Dracomies Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Who is the worst or most poorly acted Fallout New Vegas NPC? For me. I felt it was Lucius. Lucius was supposed to be a pretty powerful fighter and the guy voicing him just never matched. I'm thinking about getting some actors from here and/or Casting Call https://www.castingcall.club/#/ to revoice some of the NPCs in Fallout New Vegas. I'm thinking it's a matter of just getting them to voice the lines and then having the sound files replace the originals and adding lip files? I guess I have three questions. 1. What do you feel is the worst acted NPC in Fallout New Vegas? 2. Do you think it makes sense to do this and is it possible? 3. Is it worth the time?

sullyvanj93 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) well for questions 2 and 3, they're easy enough to answer. Yes its very possible and quite easy to do. The majority of the work would be to get the voice actors the script and having them do their thing. Actually putting the audio files in place would be a cinch. I've done it for a few vanilla characters as part of larger mods to give them more lines to say. that way they dont have two different voices (vanilla and modded). And if you find it as an improvement, it is definitely worth the time. As for which characters need improvement, it always bugged me that they used 4 or 5 voice actors for 80% of the NPCs. Sunny Smiles as an example, has the exact same voice as DOZENS of NPCs. In fact, heres a list of them all. Its not that she's a bad voice actor in the slightest. Just a bit of variety would do WONDERS to the game. Same with Cliff Briscoe and his list of characters. Theres plenty others too. If you can offer something new and fresh. Give something different on the menu, I'm sure it would be a very popular mod. Edited March 25, 2016 by sullyvanj93 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He clashes a lot with a lot of designs. I also really dislike Ari Rubin's voice. It's that not he's a bad actor. It's that he tends to play the parts of nearly all the Legion and you get the impression the Legion are supposed to be respectable warriors and fighters. That's not to say that powerful fighters usually have a particular voice but it doesn't hurt to find someone who actually sounds the part. On a side note, Katherine Pawlak is gorgeous!

pintocat Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Sunny Smiles has no inflection whatsoever. And the Storyteller kid in the boomers base is pretty bad. The kid actor even says "automatic weapons" instead of "atomic" weapons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
