nik_bg Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 May be it is too late to discuss this, but there was one geat drawback in K1 voicing - the aliens. It is very boring to hear one and the same phrases all the time. Also the intonation of the voice is not always in sync with the conversation emotion. The most stupid was the voicing of Sasha on Ebon Hawk: the sounds had nothing to do with the letters on the screen. Hope Obsidian will/did take care on this aspect of the game. Nik.
Product of the Cosmos Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 I thought they did a adequate job in kotor.. I really disliked hearing the selkath tho.. Like nails ona chalkboard... LOL, some phrases got me crackin up.. 'tong nong bong shong...etc' lmao..
Iolo Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 I liked listening to the Twi'Leks. They had some good catch phrases.
Rayne-RF1 Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 Actually,the repetition of the phrases wasn't nearly as annoying as their length. In most cases it took 20 minutes to say 2 words in alien language,which prompted me to skip through the dialogs a lot.
Iolo Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 That's true. After hearing it a few times, the novelty wore off and you just didn't want to wait through the too long dialogue exchanges.
Whitemithrandir Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 jawaspeak owns though. Word economics To express my vast wisdom I speak in haiku's.
ShinIchiro Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 Yah, the speech did get repetitive with all the aliens of one species having the same voice and words. I'd like to have maybe 3X as many possiblities, so that different aliens used different words and voices, but didn't need to have a unique one for each character.
Ragadanked Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 I thought they did a adequate job in kotor.. I really disliked hearing the selkath tho.. Like nails ona chalkboard... LOL, some phrases got me crackin up.. 'tong nong bong shong...etc' lmao.. I thought the Selkath souded the best out of the Aliens. They did need more depth in their speech though.
nightcleaver Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 I think I heard they were adding more stuff to the traditional alien language loop - I'm not sure though. Not like it would make a huge difference - after the first game, you really don't want to hear it anymore.
John Morgan Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 We are trying to add more variety to the alienspeak voices. SiO2
Archmonarch Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 Thank you very much. Like the others here after an hour or so, I skipped almost all the alien dialogue. And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had
Quasar Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 Please add words other than "moocha shaka paka". For the love of all that is good and right in the world! PLEASE!
OLD SKOOL WHEELMAN Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 We are trying to add more variety to the alienspeak voices. Echuuta, musha shacka paka, dong a diva, a bobo, musha shacka echuuta... Translation: Thanks!
icebox15 Posted July 16, 2004 Posted July 16, 2004 I have only one thing to say to all of you.......Muchu Shaka Paka.
nik_bg Posted July 16, 2004 Author Posted July 16, 2004 I am happy Obsidian is working on this issue B)
ShinIchiro Posted July 16, 2004 Posted July 16, 2004 TG. If I here musha shaka pake one more time..... Instead of that they're going to say ki-ponna (spelling?) all the time just to spite me.
OLD SKOOL WHEELMAN Posted July 16, 2004 Posted July 16, 2004 I forgot about that one! One of the twi'leks would say that in every sentence... :angry:
icebox15 Posted July 16, 2004 Posted July 16, 2004 Hey let's not forget the Rodian Lorgal in the republic embassy on Manaan who always seemed to say " ahoo bobo tainya" all the time. And it was also Sasha who said "Kiponna bona nok key choo".
Ragadanked Posted July 16, 2004 Posted July 16, 2004 I think its funny when you skip what their saying(I did this my third time through for the record). It sounds like this: Musha Shaka...Kapona...Musha Shaka...Kapona :D And it goes on...
Omedarcus Posted July 18, 2004 Posted July 18, 2004 My favorite is the Duros "Daabooda kees temitoma, whaddakoombes khing ra ra roo ra. cho king bang gon ket. chin bang ra bes" The others are harder to type, but the way they talk is funny. THey should've had more dialog though other than 5 phrases, including the one above I liked it when the aliens actually sounded like what they were saying. Like Ajuur the Hutt talking about Bendak Starkiller and Motta the Hutt talking about each swoop racer and his own name. Or Gluupor on Manaan who sounds like he is talking 3rd person about Sunry and the Selkath Speaking of selkath, their dialog sucks. You cant understand anything and it sounds like gargling. Worse is when it takes 2 hours for each judge to say their names. It should be "Presiding over the Sunry trial, judges duula, naleshaken, jhosa, etc", not that gargly "ooh forgiveus nooso "and going on forever for each name
OLD SKOOL WHEELMAN Posted July 19, 2004 Posted July 19, 2004 I thought you could skip that unlike the camera cutscene.... :angry:
mastaGAW Posted July 19, 2004 Posted July 19, 2004 It didn't really annoy me thier words were too long though.
ShinIchiro Posted July 19, 2004 Posted July 19, 2004 I thought you could skip that unlike the camera cutscene.... :angry: Sometimes. Why do aliens talk 100 times as slowly as everyone else? Is it because we CRPGers don't know how to read very well?
