Voice acting has no place in Skyrim

[QUOTE="ceelogic"]

Esbern anyone

princeofshapeir

And the demon you meat in the mission with the Dwemer cube. He sounded like Satan from South Park.

But yeah, Sheogorath and Molag Bal are reason enough for this game to have voice acting.

The voice acting is good just like Oblivion. The problem is the same, the random generic NPC's that sometimes have incorrect voices or sound like an important NPC that maybe you just met moments ago, and sometimes it can get annoying.

The voice acting is fine, it's not great, but it's not horrible either.

Seriously, are people running out of things to complain about? Oh this game only has hundreds of hours of gameplay, but the voice acting isn't perfecT!

Not everyone can be Sheogorath from Oblivion... Skyrim does have Cicero though, probably my favorite.lamprey263

If you ask me, Cicero is right up there with the Adoring Fan in terms of annoyingness.

I think the voice acting was actually really well done considering the vast amount of dialogue needed to be recorded. Some real standout characters like Paarthanax come to mind.

It's an improvement over Oblivion, so stop complaining. At least the entire province isn't filled with people that sound like the court mage in Whiterun.

The voice acting isn't terrible and you clearly haven't palyed enough games if you think so but I will admit that it is spotty at times as well is the dialouge, but nothing is horrible here. Most of it is decent and some do pull off a good performance.

Skyrim's voice acting is God-like compared to Oblivions. I see no problem here :)

I think some are memorable. Cicero, Molag Bal, Esbern, Arngier, Paarthurnax, I could go on.

the prompted, scripted dialogue is all very good.

the background noise dialogue is very bad. I can live with most of it but I almost want to tell my party members to eff off because they are like a broken record. There should have been some limiter in their programming that made them only say specific pieces of dialogue less frequently (or better yet give them a lot more impromtu dialogue to say).

edit: They made the same problem in New Vegas. In Skyrim it's worse. It seems while walking through town everyone is saying things in your direction. It feels like Truman Show and everyone is screwing it up

wow, cool. Adding a mod doesn't hurt your save files does it?

Don't try to blame voice acting for Beth's inability to write 3-dimensional characters and good stories. That's all on them.

The same exact problem as oblivion. Can someone tell me why this game is superior to it's predecessor? It's got the exact same flaws!

Dear lord, that was pretty terrible :lol:

That's like PS1 Resident Evil bad.

I kept hearing characters with same voice actors, which is very very very annoying.

Without voice acting, it would lose immersion. At least Skyrim's voice acting isn't as terrible as Oblivion's.

And apparently not gameplay either

The game's only 3.9GB while installed on the XBOX 360 HD. Compared to Red Dead, which is 6.9GB.

I'm pretty sure adding a voice to the main character, and getting new voice actors would have been a good idea. Can someone tell me why this game is getting so much praise? I bought it yesterday, and am not thrilled with it at all.
