Character voice

Does your character have any type of voice? Combat grunts/vocals even when you attack at the least?

    No. Somehow I like the cutscenes without my character babbling (giving a bit sinister feel). In so many games they have funny or awkward character voices.

     

    Edit: Your character is silent in combat too.

    Thank you, thought I read somewhere that you could hear other players voice in combat. I am a fan of silent so my character feels more personal to me.

    That's exactly what I feel too. We are on the same boat. I'm pretty sure you can't hear other players voices either. I have healed through couple of dungeons and don't remember I heard my team members voices. But, some of the mobs (filth-babblers one of my favorites so far) have really great voices. Listen carefully what they speak and they are the mob type meant to be just as a cannon fodder! 

    And you can't forget the incredible voiceacting they have in npc dialogues. The story is great all I can say. I'm not a fan of "theme park" type of games (I'm playing Eve Online) but TSW managed to get me hooked right from the start. I can accept the gamemechanics as they are because I like the atmosphere and the story so much,

    I don't know if they have changed it, but one thing that anoyed me the most in GW2  was the fact that you couldn't turn off the characters comments during combat... They were so anoying... In WOW, for instance, I turned off the "error messages sounds"... I prefer silent characters to be honest and specially in combat.

    me too. I hate how in WoW and guild wars 2, swtor etc. All humans etc. sound exactly the same. Even the emotes. It's like were a whole bunch of clones with different hair color running around

    If you had a bee stuck in your throat you'd be silent too. ;)

    Yeah, The Bees do not talk.  Many NPC's make reference to that.  It seems that being infused with ungodly amounts of Anima has one downfall, your voice....

     

    But however, I have thought I have heard grunts and "hiya" in some moves.....  Maybe not.

    I have to agree, I preferred the silent approach in TSW where I could basically fill in my responses rather than listen to those provided for me as was the case in SWTOR.

    See, that is what I thought.  I don't think it is consistent though.  But I swear when I am running around I hear other players doing moves.  Brandish (Blade Skill) seems to be one of the skills you get a random grunt or yell in there.

  • Tgiordano92Tgiordano92 Member UncommonPosts: 168
    Yeah for whomever cares: You can hear your own character grunting when you are low on health and getting attacked

    I know its a fun discussion, but i dont think lore wise your silence would be because of the anima...The bee perhaps.

    Well, that is what I meant actually.  A bee lodges itself in your throat, infuses you with mana and they seem to not talk anymore.

     

    Yeah, I meant the bee.  Sorry that was unclear.
