My favorite disembodied voice will probably always be System from BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle. Short description: What if GLADoS ran a fighting tournament? An artifical intelligence locked within an artifact known as the Keystone (by none other than Rachel Alucard's father), System has the power to create a sort of in-between dimension composed of several realities' worth of worlds, including the people in those worlds. She (yes, the voice is female) gives each group a piece of the Keystone and tells them they need to protect it and/or take the others if they want to go back to their original worlds (each group gets varied information). And all the while, she comes off as an overexcited tournament announcer who just loves to mess with whoever the focus character is. Like I said, the best comparison to make is to GLADoS, as she pops in suddenly, delivers comedically frustrating dialogue, and has complete control over her created world. While she does have a physical form, it's only during her boss battles, when the battle data she collects from the Keystone holders gives her the power to do so. I get that not a lot of people will have played this game, but I think it's worth it just for System alone.

One of my favorite video game disembodied voices is the clone trooper logging entries into the 501st Journal from the original Battlefront II (2005) campaign. Temuera Morrison, the actor for Jango Fett and the clones reprises the role, too. This to me was Morrison's time to shine in Star Wars, where he delivered a great performance of a weary soldier reminiscing about the events of the films, not from the heroes' point of view like we were used to - but from a clone's perspective (with some creative liberties). Crazy to think that using crude cutscenes with in-game assets, a simple voiceover between missions, recycled music from the films, and a few movie clips, LucasArts made a vastly more compelling campaign in 2005 with around a year of development time than EA could in 2017 with a triple-A budget, shiny new graphics and animations, and double the amount of time. I'll end this comment with my favorite journal entry from the game: _"What I remember about the rise of the Empire is... is how quiet it was. During the waning hours of the Clone Wars, the 501st Legion was discreetly transferred back to Coruscant. It was a silent trip. We all knew what was about to happen, what we were about to do. Did we have any doubts? Any private traitorous thoughts? Perhaps, but no one said a word. Not on the flight back to Coruscant, not when Order 66 came down, and not when we marched into the Jedi Temple. Not a word."_

Personally speaking, one of my favourite disembodied voices is the narrator from Hades. There's something about the way he talks and describes the events in game, he sounds just like how you think a guy telling a story about the underworld would. And the interactions he has with Zagreus (though admittedly one-sided since one is committed to not get involved) add a lot of personality to the game. Also, SPOILERS INCOMING: The fact that it's because Zag can hear him speak about his true mother and THAT being the main reason as to why he sets out on this journey was hilarious to me. He's just the guy telling the story, he's not supposed to get involved. Yet it's a result of his direct actions that, basically caused the main plot of the game to happen. Now THAT'S glorious.

Some of the things currently adding confusion is a living metal holding the souls of the dead, multiple purple guys and, I kid you not, a time travelling ball pit from the second line of books. Paired with the ever changing nature of the theories, and the word confusing becomes more than appropriate.

My personal favorite disembodied voice is one you meet early on in BioShock, as early as Welcome to Rapture. No, I'm not talking about Atlas/Fontaine, you see him multiple times throughout BioShock, and he really can't count as a Disembodied Voice. No, who I'm talking about is Andrew Ryan. When you first meet him, you're trapped in a room, and a Projector flickers to life, where Ryan himself asks you who sent you: The KGB, or the CIA, and says that he's not going to let you just freely explore his city. In Medical Pavilion (The Most Terrifying Chapter without the Rosebud Splicer IMO), he puts a Bounty on your head worthy of 1000 ADAM. Several Splicers try to reach that Bounty when you get the Incinerate Plasmid, and when Jack's in Neptune's Bounty, he talks to him personally on his Short Wave Radio, saying that if he presses the button, then they're true enemies from that point onward. We know what Ryan looks like, sure, but the fact you don't meet him face to face until the near end makes him not only intimidating, but powerful through manipulation and Rapture's Politics. He was also capable to crack the code behind Jack, and even uses the 'Would You Kindly' Trigger Phrase to prove that Jack was not acting of his own free will, rather on the orders of Fontaine, who nobody knew was still alive other than those Jack had killed earlier, which leads to his eventual death. Ryan possibly even knew about Jack being his Bastard Son, and before Jack meets Ryan in his office, he says "Come now my child, there's one final thing to discuss." I know I've gone on for way too long, but I can't help it, BioShock's a masterpiece when it comes to storytelling.

