SoulstitchMMO Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I am still getting quests I have to read, and the "cut scenes" in most every flash point since BT... is read the quest. What happened to them all being fully voiced? On top of that, what's with me going back to get a heroic... and instead of "Hey thanks for that job you did can you do it again" I get the exact... same... quest...

You want a monotone narrator reading datapad information and actions done by your character? Because that really is the only aspect without voice features in dialogue; all the actual 'talking' in quests are filled with dialogue. Lazy.

ThanosTitan Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 What I really like is that extra level of polish Where I have the exact same voice as every other male jedi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesperascit Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Or uses the same line 1 million times=300 million US dollars Actually they only pay the Voice Actor per line when they record it. They aren't paying for each line every time it is said. Actually using some lines multiple times is a good way to spend LESS money on voice overs because the actor only has to record it the one time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torwes Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Not to mention most people I know tend to use the same phrase over and over again themselves as well. There's only so many ways to say "I'll get right on it", and most people only tend to use one. It's called patterns of speech and everyone has theirs.

They don't NEED the work so you would have to provide them extra incentive to sign on. It would all depend ofcourse on what you negotiate with their agent.

Nicholas cage most expensive of all charges 20mill for full feature movie I believe, for a voice in a game or cartoon he charges less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, you are his accountant? Or his agent? If so I don't think you should be telling us this. And it doesn't matter how much he usually makes. Depending on how badly you wanted his involvement he could make more. As I said, it would all depend on what you negotiate with his agent. My point though was that Voice Actors are only paid per line they read for the game. If the endgame uses the same line multiple times it doesn't increase the amount of money that was paid towards VA.

Mannic Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Or aliens speaking gibberish What's funny is how that helps qualify the game as "fully voiced," even though you still have to read just as much in order to know what the alien is saying lol.

Single Player games have been fully voiced for a long time now. SWTOR's claim was the first fully voiced MMO. The actual discussion isn't even about the quality of the voice acting, but the quantity and extent to which it exists in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play any dragon age game or mass effect ie a bioware game and you will realize that dialog is exactly the same in type and quality. Swtor is just WoW with a Dragon age 2 story.
