However, by mixing and mashing these audio files, the Skyrim modding community has been able to massively expand the number of things the player character can ask NPCs and the responses they are able to give. Individuals like Sven also have lines which are specific to their characters and the quests the Dragonborn can activate speaking to them which are not available to other NPCs with the same voice. The limited number of voice actors in Skyrim gave the modding community huge flexibility when it came to expanding the amount of lines available in the game, not only for the NPCs, but for the players themselves.įor example, the voice used for Sven in Riverwood is also used for many of the male bards across Skyrim as well as other characters in the world. However, there is one huge advantage to having such a limited number of voice actors and having recorded the lines primarily by personality type rather than by character for the vast majority of Skyrim’s NPCs. Having over 70 actors doing voice work is unfortunately going to mean that a lot of voices are going to sound similar, if not the same, to many people.Skyrim, like Oblivion before it, has a relatively limited amount of voice actors for how many NPCs are in the game. Many of the lines were categorized by tone and personality, but as a result players who put more and more hours into Skyrim generally begin to see more and more repetition, which can make the game less immersive the more they play. Did you actually look at the list I linked to? There are even actors listed that are not in the game credits. Where the hell are these 70's? Hell I'd prefer hearing some amature voice acting than hearing these town folks with similar voices. If using over 70 voice actors [is not enough then you don't really have a good solid understanding of the economics and logistics of what is required to do a game these days.

The more actors hired means more studio time spent getting well acted dialogue. More than one is a big name actor so get a large paycheck for doing voice acting.Īnother reason is with using only a few actors means less time getting acceptable voice tracks for the game. Originalmente postado por FurryGuyJeans:One reason why so few actors are used to do multitudes of characters is because the people hired are ACTORS.
