I first played this mod near the end of 2010.  I was a senior in high school.  At that point only act two was released.

I am a junior in college now and now act 3 has only just been released.

Why do I get the feeling that by the time this mod is completed, Half-Life 3 will be out, I will be about two years out of college, and this mod still won't be fully voiced yet?

Because thats exactly whats going to happen.

Because BP Team is working for BP4 to outmatch Star Citizen!!!

Ask Hodor it seems he is part of the team

I imagine though that BP will be finished before BWO or TVWP though.

I imagine though that BP will be finished before BWO or TVWP though.

I sure hope so. I seriously doubt we're EVER going to see TVWP. BWO remains to be seen. WiH R3 is probably the one with the most hope.

I hope work will  increase soon again so the last two Acts won't be too far off as BP is such a very interesting mod series.
I'm certain every effort is being made and alternatives such as other modders being asked to join or for the VA, approaching voice actor communities in various ways.

I've seen some people including interesting Let's Players on YT waiting for the VA version of WiH before playing and LPing, which definitely feels like it limits the kind of reach that can be had. It makes me curious if finding VA for other mods for FS2 will meet the same kind of difficulties, if so I think we'll need to get used to having only text..which to me personally is quite sufficient, but apparently not the case for some.

I thought it was the other way around?  I.e., BWO is the defacto dead one and TVWP remains a possibility?

The first time you run through the game the text-only can get EXTREMELY annoying because the game was designed with voices in mind.  The gameplay itself requires 100% attention, and sometimes taking your eyes off of the action to read can get you killed.  This might have been avoided if all of the lines were done outside of combat, but a lot of lines go off during intense dogfights when you have 5 missiles locked onto you.

Its not as big of a deal in later run throughs as you already know most of the lines and what you have to do, but for first timers it can contribute to the difficulty of the game.

Personally, now that I'm used to it I don't mind it but when I first played the mod it was very annoying.  I'm more concerned about the campaign getting finished first than getting VAs.  I completely understand that the modders have other, more important things to do than to finish this quickly.

And what about FreeSpace: Reunited, which I'm developing right now? (FS:R will incorporate references from AOA, but will relate to things that happen in Acts 4 and 5 of WIH and the third and final chapter of the Blue Planet trilogy)

And what about FreeSpace: Reunited, which I'm developing right now?

What about it? It has no place amongst a couple of long-running big projects. Don't get me wrong, it may be the greatest thing ever, but why should we list it amongst long-expected projects such as BWO and TWVP (and BP, for that matter), when we do not know you, your storytelling, your fredding abilities, nothing that would give us any sort of expectations towards your release?

[SF-Junky]

As for BWO and TVWP: General saga is that BWO has been finished years ago and is de facto ready for release, but they've just been waiting for HTL models to be done. So if HTLing is done, they can release instantly. TVWP is, as far as I am informed, a more or less dead project. There seem to be a few people working to get the first chapter (Unification War) updated recently. But overall, I can't see any serious efforts to produce the final chapters.

I've never designed a campaign before, how long does HTLing generally take?

[The E]

Htling is not a campaign design step. It's a modelling thing, and if you do not have modelers willing and able to actually work on stuff, then it can and will take forever.

[OtakuMage]

Just finished Act 3 for the first time. So nice to see a plot that surpasses what people get paid to make. And while I'm anxious for Act 4, I'll be a good little fanboy and wait. Keep up the good work.

Especialy when team wants their assets to be the same or even better quality as recent MediaVPs models, which is almost impossible. They are only a few modelers/texture artists who are able to make stuff that good.

Despite that, as the BWO is fred-ready from many years, I'm sure their missions are not in standard of today. Even if they manage to finish all the models that BWO has, freding might take another monts [years? ] of waiting.
