Larian Studios Forums Beyond Divinity (English) General Has Larian commented at all on the death knight?

speaking of music... what did everyone think of the music in the demo? i thought it was so-so

the music was supurb! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />
i like it a lot .
The intro song and the song in the demo aswell.
it gived me a special "mood" -> wich i don't go in details <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Now that's a game I remember I never read that authors books but the story in that game was nothing short of Awesome! and your right the voice acting was ok the music was good for the game too, but then I didn't compose music back then...hmmm...The best voice acting I hear Period is from Japan Seiyuu, FF12 Xenosaga 2 will have the best voice acting for Games and a lot of high production games in Japan.
Japan takes that very very seriously, like Seiyuu are Famous people a lot of them are Singers and Actors as well, they go to school to learn that craft even...This brings it back to voice actors or actors in General, I am seeing and since Wing Commander 3, that they are hiring and have been top notch actors for the voice acting in the US for there games(James Bond game anyone) I think it's a matter of money and production. Either the Audio guy is in charge of EFX, Music, Sound design, and hiring the voice actors and recording(no joke some companies ask all that from a studio) or a company hires a company to do the voice acting. I honestly can say it's not to hard to add your emotion to a given sentence that requires that emotion. But hey I not the standing in front of a microphone with a script^_* this is almost off topic... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/offtopic.gif" alt="" />
I haven't even played the Beyond Divinity demo yet. If the voice acting sucks I will still buy the game I will still play it an hour here and there. People look for a mood and hope that the actors are following that mood with there voice if not it kills the mood? Kondor is a good example of a great RPG where the voice acting and audio didn't get in the way of the game no matter what we thought of the audio and voice acting...I bet Beyond Divinity will be a surprise for everone...ohhh got on topic a bit there(sweating)

...... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" /> ...as if there's any time to make a new demo! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/stupid.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> .... youbetcherass it is!
the needs of the one, or few, in this case...
does not outweigh the needs of the many.....

So the knight's a little "dry and callous" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/suspicion.gif" alt="" /> ,
he has his moments i'm sure.....
and if you don't like him, you can always turn it off, eh? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

the only thing that really matters is getting a good game!

the music in the demo was good to me.

it tasted like more! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

I really liked the stuff in the loading screen. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Bean,
I am interested by your comments. In a way it becomes a philosophical discussion.

I believe our points are actually very similar.

It does not matter if you sway my opinion, or I sway your opinion.

Reality is not going to change by being positive or negative. Perhaps we can discuss how it doesnt matter that much what voices in games sound like.

Perhaps we can learn to appreciate anything. A game is not that important anyway its just entertainment. We didnt even have to make it were all just potential game players. LOL all that is at stake for us is whether or not we turn the sound on. There will probably even be click to turn voices off....

The reality is .... the voice acting sounds really bad. Most people will come to that opinion unbiased by me or you or whoever.... we can argue about anything, but we cant argue about that. That is the facts.
As a big fan of the first game I am really hoping to developers can deal with that in time. What else can I add I wish I had more time to test each line as someone just suggested. The demo gave me a large enough dose to predict that its all pretty bad...

Anyhow, enough negative from me I wish I had more to help with and be constructive with.

me and my personal opinion of the Death Knight's voice: Im no sheep nor shepard im the almighty great wolverine with my personal opinion that comes to eat you!!!

1.)*Lie* No the DK's voice is not lifeless and sound like the soul has been sucked out of its lifeless bland robot audio interpreted for a blind person voice on a regular pentium 1 processor*

1.)*bend or twist the truth* it was ok im sure my sanity will stay intact as im forced no doubt to listen to the DK throughout the whole longggggggggggggg+extension on long adventure.

1.)*brutality honest* well i mean no offense i love you and remain your loyal fan throughout the years to come.... just doing my duty to you and all by telling you my honest opinion based off the demo of the death knights voice i don't care what you do. Im sure everything will turn out for the best, and if it starts to bother me for a long time then.....then.....i'll just have to turn off the power to my speakers forsaking all sound.

a special demo for me? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
You caught me barta, I just wanted to play more <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

But it indeed would be better if the larians just finished the game, so I can play a whole lot more <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

I for myself apperciate that the german demo having no speech,
`cause german synchronisators normally are bad as hell.
With playing the full version I was really surprised to see,
that they tried to do the best in synchronization,
as I got to know other examples, such as Blizzards Warcraft III,
where I always cry about the german voices and the almost
completey wrong translations (is it common to take translators who nearly know nothing about english speech (for the last time "frostmourne hungers" and "Frostmourne hat Hunger" are a whole new ballgame)?).
The only factor I hated in the sounds of DD was that (as mentioned in other articles) "how wonderfull", when my charakter has found out something.
How shall I get an experienced dark mage, when my charakter sounds like that?
