So, just as the title says, Fallout 4 supposedly has 111,000 lines of dialouge.

I think thats a new record?

I do know thats 46,000 more then NV at least.

In terms of the style of game, probably. Including MMO's with huge expansions, it probably doesn't have some of the bigger ones beat.

Well, these are voice acted lines.

MMOs are still mostly silent.

SWTOR might have it beat though.

SWTOR, and the likes, including VA's are the MMo's I was referring to. Probably should have elaborated. They aren't my strongsuit however. Never really go into them.

You would think this might calm some of those it's not an rpg fears. Just saying

Then again some folks might be thinking 80000 of them lines are just Ron Perlman saying War war never changes in different tones o voice, and maybe pretending ta be a ghoul or a girl or bot. Though thinking about that hard, hell what a selling point I would buy it.

110k lines spoken by the protagonist - that's not counting other npc's..

No, its 13k lines spoen by the protag

Not accusing of you anything, but do you have a source?

>In an interview with Telegraph, director Todd Howard revealed that voice actors Courtenay Taylor and Brian T. Delaney have spent two years recording over 13,000 lines of dialogue each for the upcoming Fallout 4.

ninja'ed.

Well at least I was ninja'ed by an awesome possum, and not some average, everyday, run-of-the-mill possum..

which kinda makes sense since ya gotta get up pretty early to ninja the love-ninja..

Well played marsupial of magnificence, well played

When it releases Fallout 4 will have the world record for most voiced lines in a video game, although not lines total. New Vegas was the previous holder, and before that Fallout 3. It even beats out a lot of the other games on that list that are text-based RPGs or else that virtual novel thing ive never played. Good work, Bethesda.

Awesome is correct, 110K is the total overall. 13K is the Protag's

13k for each voice, meaning 26 in total. I wonder if the SS's wife or husband gets involved in the plot somehow. Since I plan to play one character forever, I'll be missing out on Nora's lines with my male character.

My guess is that whatever six you choose, after the tutorial, the other half will never be heard from again.

But, the child on the other hand...well, we'll have to wait and see on that. I do however, have doubts Beth would go through the time and trouble of having the baby's appearance dependent on the parent's looks, only to kill him ten minutes into the game.

Thing is, it isn't any time or trouble. They already had that appearance blending sorted for FO3, so the dad's appearance was derived from the player's chosen appearance. Heck, that might just be a basic feature of the face gen middleware or their face sculpt software.

And it'd be mad for the baby to look nothing like either parent (or they'd have to stick in a line about it being adopted).

Anyway, back on topic, it'll be interesting to see just where all these lines of dialogue come from. Will it be from more in-depth side-quests, from a much larger main quest, from the more in-depth companions, from more conversation between NPCs, or just evenly spread among all those?

Agreed with this.

But I'm curious as to how the Sole Survivor is going to look after a baby (even within solely the narrative) presuming it does indeed survive the events that transpire in V111?

Unless the baby is a protracted plot device over the course of the game; being kidnapped by unscrupulous sorts until a final resolution near or at the end of the game?

I'm intrigued to see how Bethesda implements a baby without imposing it on the character (in regards to the narrative) or the player as some sort of game mechanic (unless codsworth becomes the de facto father)...

Edit:

This is conclusory, but there has to be something salient we're ignorant of in regards to dialogue.

Presuming that Fallout 4 is roughly the same size (world size) as FONV and FO3 with an equivalent amount of NPCs, that would imply that every NPC on average would have possibly double (or more) the dialogue of the NPCs in FO3 or FONV.

Maybe this is just blind cynicism but I have considerable doubts that this is so.There might be a new feature that requisites such an aggrandizement of dialogue, like T.V shows as well as radio channels for example.

This statistic definitely makes me happy to hear. I was very concerned about dialogue options.

Does anyone know how this statistic stacks up to the elder scrolls games' dialogue, by any chance?

Should have made it 111,111 lines of dialog to correspond to Vault 111

Todd Howard said the world size is about the size of skyrim, if the mountains were flattened/not taking up all that room. I highly doubt there will be more dialouge per NPC, and thank god for that. I hated the insane amount of dialouge that Graham had at the start of honest hearts. Or maybe it was just too much too quick.

or, 11-11-11...something I'd rather not be reminded of too much.

I'm actually surprised by the amount of people here (in BGSF as a whole) who don't seem to find dialogue very important or who prefer to have less of it than more. I personally prefer as much dialogue as possible, as it gives me more immersion and more motivation to explore different areas and interact with more NPCs. I would actually argue that it would be objectively better to include more dialogue than less, due to the sole fact that, at worst, if one dislikes dialogue with random NPCs in towns, all they'd have to do is just not interact with those NPCs. The problem isn't fixable if the lesser approach is taken.

I'm very happy with this news, though, as it shows that they are definitely working on this. If I had to choose a voiced protagonist and an abundance of dialogue and NPC personality vs. a silent protagonist and Skyrim-esque dialogue options or worse, I'd take the former option any day of the year.

I can agree with that. I really feel like Skyrim was way too rushed and I think the gimicky deadline played a large role in that, all things considered.

Except Skyrim wasn't rushed, and the release date had nothing to do with cut content.

It's definitely not a 1:1 increase in every area, but I don't think you have to be so cynical. There wouldn't be 50k lines of regular NPC dialog and then 30k lines of radio pvssyr. I'm expecting generic NPCs to say about the same amount of things you'd expect them to say, but there will be more unique NPCs and they'll all have a lot more to say, like companions.
