie rejects.

Every. Single. Action. is commented on, whether it's the moveset you're unleashing on opponents, the state of the town you're in, or weirdly about the weather above ground while you're exploring caves 100 feet below, nearly everything this Narrator says is completely and utterly superfluous.

His only job is to translate the garbled mess of grunts that the NPC's spout and even manages to be almost dismissive in doing so, giving us vague interpretations of their speech.

This, coupled with the cringe-worthy naming conventions that litter this game make you beg for the ability to bring this voice in the sky screaming down to Terra Firma, and such was the backlash against this annoying announcer, that the devs pushed through a patch to turn his speech down to the bare minimum.
