Bethesda's voice actors have gotten so bad...

[YeenBean]

That they don't even try to play it off as being good. They're at the point they go "No, it's a feature! See??" with that vendor on Mars who's like "Oh, my accyent? Yeah, no, it might sound strange, but it's actually byecause I lyived hyere and thyere and is dyefinitely not a piss-poor Russian accyent by someone who clearly isn't Russian, no no no!"

[YeenBean]

It's *intentionally* bad! Uh-huh!

They should just hire me to do all the voices. What I lack in talent i more than make up for in willingness to work for free

It sounds like a bad Russian accent....because its not Russian? My ears are old, but she sounds more like a Latvian or Estonian than Russian

I'm talking about the man who explicitly mentions how bad his accent is.

And... I don't know... the fact that that was somehow mistaken for some other bad accent in the game probably isn't a good sign xD

People do realise a lot of studios had to do a crap ton of their voices in-house with the current Writer and Actors' guild strikes?

Believe it or not, The Voice actor's unions have to go too.

But this game was in development for 8 years and that strike happened a few months ago.

And what happens if you need to add or change the voice lines as often happens and that actor isn't available anymore?

It's a problem on projects I've worked on the last year and probably fairly common. you don't stop writing and voicing dialog just because there's only a year or two left on your project.

I hear too much Swedish accents from random citizens.

It's a 'feature'?

THey dont need hentai voice actors, sorry

I think there are 300 (?) voice actors in SF, but I guess they all did their lines in a studio just reading their script.

BG3 for example did voice acting in "motion capture" which made actors to actually perform their roles. One of the reasons it is so much better in BG3 compared to SF.

The way Bethesda is promoting cultural appropriation is disturbing. But it proves one thing: Left wing ideologues ain't playing the game, otherwise they would be triggered by it's blatant racism.
And don't get me on Aurora. The "fish creatures" ain't fish. It's an intelligent alien life form, which gets slaughtered en mass for a drug. Since when is it o.k. to promote genocide? I want to blow up the oil platform which is called Neon so hard, I swear...
