Yes, English only. I personally am not qualified to judge voice acting in any other language. -Trent
Just a little question about that: does it mean the voice are not going to be translated at all (which would be really sad because that means I will not be able to use them, game would sound weird) or just that you cannot judge the quality of the translation?
I mean, Bioware did translate everything at that time, there should be a way for you to do it now
To localize the voice sets to other languages and hire quality voice actors to act those parts out in all languages is currently out of our reach. We will translate the text, but the V/O is only in English for ship.
I don't really need any new voices, there's one I already like the best. It sounds just like the 'Brooding Dark Hero' from Neverwinter Nights, but quieter.
But I am not going to decline new ones! I seaport.
It could be actually. Mark Meer had pretty damn small parts in Shadows of Amn (one of the robed dudes for the ending cinematic) and a big of a bigger part in Throne of Bhaal, albeit a short one (Cyric)
As far as I know, no appearance in BG1, not sure though.
I almost always play a female character and didn't like my choices Im very glad we will have more...more is always better, unless your talking fireants.
@Immagikman I have to agree with you about the female voice sets. Some of the representative dialogue sounded downright evil. Like the one with "All will DIE!"
Could we have a "For the Light!" battle cry, or something that sounds heroic and from a good character rather than "I am evil and willing to kill anything in my path." type stuff?
*pours honey on himself and lets fire ants crawl over him. Glances at the board* Hey, what's with the fire ant hate? These guys *ow* are my budd*ow*ies.
People always say they want better voicesets (which I totally agree with) but they don't say exactly what they want. So here's what I'd personally like, voiced with an Irish (Moonshaes) accent.
Male PC Battle Cry: I'll try to make your death a quick one Becoming Leader: The greatest warriors lead from the front Tired: *yawns* I need a good drink, a bad woman and a soft bed Bored: My sword arm's getting a bit twitchy here Badly Wounded: Kindof...bleeding to death here. Just thought you might want to know Selected 1+2+3: Your orders? Need something done right? How may I serve? Action Acknowledge 1+2+3: As you wish. Of course. Right away. In Forest: I wonder if there's any dryads in this forest? I've, uh, heard good things about em. In City: Is there a tavern that serves a decent black ale around here? I could use a break. In Dungeon: And so the noble heroes walked around in the darkness, trying desperately not die horrible bloody deaths at the hands of...traps and things. Daytime: Lovely day for a stroll. Sun's a bit hot, though. Could go for a bit o' shade. Nighttime: There's nothing quite like a moonlit stroll in Selune's embrace. Reaction to Party Member Death: I'll avenge ya, comrade
@AurenRavidel Nice idea to lay things out like this. Hope you don't mind if I use your template. I also added a few new entries like critical hit acknowledgements and death!
Here's my idea for a smart-mouthed guy.
Battle Cry: Everything dies. It just happens to be your turn! Becoming Leader: Well, I don't want to say I told you so, or anything, but... Tired: *yawns* Why do now what you can do after a nap? Bored: Be an adventurer, they said. It'll be exciting, they said. Badly Wounded: All this...haha...blood loss is giving me a case of the, heh, giggles!
Death: *whispered, raspy* Be sure to revive me...or I'll haunt you...
Selected 1+2+3: Mhm? I'm ready. The Hells do you want?
Annoyed 1 + 2: Keep poking like that and I'm going to think somebody's got a crush. Haha, but seriously, cut it out.
Action Acknowledge 1+2+3: Sure. If you say so. There better not be a trap over here.
Critical Hit Acknowledge: Ohohoho! It hurts SO good!
In Forest: Whose idea was it to come here? We're just begging for a random encounter. In City: Nice change of pace from the woods. Here, the feces is all conveniently in one place! In Dungeon: Admittedly, this IS a pretty swanky lair. Daytime: Where's a villain plotting to destroy the sun when you need one? I'd definitely be that guy's henchman. Nighttime: It's funny to think there could be ahnkeg spit headed right towards me as I speak, and I just can't see it. Did I say funny? I meant horrifying. Reaction to Party Member Death: Let's not resurrect them. They're kind of annoying.
We can't accept any of your scripts for use in-game via this medium for a variety of reasons (many of them legal). Having said that, you've got the basis for a great fan mod here if you put it together.

The guy who did Shepard?

Actually I really appreciate the +3 female voice set. I didn't like most of the original female voices... Hope to meet my perfect match !
I only speak english, but hell seeing as I played Bauldurs Gate so much, maybe if I played it in another language I'd finish TOB fluent.
Edit* Though clearly I can't spell the games name properly so maybe I'll stick to English for awhile...

Yeah, fat chance of that :P
