Would you trade voice over for more game options?

Question is too simple.

To answer it simply, no.

But I'd trade meaningless side-quests, dailies, for more focused and meaningful voiceovers with class/companions.

The VO in sidequests i'd be willing to give up for more game options, but never the primary story VO.

Yes, I would, although I don't think it would have been necessary if BW had used a solid game engine instead of taking a game engine that wasn't even in beta testing yet and using it. I enjoyed the voice overs, they did make the game more immersive, but the game is not an MMO, largely due to the game engine's inability to support more than 20 people in an area. They should have either made an MMO, or made KOTOR 3. Instead they made something in the middle, and it's no good.

Never!!!!!1

I'll take both, please.

There is no reason we can't or shouldn't get both.

Hiring voice actors that 99.999% of the playerbase has never heard of isn't the same as hiring Brad Pitt. It's cheap and easy to do. This isn't the 70's, with modern audio recording and processing gear, doing voice overs isn't a major Hollywood production.

Yes.
Voiceovers get boring after first playthrough and get annoying when people don't skip convos in fps.

Give us actual content, not spacebar action

no i wouldn't.

1. there is nothing preventing those things from coming in the future.
2. yes voice over is something special and it really adds to the experience.

so in looking at this thread the overwhelming majority would be mega pissed if they lost their VO.

Nice.

Its only spacebar action if you can't be asked to listen, I'd ask you to have respect for those who don't want to spacebar away one of the most important aspects of SWTOR. I can't believe people are actually complaining about this . There a bigger problems in SWTOR than fully-voiced content, which in no galaxy far far away, is a problem.

I think we need to extrapolate the question into 2 parts.

1) would you like to have the option to skip VO if you preferred?
answer to that for me would be helluyes. I love the VO, but after 4 of the same class archetype (AC's share teh same storyline), you tend to look to the VO as an interruption in the process. But it should be voluntary...much like how you can skip intro movies in the options menu right now. so allot of people liked it the first time around, but may not be so eager the second...or fifth....so they may say "yes get rid of VO" when in reality, they enjoyed it the first time around.

2) If the only way to get meaningful content at a regular pace was to eliminate the VO, would you?
i think it's important to stipulate that. content will come, but it sounds like you feel that at this point it was one or the other (and speaking of budgets that's probably true). However, new content/QoL improvements are far easier to add then tryign to go back and add VO after the game was designed.

So for #2, if I had to pick either or...I would go with VO first, because after all, new content can and will be added, but it's pretty obvious that VO would have been nigh impossible unless it was included in the original design.
