Trader talk

[nannyoggins]

Since the game offers the player the choice of male or female character, do you think we might at some point have some trader dialogue that acknowledges this fact?
I swear the next time Trader Joel says. "You the man" , Im gonna introduce him to my new sledge turret and give him a demonstration up close and personal like!
I know the game is in ea and I trust that this is a fix for later alphas, I'll be really irritated if the trader dialogue is just idly left as it is.
While we are on the subject of trader upgrades, since Trader Jen has clearly been pimped up [pun intended], how about adding some male traders that don't look like they are two thirds of the way to zombie, and have bathed in one of those "filled" tubs that you find in some of the more questionable POIs?

Probably going to be fixed when the story gets added, as they need new voice lines for that.

I may have touched on this elsewhere, but the random character generator should be good enough to handle random zeds, traders, and bandits. It's all essentially the same physical properties, zeds just have animations they're bound by.

I think they're wasting time finessing the way zombies look. They're basically hard baking monotony into zombies. I would rather see random characters in fixed animations or effects. Special class of random zombies, etc.

This would breath a great deal of life into the dead. Even with fixed animations, they can flip the animation skeleton coordinated left and right and double the animation variety in numerous circumstances.

So, what? You want him to say 'you the woman'? Because that's not actually a saying.

Oh, man... (or should that be oh, woman?) Joel is the nice one. If you’re mad at him, just wait until you get an earful from Trader Rekt!

And the woman's trading post still uses the man's "open/close" lines.

Yeah, but they all refer to "Traitor Joel's" anyway. It's plausible that Traitor Joel's is a franchise, or the post-apocalyptic equivalent thereof (note the identical signage), and the announcements are understood to be pre-recorded.

I'm hoping to see more White River establishments.

It's funny when trader Hugh sends me to see trader Hugh.

Thank god there's usually only one loudmouth trader, I got so tired of his dialogue I moved my base.

More than acknowledge gender, I want the traders own voice to say closing/open, not joel for everything.
