The game has a silent protagonist with a sidekick who is basically a sword, and though I think the voice of the sword should be sharper and more metallic-because that's what swords would definitely sound like-there was more to Bastion than the narration and there's more to this than a talking sword. The strategic sci-fi RPG has already tickled Nathan to the point of hyperventilation, and the rest of us can join in the wheezing and gasping on May 20th. I don't mean that in a stalkery murderous way, but in a release datey way. A Boy and His Dog is one of my favourite movies and it's really only a matter of time before something like that creeps into Fallout.Transistor, Supergiant's second game and follow-up to the chatty Cathy that was Bastion, is almost upon us. I'm personally hoping for telepathic Dogmeat. That's a powerful thing as well, but I won't begrudge Bethesda for wanting to try something new. I think this is because my character doesn't speak, and the dialogue that I pick, I hear it in my own voice with my own intonations and inflections. Whenever I think of my time with Dragon Age Origins or another game with a silent protagonist (like say, Skyrim) I think of the quests and adventures in those games as happening to me and not my character. That being said, silent protagonists work because they remove the barrier between avatar and player. Witcher 3 is amazing and everyone should play it. If there is a voiced protagonist in Fallout 4, I hope this is the direction they go in. He has a defined personality but the dialogue malleable enough so that he can be more in line with how you see his character. Voiced protagonists in an RPG can be done right. like the dovahkiin or whatever for Skyrim. I would really hate for FO to become some sort of apocalypse-mass effect, but that's just my opinion.ДЄlso having said that, I seem to remember watching some interview with Todd Howard from GDC last year where the question about voiced PCs came up, and he seemed quite adamant in keeping the 'freedom of character creation', so my money is on the vault-dweller just being used for promos and trailers etc. But we all know Bethesdas strong-suit is not writing, and I think they know it. But Witcher 3 pulls it off really well because the options are almost never ME-style black/white red/blue, which keeps it really interesting. Not just from a practical 'too many lines to record' standpoint but also that all the options must sort of fit into what the character would do and say, otherwise it breaks immersion. Usually I hate RPGs where you are a pre-defined character because, again, it limits the players options. That said, good VO can work in conjunction with great writing, and a great example is Witcher 3. Like someone above mentioned, it will most likely lead to two possible character choices: Renegade and Paragon, which is extremely uninteresting. The problem with VO and, by extension, the one cut-out character in a Beth game is limitation of dialogue options. We both ended up saving the world, but there were far fewer motherfuckers alive at the end of my game. My gf's Inquisitor was a Dalish trying to make people happy and mooning over Solas. My Inquisitor was a gay dwarf who had no time for stupid Andrastians. I like to play role playing games to develop characters, not to perform existing ones. I'll prefer playing as Geralt over The Inquisitor or The Courier almost every time. In fact, I'm kind of sick of games where your character is supposed to 'anyone you want them to be' because they just end up being non characters. I don't want my character to be a blank slate, I want my character to be a character. MAYBE the Courier would be different since they have a mysterious past. The Lone Wanderer would sound exactly like everyone else in Vault 101 where they grew up. The Chosen One would sound exactly like everyone else in Arroyo where they grew up. The Vault Dweller would sound exactly like everyone else in Vault 13 where they grew up. Could you explain that point a little more to me? If you grew up in a place where they speak English, you'll probably speak English pretty well. I honestly don't know what you mean with the different ethnicity thing.
