The English is just too artificial sounding, and the voice acting is even more stiff.
It is artificial yes, but I believe that is sort of the intent..this is fantasy, and the setting is pre-modern, so using a form of English that is not common in today's time is ideal. "Is ought amiss" sounds clunky to some, but for me (being a literature nerd ><) it didn't really strike me as such.
