The graphics are nice, including some clever water effects, swimming fish, waving trees, and ambient wildlife like hawks. The sound effects in LoE are almost uniformly bad, though. The game's music is mediocre, the clang and noises of clashing armies is simply pathetic, and spell effects make an array of silly "whoosh" noises. A big deal was made over the caliber of voice-acting talent in the game, but even these professional actors run the gamut from barely passable to simply awful. Fairuza Balk, who provides the voice for Lady T'Kal, epitomizes the term "phoning it in," and I don't even want to talk about one of the female Dawn Brotherhood generals whose faux-Scottish accent almost made me lose my haggis.
