Lucy Black as Meve – Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales
The Witcher series is no stranger to fantastic characters and strong voice performances, but Thronebreaker is something truly impressive, especially as a single player campaign to Gwent. The story revolves around Meve, Queen of Lyria and Rivia, as her lands are invaded and taken over by Nilfgaard forces.
The fascinating thing about Meve is we’re not seeing her growth into becoming queen, she’s already a strong and righteous queen, unjustly ousted from her throne. She’s an incredibly strong protagonist, and a stellar voice performance by Lucy Black helps solidify that even more.
Meve has a strong, demanding personality and she’s absolutely unflinching in her quest to take back her kingdom. Black consistently lends an air of gravitas to Meve, and as the story changes her character and hardens her, that change is represented in the voice.
There’s a ton of voiced dialogue in Thronebreaker, and Meve is consistently at the top of the pack in terms of quality.
