Combat sounds

[dolby]

Like the topic say do you like combat character sounds or not?

The likes of selection sounds, critical hits yelling, spell casting, pain-hit moaning and other similar sounds.

I think they could really make Tb combat more lively... I know so far it was only alpha gameplay so it was all quiet and i like the spell effects sounds so far. I hope they add more stuff, combat chatter.

Personally I would like some sounds. Chants or incantations for the spells with a verbal component, some kind of gesture for the sematic component would also be cool.

Also, I think it would be cool if companions had catch-phrases or a saying unique to them. Whether it's "Go for eyes boo!" "Go for the optics t'chika!" or something else.

Whatever they do, I want the gameplay to be on point. These battle sounds are more like frosting on the cake.

Apparently, the spell incantations will be the same as in the originals. A dev said that they were voice recording latin which is what the original incantations were.

Yeah, i agree that this is more off a polish combat kind of thing and with a bad base combat sounds will not help...

But on the other hand if we want a new masterpiece we need stuff like this.

I would love spell incantations as well. i guess that would be alot of extra work. Larian did do the full voice so who knows.

If one looks at
"You must gather your party before venturing forth" something so simple turned iconic... i wonder if anyone would turn off the extra sounds if given the options...
