Can we change our character's voice?

Post » Sun Nov 29, 2015 8:43 pm

I don't know about the female voice, but I do not like the male's voice. He sounds like an over-excited teenager who just went through puberty. He either adds syllables to words (insta-maaaaash), squeaks, or goes all deep-voiced like he's trying to impress his girlfriend. Do we have any options for character voices, or are we stuck with this?

Bummer. Thank you for the reply, though.

I think you're strongly exaggerating when it comes to the male protags voice acting

No, I'm fairly certain I'm hearing him right. It's nothing against the voice actor, however, I just personally don't like the voice, or how parts of this particular voice reads the script. For instance, in a few areas I've been to so far, he'll add syllables to words, which isn't a major issue or anything, but still very annoying. For example, in the very beginning, if you check out the mashed potatoes, he'll say, "insta-maaaaash." Or, when you check out the comic (again at the beginning), he'll say, "my favorite!" in a very squeaky voice. Then, in standard dialogue, he goes into this very deep, coarse voice while talking, though sometimes he squeaks with the beginning word, and gradually falls into his "deep voice." All of those things, so far, have continually occurred with various items and in various interactions. These aren't things to exaggerate, they're just "there." It was just a simple question, though, because if there was the option to change your character's voice, I would like to change it, as I'm - personally - slightly annoyed every time my character talks about anything, or to anyone. Nothing against the voice actor, though, as the actual voice acting is good. I just don't like the voice, and that's subjective- I'm fairly certain others love the voice, and even if given options, this would be the voice they choose. Anyway, my question was already politely answered. I just wanted to give you a brief example of what I was referring to.

It's not terrible but it isn't great either, they way he says things annoys me too sometims. It seems like they recorded line after line rather than record each conversation individually (I know that would take forever so I don't expect that to happen) but it makes it very noticeable when he says things in a way that seem out of context.
The most annoying part is that without the voice I feel it would be a much better game imo.

My first character is a female and her voice acting is very inconsistent. In the same conversation she can sound tough, dumb and then bursts into tears whenever her son is mentioned. It's so annoying. Does that happen to the male character as well?

I created a female and i didnt really like her voice at first. I Absolutely loved Skyrim's human female player voice though, and kind of wanted something similar in FO4, or Jo Wyatt, but now i got used to it, and think it fits my character, i just wish she wouldnt go all sad with a shaky voice sometimes, cause she's definitely great when doing the badass lines, but the sad act feels like its coming right out of the 80's Dallas.

There's a quest called Silver Shroud near Goodneighbor. If you complete that you should get your fill of satisfying male protagonist dialogue.

Haven't done the male playthrough yet. I will say that it's difficult for me to roleplay my no-nonsense, tough, stiff upper lip badass female character when she sounds like she's about to start crying when she talks about her son. I know, I know, the game devs are trying to show how much pain she must be in given what happened, but still...

I don't like the male's voice, either. I may check the female voice out, and see if it's any better. You weren't the only one curious about options, though.

Lol, the voices are so terrible. What was Bethesda thinking? I hope this doesn't carry over to TES...
