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.

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 liked listening to the Twi'Leks. They had some good catch phrases.

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.

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.

Eeetchuuta!

jawaspeak owns though.

I question your sanity.

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.

I thought the Selkath souded the best out of the Aliens. They did need more depth in their speech though.

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.

We are trying to add more variety to the alienspeak voices.

Thank you very much. Like the others here after an hour or so, I skipped almost all the alien dialogue.

Please add words other than "moocha shaka paka". For the love of all that is good and right in the world! PLEASE!

Echuuta, musha shacka paka, dong a diva, a bobo, musha shacka echuuta...

Translation: Thanks!

I have only one thing to say to all of you.......Muchu Shaka Paka.

I am happy Obsidian is working on this issue B)

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.

I forgot about that one!

 

One of the twi'leks would say that in every sentence... :angry:

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".

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...

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

I thought you could skip that unlike the camera cutscene.... :angry:

It didn't really annoy me thier words were too long though.

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?
