gurugeorge Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I was expecting more when i spent my first hours in the game... There are a few stock phrases that crop up again and again, sure, but there are also unique responses that you have never heard before, that you will miss if you spacebar. I can tell you this because I never spacebar, and I have several alts who have done the "same" content. Certainly for zone quests, but even for side quests sometimes, NPCs react to you differently as a different class, and you sometimes get different choices. As a general point, what you are saying has some validity, but it's offset by the fact that you don't have to do all the same side quests when you level an alt. Each class has a unique story, plus the zone quests are subtly different for different classes, plus there are enough side-quests so you don't have to do all of them in a zone, you can mix and match (i.e. refuse some sometimes, or even not bother having the conversation), plus of course do Heroics, FPs, WZs, space combat. There are lots of combinations of these things that will get you to level for the next zone without having to repeat too much content. Having said that, of course the game could still do with more unique content, but for the moment, they need to concentrate on endgame problems, then add more mid-level content once that's sorted.

Darth_Gao_Gao Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 i feel that for the credits spent on voice acting, that they could have realized that only having maybe 15 stock phrases (vague enough so they apply to a wide variety of situations) would ruin the appeal of said voice acting entirely. if they are going to use such a lazy and vague system, they should have doubled, if not tripled, the amount of general statements to repeat for the entire duration of the game. or they, you know, could have actual voice acting that reflects your actual conversation choices... i'd rather have my character not saying anything like in dragon age if my conversation choices actually were my own.

I was expecting more when i spent my first hours in the game... As opposed to grinding levels (per ALL MMOs) and doing repeatable quests for dailies and having to read everything, including the stock text of the classes accepting the quest repeated over and over .... At least now, when I do quests, I don't have to spam thru text ... What exactly did you think it would be like anyway? An unlimited database of comments that you never hear repeated more than twice in a week? Over-expectation, it is a game ... I hate hearing it also, but I use a spacebar (just as in other MMOs where I could just stop it from scrolling the text) ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EA and their greedy politics must have cut the corners and fool their customers. Right, who could have known that after first planet all the voice acting will come out to be another Tortage.

TheLonelyTusken Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Opinions are opinions I suppose. Personally, I have not space barred one conversation while leveling to 50, only in heroic mode flash points. I find them integral to me enjoying the game. Why are you so surprised you didn't like it? You would think with so many voice over "pick a choice" type RPG's out there you would know what they were like, and if you enjoyed them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was expecting more when i spent my first hours in the game... I'm level 43. I've heard my Jedi say some things quite a bit ("Helping others is both a duty and an honor"... that phrase needs to die) but it's really not game breaking. Additionally, I generally only space bar through the dialog when it's an alien language but ONLY after I read the text. I don't really need to listen to random gibberish at this stage in the game So I just have to disagree with you, OP. I still listen to (or at least read) ALL dialog and I probably always will Edited February 27, 2012 by CecilTellyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never mind, I'm still awestruck you thought a they should have no repetition ever in pre-recorded voice comments .. in a game ... If you seriously thought that AND you bought the game thinking it would be some AI world, you might wanna re-evaluate, maybe go outside, fresh air, things like that .. The amazing thing about outside, is the comments made never repeat .. err .. nm, things get repeated all the time .. Just like your "original thread" ....

Either you don't understand how much voice acting on a massive scale costs, or you just don't care and want it to be unique no matter what. I seriously think you need to reconsider what you think is "good" because even mass effect has repeated lines, it's also a much smaller game than this. Your bar is set way too high.

How dare actors read scripts !!! And they dare have the games lines alternating with your characters???? The Horror !!! Nothing is like that out in the world !! Well, except TV, Movies, other games that have voice-overs, conversations with other people ... NM, I have to ask though, are you drinking?

I dont need to understund more than i do at present time to judge that IF they are hiring actors to read all the NPCs quest lines, then they could afford the PC's actor goign trough all those quests with unique scripts. If anything else other than "yes" and "no" is being duplicated you can save 5% costs and loose 80% effect it will make. Make your math... they somehow afforded multuiple actors reading tones and tones of scripts, and you are trying to make me believe your theory that thjey coudlnt afford PC's actors do the same thign as NPCs actors?

First of all, don't tell me to "Make my math" you pulled all those numbers out of thin air, your argument is flawed. Second, voice over artists aren't payed with one regular amount all the time, it depends on the actor, and the number of lines they do, asking them to do "one more line please" is going to make the bill larger. if you do this with all of them to make each statement unique it adds up, that's math. Your expectations and the bar you set for this game is extremely high and shows you have never played a different fully voiced over choice game before. It's a huge money sink and really not worth it when it only effects a tiny minority of people like you, who expect too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
