Renzik "The Shive" deserves more

honestly i am currently doing the Undermine storyline (took me to long to get there it has not been a good year for me)

and honestly i noticed that he is the only Goblin in the story with no voice actor…

why?

he deserves more respect blizzard, specially after what happenes to him, he used to be the only Goblin working for the SI:7 in Stormwind and he is the reason of why Gazlowe decided to finally fight Gallywix back and free Undermine.

just saying, he deserves more respect…

This part bugged me to no end.

Cant just have a Horde character do anything good for Horde reasons. Gotta be convinced by an Alliance character. Or Alliance reasons.

Same thing happened during Dragonflight with a few characters such as Sabellian. :robot::mute:

I know right I mean a voice actor for Renzik would be awesome to hear.

AFAIK, this is because his (and Geya’rah’s) VA were taking part in the SAG-AFTRA strikes, so the only work they did for TWW was earlier in development. The dialogue is keyed to have audio attached to it (other voices get interrupted whenever one of his lines appear) and hopefully they get around to filling them in now that the strike is over, but as it stands, I think Blizz made the right call by leaving them blank instead of replacing the actors.

What’s crazy is that Gazlowe had to pull a 180 to be like that, he was very interested in figuring out what was going on in Undermine during that subplot in Azj-kahet.

There’s a difference between “I want to figure out what’s going on because it sounds suspicious” and “I, personally, want to be the one goblin with a vision who leads the rebellion against all things corrupt in goblin-land”. It’s natural to have second thoughts when your job gets that much scope creep.

Peak comedy was renzik and gazlow having a deep conversation, but you only hear half of it.

Amazing zone and questline. But yea. It would be nice if he got a voice actor. But that might be a ship has sailed kind of problem now.

Probably was rushed out and they couldn’t find someone in time before the Undermine patch, so they shipped it.

It was odd, most people commented on that fact, but Blizzard never said anything about it lol.

They’re being too cheap, especially with important lore characters.

Missed opportunity to call him Renzik “The Shhh”

He had no voice lines because his voice actor, Joe Ochman, was participating in the SAG-AFTRA voice actor strike.

Therefore it would have been more disrespectful if he did have voice lines.

He got what he deserved ingame.

Blame the VA’s for the strike (good or bad it is what it is). Blizzard has tons of blame of their own to sift through and deal with.

I feel like there was a voice actors strike thing and maybe it’s a legal or contract issue if you replace them.

I dunno, not sure where I heard it, but it would explain the issue if true.

It happened with Geya’rah too, though that wasn’t a bad thing, given where she and Danath were placed.
