gsmanners Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I'm looking forward to Area 51, and also bracing myself for disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony the Wookie Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I really, really hope they give bethesda´s voiced dialogues the finger. Sure it sounds nice and such, but it completely killed any attempt at having a good story with enough background information to make things believable in their last games. For a current generation game to not have voiced dialogue would be pretty unacceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People feel they need voice actors for their quest mods or otherwise it won't measure up to vanilla. Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights had, what I think, was a good compromise. Baldur's Gate only voiced certain parts of the dialogue - the initial greeting, and the major dialogues along the main quest line. Neverwinter Nights, for all its other faults, managed to make a good compromise for 3D as well - it would zoom in for cinematic dialogue again only for the major quest line dialogues, but for minor dialogures it would not zoom in for a cinematic and rely on a dialogue box instead. I don't know why more developers don't opt for that approach - it may not be as cinematic, but it has to be much, much comparatively cheaper than having every last line voiced. It's something that'd probably be barely noticed in a game reivew anyway, as those opt to finish the game as soon as possible and thus will be rocketing down the main, fully voiced quest line. It would allow Bethesda to actually focus on deepening the characters instead of making them just gears in the plot's larger machine, and considering that shallow characters have been a persistent criticism of Bethesda's work, from what I've seen, it's really in their best interest.

They kinda "put the voice in your head" so you knew how to read the lines. But oh well, most people today simply do not want to read anymore. Basta. They prefer having a bad story read to them to going through the horror of reading themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordWushin Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 What I look forward to or hope for is the surrounding area. Vegas is pretty big I guess. I just hope that you could go to places like area-51, etc. No matter, New Vegas is going to be awesome just like Fallout 3. :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWhiteSamurai Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I liked to see different combat moves for melee. Like stabbing for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilneko Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Another problem I hope they solve in New Vegas, I really really really REALLY hope they get more voice actors for the voice acting instead of having the same person doing voices over and over again. :glare: Mel Blanc voiced most of the Looney Toons characters by himself. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingu53 Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 i hope they take note of all these mods for FO3, it amazes me how much better the people who play this game can make it better than the ones who actually made it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaysus Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 hope they take note of all these mods for FO3, it amazes me how much better the people who play this game can make it better than the ones who actually made it and "steal" all kinds of stuff again? like the workbench which was an oblivion mod? hell no! those cheap *selfcensorshiprules* should finally start to develope a game instead of puzzeling it together out of other peoples ideas and creations without giving the slightest bit of credit...
