Breaking dialogue records?

Post » Wed Dec 02, 2015 7:24 pm

Fallout New Vegas features 65,000 lines of dialogue---the most ever in a single player RPG. That being said, is Fallout 4's 111,000 lines breaking any world records?

I think The Old Republic MMORPG had something like 200K+, so no.

I believe it's more than Skyrim and F3 combined. Which is nevertheless an incredible amount.

Right it was something like that, and that's incredible. It's going to be awesome.

They said there were over 13,000 lines for each of the protagonists, and all in all there are over 111,000 lines of voice acting in the entire game. Not sure what other games compare - or if that's even a good metric to compare with other games.

I imagine "lines" by Bethesda's metric would be each line of dialog after being separated into chunks. The dialog system they use breaks dialog up into 140 character chunks so that they don't have too many subtitles on the screen at once.

Doesn't matter, SWTOR blows everything else out of the water, so it should be mentioned in case people aren't in the know.

I'm not so sure Star Wars the Old Republic blows everything out of the water.

World of Warcraft has about 3 million lines of dialogue and 6 million spoken words.

Most of it is names. I mean, if all voice actors have 1000+ names? Can only speculate, but my guess it is not only Codsworth who mentions the player by name.

Everything we've been told implies that Codsworth is the only NPC that refers to us by name. It's one thing to have one voice actor spend an extra week in the studio re-recording a few dozen lines with thousands of different names - it's another to do that for scores of voice actors.
