Voice dialog durring choice conversations

[Stedmister]

As I playing through Wintermute, it seems strange not to have voice dialog for the initial conversations, and only have it in cut scenes, seems to be somewhat of a disconnect. I get there's text to read, but it seem more immersive if the characters actually spoke.

Under "News & Updates" under the "Dev. Diary" he describes their decision in doing so. Hope that helps.  :-)

It would be too much work to animate all of that and voice it in sync.

I'm not saying animate, I'm saying just add voice dialog, other games have done this

So just voices without animation? Yeah I could see this. Or a very crude mouth movement animation. That's all.

Someone said something about this, I forget who. They described that this would look something like they were communicating through telepathy, which would look extremely strange given they'd just been talking normally. And I can't really disagree with that lol.

Yeah true, but it doesn't have to be a cutscene. You could do simple mouth movements like they are in the 2D animated cutscenes. Very crude, but still something.

That would be weird though, just voice without any mouth movements? It would be like mind-to-mind communication or something. At least it would seem like that.
