Question and meme.

I'm curious--why does whoever wrote the userinfo think that the voices ruin the game? I know people who will only play it with the voices, and while some are better than others, on the whole they tend to add humor. (There are also lines of dialogue which you'll only get from the voices.)

Hee. That's neat.

Oh, and some of the voices ARE god-awful. I mean, I shudder at the thought of the Utwig voice, personally. Then again, some of the voices grow on you.

I mean, I certainly don't have all of Fwiffo's dialogue saved in an easily-accessible folder on my desktop... >.>

[relsqui]

The Utwig voice is horrific and obnoxious and matches the dialogue perfectly. ; )

Everyone loves Fwiffo, though. You just can't not!

The voices I think do the least for the game are ones like Talana's and Hayes's, which just aren't very interesting. But consider the Mycon, and both kinds of Ur-Quan, and the Melnorme (a favorite of mine). I'm quite amazed to see the whole package condemned, with them in it.

I think the Utwig should be less nasal and a bit more...sullen and depressed.

FWIFFO. WAHEY.

I'm not too fond of the humanoids in the game, so I try my best to avoid conversing with them. XP The Kohr-Ah are...scary, but they sound way too much like Darth Vader for my liking. The Melnorme are very...well they sound slightly like sexual predators, or like they're waiting for you to fall asleep so that they can experiment on you. And the Mycon are really echo-ey.

Forgot to add this: The SC3 Utwig voice is more of what I thought the Utwig should sound like. Less nasal.

Personality tests yay.

What the- I'm a tie between the Chmmr, Human, Umgah and Druuge (D<). I prefer the Umgah.

As for the voices, I don't know. I can see how some of the voices could be done better, but others are okay.

Yeah, the original game didn't have voices, they were only added later on for the 3DO release. :O

That was me who wrote the info. DON'T GET ME FRIGGING STARTED ON THE VOICES, I HATE THEM. I HATE THEM SO MUCH. I HATE THEM WITH THE FIRE OF A THOUSAND BURNING SUNS, AND I WANT TO PROTECT INNOCENT NEWBIES FROM THE HORROR. I WILL NEVER RESCIND THIS OPINION.

If you want my in-depth explanation for my disgust and horror at the voices I've gone over it here, here, and especially here.
