Whomever the voice actor was, they need to rip her voice out, and replace her with a decent actor from the region.
Redacting this writing team would also help. I want my gobbies going back to proper gobbiespeak.

I thought his accent and voice acting was fine enough, so I don't really agree. I'm not attached though, so if they replaced him with someone who *was* better, I wouldn't be opposed. But Wuk's voice wasn't her problem, imo.
Gulool's accent made me turn on UI to see speech bubble in voiced scenes, when normally I can hide it. lol I dunno if you'd consider being hard to understand to be a good thing or a bad thing, though?
Also, I don't disagree abotu the localization team making... interesting choices they probably shouldn't have. Like the "it should be in a museum" optional dungeon quest had us talking to a giant at one point and the sentence "They looked after me when I came here previously to conduct fieldwork, and are an extraordinarily erudite individual, well-versed in ancient legends." was said. I can only assume this was either some attempt to inject gender ideology into the english version of the game and make one of the giants non-binary, even though they've clearly mentioned the giants as being male and female in the msq and other side quests; or an overlooked grammatical error since a plural they can't be a singular individual, unless we're talking weird cases like Bakool and Gulool, and even then the confusion is still social.
At least the moblins were sticking to their own conventions of gobbiespeak, not just being translated however the localization team felt like at the time. Though they did miss one instance of "lowlander" and called us "highlander" or "uplander" (I forget which) in one of the chat bubbles that I noticed, so even then it wasn't perfect.
