Pyke's Voice Is Bad
The processing on his voice feels so heavy handed and unnatural. Not in a spooky sort of unnatural way, but in a 'this is obviously the product of a program' sort of unnatural way. I'm sure there are plenty who disagree, downvote and flame away if you want, but it's just so in my face and bad that I felt the strong urge to give Riot this feedback.
In addition to it being acousticly awful, I feel like his VO lines range from lackluster to eye-rollingly bad. A lot of it feels like they're trying so hard to avoid certain cliche words and phrases that are associated with his themes that it actually stands out as awkward and forced. His word choice and phrasing suggest a far more well educated man than his story does. So much of it subtly says 'I was clearly written by someone else' when it should feel natural to the character but doesn't.
There's a strong attempt to avoid making him too much like Kalista and Nautilus but he is essentially Kalista at sea. Instead of sounding like a vengeful spirit he's a disjointed mix of sailor, Jack the Ripper, and spirit. If he's not an avatar of vengeance why does he want to kill more than his old crew?
And to top it all off he's overly calm. Why does a ghost killer hell bent on vengeance have the demeanor of a paid killer calmly stalking and catching prey? He lacks emotion (or maybe the processing is making it impossible to hear). He tells me he wants vengeance but at no point does he show it.
