Fallout 4 IMDB Page and Creation Kit Hint

Post » Sun Dec 06, 2015 3:32 am

I don't know how many of you have had the opportunity to take a look at the IMDB Fallout 4 cast of voice actors but the sheer volume of them might mean more freedom inside the creation kit once it is released with an expanded list for dialogue and voice options.

In Skyrim and Fallout 3 and NV there were a couple of main characters that had specific voice actors/actresses but the remainder of the characters were typically divided up among 4-5 male and 4-5 female voice actors. Meaning there was a lot of repetition in the character's voices due to recycling the actors. That doesn't seem to be the case with F4. The IMDB page lists over 100 voice actors each with no more than 4 characters. Most only voice 2-3.

What this means is that when creating new NPCs for F4 there should be 15-20x more voices to choose from already stocked within the creation kit when assigning your NPC's a voice and dialogue. Hopefully allowing a great deal of diversity for NPC related mods.

actually, the first thing I noticed was the increase in voice actors. Vs Skyrim where like 3 people voice EVERYONE IN SKYRIM, with hardly any change in accent or attitude. That did grate on me in that game. Glad to say the VOs did a brill job in FO4, I think I've yet to talk to an NPC and think "ah, thats the same VO as that trader I talked to ten minutes ago".

There were 90 voice actors in Skyrim. This is a larger number than most AAA roleplaying games that have been released during the past decade.

Even more amazing: Morrowind, with almost no voice acting, had 13.
