I hope this is a joke, but that makes no sense what so ever.

[EDIT] Open mouth, insert foot: upon reconsideration, it is quite plausible that if Lucas Arts forced Obsidian, directly or indirectly, to cut these scenes, that they could have been left as Obsidian's collective thumb biting.

thank you for this thread and the endings, I loved the game but the end felt a bit rushed. When Kreya gives you the option of telling the futur of our friends, I believed I would see cutscenes showing what happens (a la Hords of the underdark) but instead you get a rushed ending that doesn't feel right somehow.

After reading this thread, I understand.

I don't believe we'll see a special edition, maybe a patch (that we would have to pay for ?) could be an option?

Actually, it does. Lucasarts would probably never let them add it, but since the files are almost all there, modders could probably tweak around and find a way to add them to the game. That way, the game they wanted to make would be available.

Heh just playing back some of the hidden wavs.... Found one that sounds like Bastile in the TESTLIPS folder. O.o

I'm afraid the modders can't add it, since there's no tool to change the animations.

the cutted moments were dubbed in other languages, it's strange !

I heard in french the line when sion says that he will make atton look like him .

And there is a dialogue between sion and kreia where he calls her master a few times, he asks her what she will do to the exile and she asks herself if sion still have a heart because he cares about the exile.

When would a dev. be 'free' at all to comment on these?

Does he still have a Scottish accent when he speaks French?

Who Sion ????

No, in the French version he has got a cool bad guy voice.

Hasn't he in the english version ???

He has a Scottish accent in the English version. Not a flowery one, like say Scotty in Star Trek has, but a low, croaking one that actually sounds pretty evil.

Of course, being Scottish myself, I may be a tad biased...

That seems strange that the foreign language versions would have all these cut dialogs in them as well.

Perhaps all the dialog versions were recorded at roughly the same time in the development cycle (?)

Which was obviously prior to them deciding to hack n' slash the ending to get the Xbox version out for the holidays <sigh>

Why modders shouldn't be able to add content ? Most of the cutscenes in the game use standard animations. (walking, drawing a wapon or some other idle/filler animations). They could be reused as well. If there are all those voice files inside the folders, chances are that there are even scripts, maybe additional models and textures

I think some of those simpler cut scenes probably will be modded, but there's a couple that would either be tricky or impossible, like Atton's death scene. That scene requires what sounds like a different model altogether (heavily wounded, and if connected to the Sion scene his arm would have to be gone as well) and new animation, considering that he's described as being crumpled on the floor so his animations/interactions would need to be unique to that scene. To me it sounds like it's not so much as modding as it is programming from scratch. :(

I dunno, though... there are some really great modders out there. If they can really manage to program all that into a scene, then I'll most definitely want to see the outcome.
