One of my few complaints. While no official numbers have been posted, its rumored the reason the production of SWTOR cost so much compared to other MMOs is because the voice acting. - A valid claim, i think, since its one of the few things that is fairly unique to SWTOR.

 

and yet even with that VO budget, i have to hear my sith inquisitor shout off the same 2 lines every time i accept a mission...

"Difficult Missions are what we do best."

"Stay sharp out there!"

"Shut up and start over."

 

Those are my 3 favorite repeated lines for Trooper. I've heard all of them more than 10 times during conversations thus far. lol

Yeah, I never reuse lines. I never reuse lines. :)

Voice actors are really expensive. Especially if you get ones that are well established. Like that one dude, I forget his name atm, who is literally in everything that has a voice-over ever made.

 

You know the guy, Leonardo in the TNMNT cartoons, was the blood elf voice in WoW, and now he's like every other NPC in this game.

 

The dude is everywhere.

"You're a few bolts short of a droid."

 

My Bounty Hunter LOVES to use this insult at every chance.

 

I must say I enjoy it when he is able to speak it. Especially with a helmet filter 0.o.

 

Interesting... I've literally never heard that. I guess I must not do a lot of insulting.

My favorite, for Sith Inquisitor is, "just show me where the fun is"; it always means that my body count will rival those of 80's Action movies. :D

 

It does not overly surprise me; one can come up with only so many clever responses to "will you kill them?", or "this needs to be done, now!", or "just listen to what I have to say/offer". It is also possible that the writers just got burned out. Again, one can only write so much.
