Just throwing my two cents into the pot: I was also put off by Oberon's voice, particularly because he sounds absolutely nothing like he does in KQ7, not even close. The lisp or whatever it was didn't even bother me that much; it was just that his voice isn't as deep and powerful as Timothy White's (the voice of the original Oberon and Feldspar). Just dropping it down a couple octaves would probably make it a lot better, though it's more than likely too late for that now.