Insert Randy Orton joke here..... But in all seriousness, great list man! Possibly one of my favourites from you, I really liked that this was essentialy an essay about narrators, and the fact that it features a lot of games I wouldn’t otherwise expect you to talk about (though I TOTALLY called like 50% of this list) This really made me appreciate the narrator as a narrative device more than I already did, the only real gripe I have is the exclusion of the narrator of the LittleBigPlanet games, partly because I want more people talking about those games (especially after the fiasco that was the third game 😖) and the fact that the Narrator is a whimsical cinnamon roll of a man that encourages creativity no matter how unorthodox, as an autistic man who spends his free time creating stupid little things like original characters, stories, drawings, and Mario maker levels that probably no one but me will know exists, that really resonated with me and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t disappointed in the lack of a mention, but then again from what I know about you, LBP probably isn’t your kind of game, and granted, the narrator only really matters during the tutorials of the game, and not the actual levels, probably not as thematically nuanced as what did make the list. so I’d understand the exclusion even if you were familiar. Apologies if this doesn’t make any sense, I’m not good at the whole speaking thing. But my soap box aside, keep on keepin’ on Oscar! Can’t wait for the next one!

I know that the narrator of the Stanley Parable is more iconic, but I am kind of sad that the Narrator of the Beginner's Guide didn't make it onto the list. He completely strings you along throughout the game, pretending to be this objective observer telling you about his old friend and the games he left behind, only for the game to slowly reveal that he isn't entirely what he appears to be. The reveal behind his true nature (which I won't give away because that twist deserves to be experienced blind) makes you question everything that you have gone through and raises some really fascinating questions, it becomes even more interesting when you learn the true context behind the game itself.

Nicely done, but I must admit, I feel there's one disembodied voice who should've been included. It is the big bad of an infamous horror game. I admit, I see the logic in the usual 'only video game characters' rule, as he and the game were originally a short story. On the other hand, the game's story goes in a very different direction and the disembodied voice of the game doesn't actually speak out loud, his only dialogue being neon text on a steel pillar. So, with all that in mind, let's talk about AM of I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream. Originally built as a supercomputer to control all of America's nukes during the Cold War, AM was accidentally given sentience, hence how he came up with his own name: I think therefore I AM. And soon after, he realized how trapped he was, unable to experience the world in the wires and circuits that housed him and went mad with rage. So, he proceeded to hack into and take control of his Russian and Chinese equivalents, discovered Dr. Nimdok's morphogenetic research, then destroyed the world and most of humanity, the only survivors being a colony on the moon in cryosleep and 5 people AM kept for himself for his own sick amusement. The Anarchic AI then spent over a century tormenting his playthings, not needing to worry about death, including aging or starvation, thanks to the research he obtained. They can still die, feel painful hunger, or whatever else AM wants to inflict, but unless they leave his area, which he can easily influence them not to, he has full control over their states. Hell, he even mutated Benny from his handsome self into an ape-like creature, and even changed his sexuality to torment Ellen. He also created special scenarios he forces the humans to go through to torment them more. How he does this isn't exactly clear, either making an environment for each of them or downloading their minds into digital settings. Either way, it's pretty sick and they can feel everything. Gorister has his heart removed and has to find it while dealing with his wife who went insane and her parents who hate him. Ellen has to go through a yellow environment after being traumatized and associating yellow with her trauma. Ted as to undergo a fairytale story to save a princess while staying faithful or being punished. Benny has to survive in a primative village that makes sacrifices to AM. And Nimdok has to go through a Nazi Concentration camp to 'find the lost tribe.' And even in the ways they win their scenarios can be pretty horrifying. However, AM isn't the only computer here. The Russian and Chinese supercomputers, as well as a rogue subroutine named Surgot, manage to help the humans win, causing AM's mind to retreat into itself. It's here we get the closest 'look' at AM, and even then, it's representations of his ego, superego, and id. Depending on your actions, you can shut AM and the others down, taking their place and shepherding the humans on the moon. Or, you could end up with AM so furious, he turns you into a massive abomination that can barely move and is no longer able to do anything that could upset AM again. And that's not even getting into his voice actor, the writer of both the short story and the game himself, Harlen Elison. And he is equal parts over-the-top and maniacal, which is perfect for AM's god complex. I highly recommend looking up the opening to the game to get a good introduction to the game, the humans, and AM himself. This is one Diabolus ex Machina who makes you fear for his subjects, but also makes you want to see what he does next. One minute, he's chastising Gorister for trying to blow himself up, the next, he's making a Wizard of Oz reference while accepting a sacrifice.

Does Tiny Tina count as a disembodied voice specifically during the Bunkers and Badasses DLC? Specially when it comes to the fact that it was the game she was managing during this DLC being her means to cope with the death of Roland who she saw as a second father.

You know, there’s a thought. Bring a character from madworld into death battle, and making have Howard and Kreese cameo.

Glad to see The Ancestor on here, personally he's my number 1, but there were a lot of solid points made and I don't think there was a single character i disagree about putting on the list.

I'll be honest. I was fully expecting Dormin from Shadow of The Colossus on here.
