God DAMMIT, just looked at this thread. Currently a few missions into the campaign, now I have to decide whether to tear myself away and wait for the voice acted version...

I'm gonna wait. Dammit. :)

I'm eagerly anticipating this! I've decided to hold off playing WiH until the voice acting is complete, so I can get the best experience in the first play through like I did with AoA.

Was thinking if it would be worth getting the scripts up for Acts 3, 4 and 5 (ok 5 is a bit ambitious as most people await the fourth installment), so that people can start getting in early submissions and hopefully they can be implemented pretty much straight away. okay, I know it's not a priority and could delay releases (which I wouldn't say no too)... but it was just a thought!

Guys, I'd seriously consider just playing the campaign now. It may be months until the big roles can finish recording, and who knows whether your lives will still be permissive?

Your faceballs are not prepared, its quality transcends the need for voice acting

I'm actually kind of worried that a voiced version might mess with the incredibly clear, years-old mental images I've developed of WiH's cast of characters :shaking:

Oh yes, they will. The previews absolutely murdered my mental image of Byrne and Steele, for example. (The first in a "ungood" way...)

And here I was originally planning to record Calder's big get-angry speech in a super-nasally Scottish brogue.

I should go back and re-record some of the more serious lines in funny voices, just for the hell of it.

Eep, yeah, well, I know. I'm not really complaining. Just a weird side-effect. Did not mean to seem ungrateful or whatever.

By the way, speaking of hilarious bloopers, Hades made this piece of comedy gold, which literally made me fall out of my chair I was laughing so hard.

I am on the one hand, glad you got the VA's again and that they are still awesome. On the other... that convo feels so false. When The Elder is supposed to be cut off, it doesn't sound like that at all, it's just line reading. And Bei talks too slow...

None of this sounds like too much of a problem to edit though, it'd just take time.

Sorry for being a buzzkill. :(

As usual, your perspective on voice acting is frustratingly wrongheaded. We are damn lucky to get coverage at all from unpaid actors whose careers have advanced by years since last time we worked with them. Adding in live direction, repeated takes, sophisticated editing, and all the associated overhead this entails would move this from 'nice bonus coverage on a bit of extra content' to 'never going to happen'.

Which is a valid piece of feedback, of course. We could move to a model in which we only shipped content when we felt it had been pushed to a very high quality bar. We would never release any more content, of course, but if you'd prefer that to the current model...?

Any criticism that hits you about voice acting has probably already occurred to us internally. We have triaged it and addressed it as best as we can with available time and resources.

The best thing you can do to save face and contribute meaningfully would be to open Audacity and make a better edit of the line. It would be easy and I would be genuinely grateful, because we don't have any goddamn time. Post it here and I'll upload it to FTP.

The post has even been updated with a link to the audio, same as with the earlier Steele/Lopez conversation.
