kabaliero Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Man, that Flaming Fist support cleric\mage chanting his "Alteration school" for "Haste" spell sure was scary to hear. However, BG1's chanting sounds differed from the later projects i think it only shared them with early ICWD 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWestfall Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Yes, definitely. However, to give this game its own distinct flavor, maybe use a variation of Latin: Irefay Allbay! Armchay Onstermay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sensuki Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 Another reason the BG/IWD ones were the best is the manner of their delivery and the right post-processing choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diablo169 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I'll say yes provided some thought goes into it, and that it doesnt eat the budget with voice acting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobo Elf Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I really liked the incantations in BG and IWD. They gave the spells a lot of oomph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cthulchulain Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Audible incantations are really welcome. I am thinking one set of incantations for when spells are fired off successfully, and another set of incantations for when spells are miscast. I picture an interaction with an apprentice or Biff the Understudy: Incertus, pulcher... uh, impediment? Fizzle... Manus, potentis, pyro, *hand lights on fire* OWW! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khaooohs Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 totally agree, and to add something new, maybe would be cool to make spell casting words sound just like the character's voice, or since you can chose your character's culture, using different languages...anyway I love that latin stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Messier-31 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 @ 1st post Whoa, all this time and I finally get to see how to write those.

eimatshya Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I'm fine with having voice acted invocations, but I would prefer that they weren't in Latin as the whole "Latin is the language of magic" thing irritates me. Also I think Latin sounds kind of silly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samm Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 As stated in the other thread, I really dislike this latin pronounciation, as well as the phrases used for incantations (thanks for spelling them out, Sensuki! ) I can't help but feel embarassed for the writers/speakers/characters hearing them. So for me, it's a [x]NO Yes to cool incantations, no to latin. Use the conlangs instead, for example 1 Citizen of a country with a racist, hypocritical majority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffnindo Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 (edited) I would love to see this implemented for I have fond memories of learning new spells and getting to hear the different incantations in BG I and II. It also reminds me of the chanting used by the Third Race in the Gargoyles cartoon. Yes to incantations, and yes to Latin!
