"Why don't you ask EUR-LOND GREY-MANE" : V - Skyrim

No, not even close to being as noticeable as the two different sounds of Esbern who has been claimed to have two voice actors, except I'm sure it's the same actor, but with different takes.

Who knows what they had to scrap in order to meet 11-11-11.

Christ, why is this still a thing?

Oblivion, Fallout even Morrowind and Daggerfall had quite a lot of cut, unfinished content in it, yet they did not had any clear release date.
Please stop blaming the release date, that means nothing.

What we could have kicked Ulfric out and spare his life originally? That svcks if they got rid of it....

You can also find remnants of the Markarth siege that was planned. Talks about weak points in the defense, and surprisingly enough, I found them in game. Outside the city if you go near the water canol you can find a path that leads into the walls.

I bet this is a remnant of some radiant quest plans. It seems like Skyrim had a much larger scope at one point and they probably did things like this so they could swap out people's names if necessary. Perhaps there was meant to be a competitor to Eorlund at some point. Who knows what they had to scrap in order to meet 11-11-11. There's a bunch of lines in the CK about Erikur becoming jarl of Solitude, and even lines of Ulfric saying he'll gather his belongings and give up his hold.

I gotta agree though, it sounds somewhat odd to hear the same exact pronunciation.

That sounds like a good explanation. I was sitting here scratching my head as to why they wouldn't just re-record the whole sentence. I was like "wtf does a word recording cost significantly less than a full sentence recording or something??"

Can I go slightly off-topic and ask you what your theory is on this pile of bones in Dawnguard? Check it, on the bottom left: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v174/mr.people/dembonez.png

These fascinate the HELL outta me because they're such poor-quality and stick out like a sore-thumb. Likewise, on the right we can see the skull resource they'd already made and could've stuck in the ground instead, but for some reason chose not to. Instead they went out of their way to make a new, low-quality resource.

Logical fallacies fascinate me, dunno why.

I think it's that I'm convinced there MUST be a good explanation behind it that I'm just not seeing, so I end up spending ages trying to figure out. Your explanation for the Eorlund Grey-mane line? Gonna save me a sleepless night.

That svcks even more...

I thought the first post made it pretty clear.
She says his name exactly the same, as if they had to edit in a clip of her saying his name into the middle of each and every sentence where she says his name. Was asking to make sure I'm not the only one hearing it.

Is this another Senor Cinco assuming everything I say is a random unjustified hate on Skyrim without even bothering to read what I wrote? :biggrin:

Ha! Like I said...I missed something...Still, is it really THAT noticeable of an issue? I mean do I really need to play the "Sunny Smiles" card, here? :biggrin:

As for the rest of this debacle of a thread... :blink:

By the Butter-Cutter himself, just yesterday...

I dunno if you've noticed but I'm regularly in the Skyrim forums to say the game svcks and Bethesda needs to aim for more FO3/FO:NV quality for FO4 or TES6, so much so that a lot of people call me very mean names that make me sadface. :C You're kinda preaching to the choir here with the speech about voicing criticism to bring about change.

I don't (or didn't, until recently) have it in English? What does she do?

Only goof I know of off the top of my head is "LATER! >:E" but that's not Sunny Smiles, though I do remember her voice actor being constantly named as the worst in New Vegas.

Hehe...I forgot your non-engrish copy of games. She sounds like a big sister reading a bed time story to a younger sibling. That was one job from the casting couch....I jest a guess... :blush:

EDIT : However, this will be the last time, I ever comment on ANY voice acting ability or job, done there of, by ANY Voice Actor for Any game, soundbite or film..ever again. :bolt:

I can beat that!

In the German version of New Vegas? Whatever company did the voice-overs forgot they re-casted the voice of Mr. House.
So when you capture Hoover Dam in his name? He rolls up to you and his voice reveals him to be....DUN DUN DUUUUNN!!....a super mutant!!

I was shocked as hell the first time I saw it. Mr. House? A Super Mutant? Never saw it coming!
Then I found out it was just the German version. I was kinda disappointed, I found the super mutant twist more interesting.

It's a new texture that's why.

They are lower res, also those are not fully modeled skeletons just a texture, so it can be used more frequently in wide open areas like the one we see.

Bethesda needs to aim for more FO3/FO:NV quality

That is just hilarious...

But it's FUGLY. I don't even care about graphics quality; the whole game could be that quality and I wouldn't care. It's just the fact that it so OBVIOUSLY stands out from the quality of everything else that gets me to spend hours staring at it, scratching my head and wondering "why the hell is this here...." It's like they added it just to troll me and confuse the hell outta me, teasing my natural curiousity.

Why not just make higher res ones but make less of them? Or simply scrap the idea if it can't be done well?

Has anyone noticed this? That lady always pronounces his name exactly the same, as if they changed his name, opted to re-record her saying his name and editing it in to each sentence rather than re-recording the entire lines for some reason. That or there's a very interesting sub-plot involving her being a cyborg spy from another dimension.

I noticed this the first time I spoke to her. She sounds like a robot when she mentions him.

*Normal conversation with a citizen of whiterun progresses along nicely*

Having not played Dawnguard(PC user here), I'm not sure, looks like it's supposed to be some sort of skeleton dumping pit? Is that a cart with a skeleton in it to the right? I have no idea. All I know is that it's the Soul Cairn. I'm sure CK folks will be checking in to Dawnguard when it finally comes out for us too.

They changed the name?
