Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - General Regarding Voice Acting (suggestions)

Larian, please, PLEASE don't make the voice acting repetitive.

It was "cute" in OS1 and became a popular joke, but it's SUPER annoying when an NPC repetitively yells about cheeses every 2 seconds. I would lose my mind and completely mute the game when I took longer than a minute browsing the merchants' wares.

So please, either give the NPCs more lines, or make them say their lines less frequently... Or perhaps add proximity to sounds so when they're far away, they're not as loud.

or.. well.. preferably, all of the suggestions above.

Yes. Absolutely, positively, NO VOICE-ACTING FOR LOOPING DIALOGUE. None! Save that money for other things.

I think that you are forgetting that no one has as many friends as the man with many cheeses.

Yellow and green the finest veggies Cyseal's ever seen!

No one has as many savage beatings as the man with many cheeses.

And yet all of you remember the guy who sold cheeses.

or at very last they could mute the voice over when you have your inventory open.

I remember how browsing merchants/arranging my inventory inside Cyseal at times almost drove me insane in D:OS1.

Quite well. I killed him... twice.

" or at the very least they could mute the dialogue when you have your inventory open."

While I personally enjoyed the looping dialogue (what can I say, I really like cheese) it could get old after a while. I think your suggestion is an excellent one.

Get out. (xD)

Untrue, it's just the only one I chose to mention.
Potions to bemuscle you, scrolls to entussle you!

Larian, if you're reading this, this is just the vocal minority. Don't listen to them. Most people are expecting NPCs to behave exactly like the cheese vendor for Classic, and if NPCs do not have radiant dialogue and inventories filled with cheese for sale, then this game will be a massive letdown for the majority of the community.



Sincerely,

A concerned fan.

This, a million times this. No voice makes me think of the comestible qualities of cheese more than Christopher Walken. Every time I hear that accent, my tummy rumbles, and if the proper amount of NPCs are selling cheese, then they will need some way to motivate me into buying it. His voice would be just perfect for the task.

This is actually true.


I seem to have suddenly lost the ability to breathe. If anyone finds it, I would consider it quite useful to have it emailed back to me.

"SPEAKING O' YUTHUL GOR, THAT LOOPY LEGIONAIRE THINKS THAT ORC, HE CHARMED, LOVES HIM!"

/nightmares o_o

I was driven insane long before the D:OS cheesy vendor. I some time wonder if I will ever recover my sanity but I'm not sure silencing the cheese will do it.

But how will I know where to get my cheese then?

Shhh, don't worry. Just follow the alluring accent of Christopher Walken chanting "Gorgombert. It's like cheese. That you can inhale. Get some today. Or miss out. On cheese amazing deals."

It'll be in the final game. I promise.

in a game like this, only the main story and companion conversations/introductions should have voice overs. Side-quests shouldn't.
