Starfield's Main Character Is Silent So The World Can Be Huge angielski

Prox, rok temu

Personally, I’m not a fan of this trend that’s been semi-standard since at least Halo: Reach. The whole silent protagonist thing really takes me out of the game; I would much rather hear any voice for my character.

Contrast this with, say, Cyberpunk 2077 where the main character talks quite a bit. This makes me feel way more like a real person in the game world.

It isn’t a trend, it is standard for Bethesda games.

I disagree, the voiced protagonist in Fallout 4 really limited the role playing aspects. I felt like most conversation prompts ended up being

A. Yes, I’ll do that B. Yes, I’ll do that but be a sarcastic dick about it C. No, but actually still yes I’ll do that D. Leave conversation

And the previews were useless. I ended up being a sarcastic dick most of the time when I wasn’t trying to.

I don’t really want to hear my character talk in an RPG where I am making the character and supposedly have my own background, look and sound in mind and am the one selecting what that character says. Unless if they have tons of different voices, like old Bioware RPGs did, I would prefer to just read it myself and give whatever voice I want. It immerses me in the game much more, where I feel like the character I am playing because I am given opportunity to say the dialogue choices my self.

I think it all depends on what sort of game you have, specifically if it is story driven or immersion/exploration driven.

Halo Reach is story driven and would have absolutely benefitted from a voice. Mass Effect was primarily story driven and the voiced protag worked great.

Fallout 4 is the opposite and a silent protag would have been better as silent, like in Fallout 3 or Elder Scrolls games.

I demand a dedicated button on the controller that makes my character say, “Soo… that just happened”

Good, unless you’re writing is going to be top notch I don’t need my character having three word lines that make me a dick no matter what I pick.

“Welcome to our RPG, please select your dialogue options:

1. Yes
2. sarcastic yes
3. funny yes
4. yes but later

Enjoy your ‘role play’”

Fallout 4 was a nightmare from a character standpoint. I don’t have much faith in Bethesda writing, but at least we’ll be able to have more options than the above. Maybe, just maybe, we’ll even have skill checks back.

I would absolutely love skill checks being back!

I find talking protagonists in RPGs with customizable characters a two edged sword. It can work out great, but if your voice not fit the character you're playing, or is even highly dislikable for you, then it becomes a real big issue in regards to immersion and enjoyment. Silent protagonists allow you to use a specific headvoice for your character.
