I wish there was a little bit more of voice acting even if it's just a greeting especially for characters with a portrait.

I mean come on, there are single maps that are bigger than this whole maze and I don't need to load multiple times to traverse them. This is stupid. Owned lol

A little more voice acting would definitely not go amiss but something that would be an even bigger improvement IMO is giving every character you talk to more than once a portrait. I don't understand why they don't. Surely having an artist draw a few dozen quick portraits can't be that expensive can it? I played through Wrath of the Righteous recently for a second time with a mod that gives every NPC a portrait and it did wonders for helping me keep track of secondary and tertiary story lines.

In addition to more voice acting, I miss the Narrator from BG3. And I really enjoy what few cutscenes there have been, like your military parade or watching people duke it out at my inauguration ceremony

I can't speak for Owlcat in particular but a lot of artists nowadays have to pull double duty in making both the 2D and 3D assets so yeah...resources spent making more unique portraits is going to either have to be taken away from something else or to be added on top, which means cost increase. Obsidian tried to get around this in Tyranny by making all the portraits posed mannequins of the characters using the same generic poses, but it didn't actually look very good in practice. I'm all for more portraits, hell I'd love even some kind of generic guardsman or lower decks extra portrait, even if it ends up being re-used, but it does actually impose a big costs on the development budget. Voice acting is even worse tho. Larian are absolute lunatics for the amount of time and money that had to be poured into voicing every single thing, including dead people.

Runa posted:Shouting at Argenta to shoot things feels like Alicia Rush for a new generation I had to hard stop using her after I got ambushed by a pack of Necrons on Act 4 and chaining together the Inquisitor's Ring momentum buff + Argenta's personal skill on an extra turn Cassia gave her to get Finest Hour, they straight up did not get a single turn. She was using the Calibrated Heavy Stubber and by the time the last enemy had died she had ramped into doing about 70 damage per shot in a 12 shot burst and the encounter ended before I had used up the entire Finest Hour turn Alicia Rush is a really good analogy lol

It's only really bad when it's the companions who go from voiced to silent immediately. Tons of those party interjections aren't even voiced its just a text bubble above the character you might not even see.

This is a significant part of what people mean when they say "BG3 is an outlier, don't expect most folks to go as hard as Larian did". Most studios, hell most publishers, will never be able to fund voicework to the caliber and degree that Larian, backed up by WotC/Hasbro, did with BG3. Hell, with the layoffs at BG3 and the entire original BG3 licensing team at WotC disappearing, we may not see that again in BG3.

I would've said a good goal is to make sure all companion lines are voiced, and then for main quest NPCs you repeatedly talk to and/or reveal major story and plot points. Side quest scrub number 46 telling you that something strange is happening in the lower decks doesn't need anything voiced.

When I ran into the two other rogue traders at the end of Act 2 I thought it was really well done. Like the whole game so far I keep getting to be like "I'm da most importantest cause im da rogue trader" and people generally go "ok fine..." But now there's these two assholes and, while I haven't done any quests with them yet so I can't say whether it's that good yet, I definitely got the vibe of "they dont fuckin give a poo poo about you", or at least "they aren't gonna accept your poo poo". The music in this at key points has been really superb also. Like the boss fight music that comes on when you fight the chaos space marine.

The Winterscale Dynasty has a whole subsector named after them. Three planets isn't impressive. The Chordas have a smaller but still respectable little kingdom.

My salt levels are spiking to dangerous levels and I have come to the internet to seek guidance. Playing on Hard, I get into an encounter with old friends of Jae after leaving Footfall. It seems that every dialogue choice leads to Voidship combat. This is only my second Voidship fight and I am insanely outclassed, as in, my torpedos only deal 1/6 damage to the small adds, of which there are three. Regardless of positioning the enemies can kill me in the second round, sometimes before I can act again. This feels like it's totally unbalanced and I shouldn't be here, but I don't seem to have any choice to avoid it? Is there some way to get your Voidship crazy upgraded on Footfall? I feel like I would need to be 3-5 times stronger to have a chance with good tactics. Help me, Something Awful. You're my only hope.

Sab669 posted:That's what I said in my last post, yes. It's another tool in the artist's toolbelt. Maybe for personal projects with no commercial stake but the same copyright and ethical issues apply commercially outside of the simplest automation cases (like procedural tools) But yeah using them personal custom portraits is just whatever, people have been nabbing concept art off the internet for that for ages.

On unfair you are pretty much guaranteed a team member is killed every time the Chaos Space Marine acts. Setting up at the start is partially a trigonometry problem to prevent a burst attack being aimed through two vital characters.

i had the officer talent that gives you a free turn at the start of a fight and i used it to make abbey charge at him and he spent most of the fight trying to throw hands with abbey instead of taking a 3 damage opportunity attack and easily gunning everyone down
