Ashly Burch, voice actress for The Outer World's Parvati Holcomb, speaks on the popularity of the character

While Switch owners are still waiting to explore The Outer Worlds, the game has had time to find millions of fans on other platforms. Many of those fans have really taken a liking to one of the game's characters, Parvati Holcomb. In an interview with Comicbook.com, Ashly Burch, the voice of Parvati, discusses how she was taken by surprise with the fan reaction.

“I love her, and I formed an attachment to her, and I think she's a great character, but I truly, genuinely had no idea that she would garner such a response. In retrospect, it makes sense because she is representing such issues or presenting an experience that is so rarely showcased in media. So I think looking back on it now, I can see like, ‘Oh yeah, of course that would be such a powerful thing for people that identify as asexual,’ or specifically even biromantic and asexual.

...For so many ... I don't think I've ever been like, ‘Ah, this is going to be a hit.’ You know what I mean? Any character that I have played, the people have responded to, you just, you love them and you put everything that you have into them and you come away from it being like, ‘Well, I love that character. So hopefully other people love that character.’ But you never really know.”
