vug posted:For instance in morrowind you get "[There is a brief sensation of motion in total darkness, floating, but without a sense of weight and direction.]" and you read the words and imagine the meaning, it's the miracle of art. But these days the screen would just go weird for a bit and it would suck rear end. In fact I would bet my bottom dollar that that's exactly what will happen in skywind because they're shitfart babies who don't know what the gently caress Both are poo poo and if you want to write a lovely book do that instead of making a video game.

Voiced dialogue in video games is for children who are immature and stupid by definition. Written dialogue in video game however is for adults who are really smart and know how to read.

I like how in Skyrim they got Max von Sydow to do a couple lines, hired an uncredited guy who vaguely sounded like him after they realized that paying for VA work in Paris for just him was too expensive, and then still gave him top billing.

I missed the dude who did the Redguard Male voice in Morrowind and Oblivion (and Cyrus in Redguard). Dunno why they didn't bring him back for Skyrim. He wasn't great but you could tell he liked his job and actually put some effort into it.

voice acting is wasted on npcs that immobilize you in a dialogue and talk to you. everyone reads the subtitles in a second and a half and skips the 3mb of voice files that remain after he garbles out the first three words. passive voice acting, like when people are shooting the poo poo in your car in GTA, is pretty win though

At this point I'd rather they just publish the script for their games online and crowdsource their VA. I'd rather hear some 12-year old fart into a $5 tincan-mic and talk about boobies than hear the same 2 canned voices ad infinitum. patrolling the mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter

I think most of the companions did good, save for the black chick who seemed to be a dev's waifu or some poo poo and the other lady who was all about saving the babbies, and I thought the bad guy was ok, but everyone else really phoned it in.

There's nothing wrong at all with mostly just using the same 6 or so dudes to do voice acting in your game, if they're actually good voice actors and have a ton of range. Bethesda doesn't pay for good voice actors though. Except for that dude that used to play the Dunmer and also Haskill in Shivering Isles. He was cool YIKES Stay Gooned posted:if I like the voice acting in a game I'll turn the subtitles off so I stop reading ahead of what they're talking about same
