Your Character's Voice : V

» Mon Jun 11, 2012 10:01 pm

When playing, do you give your character a voice?

For instance, I recently started giving my Bosmer Sneak-Thief a Cockney-English accent... I'm only glad other people are not in the room when I am doing it. :blush:

What about you? Or do you prefer to hear the words in your head?

Talking to your computer is a bad sign.

I... don't..... but if I did imagine a voice for my sneakmage it would probaly sound just like all the other female Khajiits in Skyrim.

I talk to my computer at times. I might curse when I die. "I said, cast Fast Healing *bleep* it!" Find a boss chest with loot I dont like "Worthless crap." I do something really cool "Oh, that was epic."

Well yes.... cursing at inanimate objects I do all the time but not narrating or voicing my characters voice. If it leaves room to be said by my character I'll think what they said. If I started saying what I though in a female Khajiit accent my wife would think I'm bonkers.

The only voice my char's have is mine when I am cussing at them for not doing something fast enough, which is really cussing at myself. Or smart @$$ answer's to some of the NPC's, specially the boy in Dragons Reach. Licking boot's... uhuh...not. Won't say what i did say :confused:

but my Hubby gave me a funny look.

I guess there was this one time completly yelled at some NPC's out loud because they urked me.

Spoiler

I was doing the quest where your teacher takes you through Sarthaal and the other students start F'n talking me and I said "shut up, the teacher is talking you dip." and I raced ahead so I could hear him.

My character sounds like a Mexican transvestite on helium.

No, because I can't imitate voices. But in my head they all have different accents.

I usually imagine them in my head, but sometimes comment on events or during battle.

My Nord has a slick but sometimes bored-sounding voice, while my Altmer is more curious and wondery-sounding.
Meanwhile my Argonian doesn't sound like a chain smoker, but like a silly, high-pitched girl which is ... not an improvement.
My Khajiit sounds a bit Russian.

My character's voice, in my head at least, is stuck to the dragon shouts.

In order to imagine a different accent/inflection I would probably have to do a playthrough the completely avoids the main quest... :blink:

I'm really bad at accents so my Imperial thief/smith goes from sounding like Karl Pilkington (Idiot Abroad) to sounding like some random Russian guy. It's actually pretty amazing to hear the seemless transition between the two.

My Redguard sounds like Mr.T and he pities the fool! :biggrin:

» Tue Jun 12, 2012 2:42 am

I actually talk out loud to no one, but I'm more commentating on how I'm playing as I do so, rather than voicing my character.

"There's a trap there, I'll avoid it because that's a good sign some enemies are ahead."

"Yup, there's the enemy, I'll take him on and if I need help I'll kite him back to the trap."

"RUN RUN! OH THANK GOD THE TRAP! Phew, he's taken care of. Didn't expect him to be a Master Vampire."

I always use Gordon Freeman's voice.

J'rahzir sounds simply like J'rahzir. No need to sound like someone one is not when one is someone he is.

» Mon Jun 11, 2012 3:30 pm

I imagine my own voice for my main character. He's mostly myself. And I talk to my computer in English, because I've Thuumic mod installed for some voice commands. "Horse!...Horse! Here boy. Where did it go?" :smile:

THIS.

Well, I recently got the PC mod Thuumic Shouter, which allows me to use my headset for Shouting. Unfortunately, the headset broke the following day. I guess it was too epic or something.

I use an English accent so that's what my character get, whenever I feel like replying IRL. It happens too often, really.

Didn't the Oblivion forum use to have a topic about replies given to NPCs? That was a lot of fun.

I do have a voice in my head that plays before I select a dialogue option. My character sounds like Wes Johnson, the voice actor for - among others - Imperial males in Oblivion.

I give all my characters a voice in my head and then a personality.

Lol

I Like to shout at the screen "by azura by azura by azura"

» Mon Jun 11, 2012 3:18 pm

I do give my characters voices, but I imagine them speaking in my head, I don't actually do it out loud.

Well... Sometimes when I'm home alone... I might possibly do it... maybe...
Shhh, don't tell anyone... :ermm:
