Wtf is going on with Innkeeper Betty’s ridiculous VO?

[flyingoffthetrack]

Like what in the actual ♥♥♥♥ were they thinking? She sounds like something out of a particularly low budget 70s Swedish porn dub.

And you believe it is not a deliberate easter egg?

idk sounds like normal cheesy voiceacting to me.. easter eggs are generally hidden, thats why theyre called easter eggs, cos you have to go around searching for them

All the VA is off in the open world.

Like the switch to politest vendor in the universe to gruff peasant from the same person within a sentence.

I imagine there's a good bit of AI going on to save on budget.

Easter eggs never had to be hidden.

Her dialogue in cut scenes is fine as it is done by a voice actor. Her dialogue outside of cut scenes such as general dialogue and trading is done by AI. That is why it sounds like her accent is changing 3 times in the one sentence at times.

ok ok. deliberate easter egg it is then. not cheesy and/or AI voice acting at all.

Yeah aside from Henry and some of the main characters, alot of the voice acting is absolute garbage, stilted delivery and mispronunciations, I'll be playing it in Czech on next playthrough, hopefully it's not as bad as the English dub.

It is not AI... it is just very bad voicing. AI would at least be consistent with the accent but potentially sound a bit robotic, but if curated by someone with some talent it would be better.
PS If any game on steam uses any form of AI they have to state it on the store page.

Yeah I thought I was going mad or I just was not as familiar with different British accents as I thought I was. But weirdly her accent is fine at times then it just goes absolutely bizarre, like they had to rerecord some lines but they didn't have the original actress so they had to use some American with a similar sounding voice but she had no idea how to do any British accent.

It is so distracting I cant even pay attention to the actual content of her dialogue lol. Major oversight for a character you speak to so early on in the game

It's clearly a bug, it was a problem in the first game. Multiple people's voices change when they do specific lines together, or play dice.

[Beyond.Celsus]

It is quite clear that some voice lines are from different people

My guess is there were voice lines they missed while the actor was in studio and had to cut in voice lines from other actors in post

[Roaming Zombie]

It is fine. Still not as bad als elder scrolls.

After listening to NBA 2K15 voice acting..... This is quite tame for me lol.
