Obsidian raised a million dollars in a day on Kickstarter

You have no choice in being poor mono?  I think I agree with that.

Well, I have to say I agree, but somehow I think this is an example of One Dialogue, Two Conversations. 

[Jaron]

This game is trash.

[Syt]

I wish they fucking hadn't given how often it happens. Maybe even better to just have the voice acting off.

Yeah I switched it off entirely, because it was rather weird and annoying.

I play with voices off, I find them a bit distracting anyway. Same with music; it's nice music, but the same cues repeat over and over.

It's a relatively low budget game at the end of the day.

I don't really understand why during the course of a conversation a character will have only certain lines with voice acting.

Because voice acting is really expensive and limits the amount of dialog a game can have?

Not a big fan of full voice acting. It limits the amount of game content for nothing but a cosmetic advantage. Limited like this is just fine, once you hear the character's voice a few times you know what they sound like.

Well it is a good thing that I didn't say everything needed to be full voice acted. What's annoying me is the let's say Farmer Brown has 8 screens of dialog in one conversation/interaction. Of those, it'll be like first 3 screens voiced, next 4 unvoiced and last one voiced. A bit jarring to be jumping back and forth in the same conversation.

The problem with voice acting in this game is that the dialogues are too long.  It feels ok in Skyrim because they speak far fewer words.

Ah my apologies. This is a common criticism so I might have filled in the gaps there.

Sometimes it makes sense, like when they have a line that is in there because you are form a certain place or otherwise just for your character. Maybe they were additions made after the recording was made?

[celedhring]

Or they just couldn't afford to record all of those little variations with their budget. Still, it's true that sometimes they mix voiced and unvoiced fragments in a slightly jarring way. I presume that for whatever reason they rewrote parts of dialog after recording it.

So far I think the game is free of major or annoying bugs.  I bought it on the first day of release, and fully expected the game to crash once every few hours.  Nothing of that sort has happened.

Aye, the spawn of Obsidian and Paradox could have been a terrible thing, but this is pretty bug-free out of the box.

I have only experienced a couple of minor bugs so far (animations getting stuck very uncommonly, and some icon display issues).

[garbon]

I've had a few moments where characters stutter when trying to move but yeah nothing major.

[Legbiter]

Just got the stronghold.

[Razgovory]

I just got chased by wind into a cave with a two people from a caravan.  I have a getting into these games.

[celedhring]

Finally completed all the quests in the first major city (Defiance Bay), and I'm 30 hours into the game with plenty of unvisited locations on my map. This game is big.

I'm the kind of player that reads and searches every nook and cranny in RPGs though, not the fastest player around.
