Pallegina's voice acting

[TheisEjsing]

Oh, I thought you meant Faramir for a second there. ^_^ 

[Karkarov]

You mean it sounds almost like it's...placeholder? Sigh. Guys, seriously, could you at least just limit yourself to slagging off content that's actually in-game.

Maybe I need to start going at this forum like I did about the Destiny Alpha.

 

Here let's link a nice video so everyone understands what non final voices sound like.  I am sure we will recognize this one.

What's your point Karkarov?  My point is simple.  Stop trying to hack the game and base your judgements on what is actually presented in the beta.  When we get Pallegina as a companion in game we will here her final real voice.  If it sucks then feel free to unload.  Right now there is no evidence to indicate any voice in the game isn't just placeholder.  In fact this voice isn't even in the game so why did it even get a thread?

I am not sure how a mauretanian italian inspired female aasimar knight can sound, but there was at least one holy character in Obsi games who had a... special voice

 

 

so I was expecting something of a quality

Kaeylyn the Dove, one of my all time favourite VOs in a CRPG! Now we're talking!!

What about our Cadegund find? Would she really not make it into final game?

 

Doesn't look like it

 

Seriously? I really liked her concept art. This is getting ridiculous.

[IndiraLightfoot]

If Cadegund didn't make it in, her name could at least replace that of Pallegina, provided it fits with or is tweakable into Josh's lingos, of course.

[Sensuki]

I know 7 of the companions as referenced in the game files but I won't post them here for those that want to stay spoiler free. Feel free to PM if you want to know

• Cadegund – a human priest, she won't be a companion in the final game.
• Forton – a Savannah human monk, he won't be a companion in the final game.

 

from the wiki

[Karkarov]

If they cut Cadegund I can sort of understand because wasn't she supposed to be a paladin?  With only eight companions I am sure they don't want to double up.  That said how many of the original concept art characters ARE in game?  We know Adair/Eder/whatever his name is now is in but he is vastly different.... so much so that other than having a beard and the same name pronunciation he is not the same character anymore.  They even changed his hair color and skin tone .

 

 

• Cadegund – a human priest, she won't be a companion in the final game.
• Forton – a Savannah human monk, he won't be a companion in the final game.

So what you are saying is that they are not party members.  In other words, they "might" be in game but are not going to be joining up.  Forton is no loss, hated his concept art from the get go and hate martial arts based monk characters in European fantasy settings for more reasons than I care to recount.

No she was supposed to be a cleric of fire goddess, so they don't overlap with Pallegina. Although two female "holy" characters might feel that way.

[Sensuki]

Three, although one of they may or may not have undergone a sex change (unsure at this point)

dat passive aggressive

They said early that these would be either Companions or important NPC's. As such they were never confirmed as companions.

 

So, no surprise really. And theres a good chance we'll meet Forton and Cadegund anyway.

[Grotesque]

I've listened too all the files and their voice acting quality is semi-atrocious .

Track 14 is abysmal in particular.

 

If this sh!t gets into the final game, I will be a sad panda...

[Karkarov]

dat passive aggressive

You guys are way off base.  There is nothing passive aggressive about what I say or how I say it.  I say exactly what I mean and not one word more.  If it sounds aggressive it is because it is intended to.  Passive is not a word I would ever use to describe myself.

 

Judging the quality of content you have to hack the game to see is meaningless because that content is not being presented to you.  Like I said, if they present something as "final" and it sucks, feel free to get the torches and pitchforks.  They have not even presented Pallegina's voice at this point however so lets be a little less Minority Report about it.

[Sensuki]

I didn't post the thread and even over at the Codex where I posted the files I said that I thought it was temp

 

I thought it was passive aggressive because it was an indirect aggression, but fair enough.

 

I've also been digging through the files to get a feel for "how the sausage is made". I've discovered that modding items should be fairly easy to do as long as there's a program that can re-pack data into the Unity files (which I *think* there is, but not 100%).

 

ADDING items will be more difficult though.

I remember when Diablo 3 got hacked and rumors of idiotic storyline and itemization problems surfaced.

Yeah! Just be good little robots and try not to dig so deep!

The things that you're not supposed to see are bitching season free after release only!

God forbid.

It is Diablo, you didn't need to hack anything to know the storyline would suck and the itemization would be bad.  In fact scratch that.... it's a Blizzard game.  Same rules apply.  The real offender with that game was the Real Money Auction house and I don't recall anyone raising a storm about it until after release.

[Sensuki]

They also changed design directions many times, sounds like a nightmare of a project that really should have been Diablo 2 with 3D graphics.

[DannyBarks]

This VO work sounds fine to me.

Not really much worse than the IE stuff, some of which wasn't exactly awesome, and a lot of which was OTT or cheesy.

 

This also doesn't sound much worse than Dinklage...

They threw a modifier on his voice just like with Glados, it sounds fine .

Well the IE games were a bit cheesy in general. I think the VO direction reflects the overall tone of the game.

That is some high level trolling. Good job.

[Messier-31]

I know that this game is made by an American studio... but the bloody American accent, especially while talking in Vailian, DOES NOT FIT!

 

[Infinitron]

Seriously, find some majestic Grace Jones-esque black lady who can do an Italian accent. It'll be awesome.

[Hormalakh]

Listening to raw sound sets from IE games isn't a joy ride either in most cases. But in game it's awesome. So I have to disagree on that one.

 

sorry i'm calling bull**** on that. look up viconia or any of the other npcs from bg2 on youtbue. they sound fantastic.
