What game was created as a "passion project" as opposed to being created for "profit?"

Same, the female voice sounded nice whenever she speaks. Except she couldn't quite nail the silver shroud voice. The male voice did the silver shroud voice better.

You have no idea how many times i have restarted the game because i just can't stand the lifeless voice of Nate.

I love the fact that John Cleese did some of Codsworth <3
Shame he quit/left/whatever happened...

For those thinking it's NOT Mr.Cleese:
- It was advertised/promoted as such at E3 and other media sources
- You can totally hear it is him, it is obvious to those that grew up hearing him speak on television and in real life (stage, interviews)
- He says some Python lines ("tis' but a scratch!" et al)

Although I don't know what happened exactly, not all of the lines Codsworth speaks (which should have been named COGSWORTH imo (maybe it was changed)) are Mr.Cleese. You can tell the voiced parts that sound aged/raspy/breathy are Mr.Cleese, the rest are all the very talented Stephen Russell 'imitating'/doing a Mr.Cleese/Butler-esque bit.

It must have been quite a curfuffle, to make them take his name (Cleese) off of the Credits ENTIRELY...


Edit:
Reading up on 'the Mr.Cleese of today', it seems he is "tired" of the whole process - he won't even be making movies anymore, he's just sick of the processes of it all. Perhaps after saying tons of names and lines over and over, he just... walked out? "Just" Severance Pay and then his name stricken is his punishment. Fitting, but odd, perhaps.

Edit2:
I'm sorry, I hate to speak with authority on things I don't know 100%, and I never lie - I do really think it is Mr.Cleese, it sounds just like him, including the inflections and you can hear him 'tightening his neck' like J.C. does... Anyway, the finishing of the game with Mr.Russell is no missing anything, it is all wonderful... What was I talking about? Oh yes, that I don't mean to sound so overbearing when I don't know something 100%, but I swear it is... him (at least for parts of it).

If I may pop back in to make a Suggestion:

If you REALLY hate it, turn off Voices (Voice Volume = 0) and turn on Subtitles and General Subtitles?

(although then you will not be able to hear anyone else, sadly)

My main is Nora, but sometimes i have problems dealing with situations that is clearly made for a male protagonist. I just wish bethesda had put more peaceful options to solve missions without having to fall into violence again and again.

The voice acting is excellent.

i know nothing about the male voiced protagonist since i always play female ( i have yet to play a Bethesda game where i didn't spend 500 hours in game). If i have to look at an ass for 500 hours, i want it to be a female. I thought the voice acting for Nora was quite good. I like the sound of her voice, and i think she was just dramatic enough in the scenes that counted. i wish Bethesda would have allowed us to have options of how emotional her voice was. In the opening you get to be smart ass with the guy about getting pregnant in the park. This line suggests to me that maybe Nora didn't really want the kid. Giving us a voiced protagonist that just didn't care would have helped with my usual approach to the game: ignoring the main quest. But i do think she did a good job. I have heard others complain about the male voice acting, but i can't give an opinion on this for reasons i already stated.

The voiced protagonist is great, but something in the options to turn it off or on wouldnt hurt anyone. Option to turn off same sex dialog or on is a must also.

can't you do this in audio? I hated the dialogue wheel more than the voiced protagonist, but this can be modded away quite easily. i suppose shutting off the voices makes all the characters silent. That wouldn't be good. So i guess i see your point, flippy. Bethesda should have allowed us to turn off just the protagonist voice. Maybe Creation Club can get us this. it might be worth a buck or 2 if someone hates the voiced protagonist. I know they will be using some kind of fake dollars that you buy with real money. Not sure what the conversion rate will be at this point.
