Incline Disco Elysium - The Final Cut - a hardboiled cop show isometric RPG

[Harthwain]

Full voice acting is the norm for Point and Click Adventure games like Disco Elysium, I was mostly surprised that it didn't feature full voice acting at launch.

Point and Click Adventure games doesn't have a fucking million words (oh sorry, a million + 150000 in final cut). I can't even imagine how much work it is for VO.

Also you are retarded.

He's just trying to be cheeky.

By the way, try voice acting this point & click adventure game game*. Like, the whole of it:

Spoiler

* Yes, the repetition is there on purpose.

Gettin' the actors back to provide more VO for their characters iseems pretty standard. It's the addition of brand new VO for the skills that makes me wonder and worry.

 

[JarlFrank]

Full voice acting is terrible.

I liked the VA in Disco Elysium. Sad that I'll have to switch it off now, because full VA fucks up my own reading pace.

Store really needs an actual horrific necktie, not just a pin with it.

I want an official version rather than some bootleg version like this https://www.etsy.com/listing/779015559/disco-elysium-horrific-necktie

I think a good compromise for people with reading OCD, would be to only see list of dialogues that you click, and then when other character talks you don't see a text, UNLESS you click to expand. This way people would listen to voice over, instead of reading and listening at the same time which is horrible.

That would just make me click more.

Even in games like New Vegas and Fallout 4 I switch on subtitles, read them, and skip ahead to the next line when I've read it, rather than wait for the voice actor to finish.

I guess you don't like audiobooks either right? Why so hurry? Then for people like you i guess the only option would be to put whole dialog in dialog log AFTER the dialog. This way you would have no way to click and read. If you missheard something you could always exit the dialogue and check.

You guys realize that the in-game options have "Voiceover Volume" so you can just bring it down to 0?

But i want to hear and listen to dialogues, it's just that i have OCD, and whenever there's also a text to read i read it and dont listen to dialogue. It's annoying me. Im just wired that way.

I don't like audiobooks, no. I have never listened to one. I prefer to read books.

Why force a player who doesn't wanna listen to voiced dialogue to do so? I prefer reading at my own pace. Having to wait for voice actors to finish talking makes me antsy. I don't enjoy it.

It's great if you commute a lot. Or don't have space/free hands at the moment. Or exercise. Also, it doesn't have to be audiobooks. You can listen to documentaries, too (or any video/audio, really).

"Selling communism since 2019" has a certain ring to it, doesn't it?

They don't usually come with subtitles, though.

 

[Scrounger]

JarlFrank, it's mostly some unconfirmed rumors but I heard they actually voiced every characters in parts, like in the present version of the game...
In any case, months are ahead of us so if they voiced all of the lines, we could ask them to add toggle off/on option, it shouldn't be that hard!
(I mean if they really gone that far, this could be a very nice option)

 

[tripedal]

Apparently even the skills are voiced! Wonder if they got 24 different actors? Maybe one per attribute?

Voice acting is the last thing this game needs.

And it so happens that it is the last thing the game is getting.

 

[Scrounger]

Haha Jesus! :D
Not quite happy, I still hope for an option.
Also, that autistic dedication...either way, it will be interesting!

 

[turbo elephant]

Of course I just bought it on sale a few days ago. Well I will just play the Original 'Reader's Digest' Edition (TM)

"Your voiceovers are shitty quality, expensive, and as a small side effect, interfere with just reading"
"We have a solution, which is to make reading so inconvenient and annoying that you'd sit there and listen!"

Fuck no, is this the same design principle behind customer service lines where it is fucking god damned impossible to get through to a human and they won't even let you press 0 now

Communists can't hold onto vast amounts of $$$ at once without feeling intense guilt, so hopefully by hiring Patrick Stewart for 3 minutes of voice acting they'll solve that problem...

This is decline. Since skills are a part of your personality they should all talk with your voice. I LOVED the fact that a single actor made VOs for both Ancient Reptilian Brain and Limbic System and now they are retconning this
