Fasule Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 having so many npc's speak in a foreign language? have them speak english. it makes no sense to have a game where all the quests have voice and then set up a situation where you have to read the text anyway. why spend the time and memory making unintelligible sounds and forcing the player to read the text, who thought that was a good idea? put a language translate implant in the ear and forget about it. 3 steps forward 2 steps back. really silly.

Staleningrad Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Because not every race speaks Basic in the game. It wouldn't hurt you to read a few lines of text once in a while. I like that some of the races speak in another language, it helps immerse me in the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyonme Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Well unless you can speak their language, you will need the subtitles... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Star Wars to have aliens speaking in foreign languages with subtitles. It's one of many limitations a game designer faces with an IP (especially one like Star Wars, where I am sure Lucas Arts would not buy into having all aliens speak basic).

MatronAdena Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Im not bothered, it's true to the SW universe in that way- where basic is a galactic trade language and not known to everyone it does get annoying however when you know that in most cases it is gibberish, really stands out when talking to a Hutt considering that language has fairly decent amount of words and phrases that are consistent- >.> I get annoyed by the over use of " signs" from one planet being used in another. The most obvious one is the " Welcome to Nar Shadda ; Nal Hutta " vegas like sign from...well... Nar Shadda I saw that several times on Corellia but just mirrored I know they dont expect most players to be able to read aurebesh but still.....

ShonaChaos Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I like those little guys that sound like they're farting when they speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allyhoo Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Also it is in the SW's lore that while some species can understand Basic perfectly fine they lack the vocal ability to produce the sounds necessary to speak it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MatronAdena Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Heh, okay, that is pretty advanced! lol aurebesh is pretty simple because it's English with a new alphabet like lol only thing to tell if it's lowercase or upper case is by the direction the letters are facing, and you can't mix capital and lower case you pretty much have to have the whole word LIKE THIS or like this. Tonta, Pateesa Mwa Publiko is huttese for " welcome my Republic friend" Schutta is a common word I use when Kira did something stupid >.> " Shutta stupa " Jedi is....well Jedai which they never say when talking to them even though the captions says they said jedi.... * puts her geek hat back on the rack for now.
