ahem! (cough cough)

[Fidcal]

Maybe it's just me but there is one of the coughs that sounds more and more like Aunt Selma every time I hear it. Know the one I mean?

[aidakeeley]

 

No. But the post gave me a laugh. And I'm sure next time I'm playing I'll probably hear it and be struck laughing harder.

 

(...All of which is good because I've just watched a new BBC show which was one of those that seemed to be almost funny, seemed to have a promising cast {with the exception of one "comic actor"who never fails to signal that we're in for dreck}, seemed to start off, at least, well... but became underwhelming and ended up as... dreck, indeed.)

 

Aunt Selma.

[Fidcal]

Funny yeah but breaks the immersion when you're lockpicking...

 

Sideshow Bob: Selma, would you mind if I did something bold and shocking in front of your family?

Selma: <cough, cough> All right, but no tongues.

Sideshow Bob: Although kissing you would be like kissing some divine ashtray, that's not what I had in mind. Selma, will you marry me?

Bart: Don't be a fool, Aunt Selma. That man is scum.

Selma: Then call me Mrs. Scum. <cough, cough>

There is one that sounds like someone recorded it while coughing into a tin can or something really strange if that's what you mean. Yeah, its really out of place.

Which vocal set are we talking about?

Which vocal set are we talking about?

 

I mentioned before how one of the guards' sneezes sounds like it was quite 'tinny', don't know the actual vocal but I heard it again yesterday while playing 'Special Delivery'. I think the guard who patrols around the metal walkway had a case of it. Haven't heard a cough sound like this though, but now I'm gonna pay extra attention so I can hear that sexy raspy Selma cough. Mmmm.

 

Edit: If I'm correct about this particular guard, his vocal set is _simpleton_guard_01. Will try confirm this is the actual guard I heard.

There is only one sneeze shader...I'll happily replace that 'tinny' sneeze if someone would like to record some.

[Fidcal]

Well, just been through the likely oggs but I can't find it. Yet I hear it regularly in my FM in the streets and there are only city watch. I'll try again tomorrow.

[aidakeeley]

You could say all 4 of those in "sound\voices\player" sound a bit Aunt "(ahem) cough" Selma-ish.

[Fidcal]

Yes, that's true - but not distractingly so. I think it's probably the same actor. I just typed 'cough' in the Windows search through all the oggs and listened to them all but none sound like the one I am hearing so maybe it does not have the word 'cough' in the name. I'll have to listen in-game and search for the actual guard and then look what voice he is using. I'm hearing it when I'm busy testing something else so this is just a distraction I've not had time to pursue.

I know this is a little off topic, but since we're on the topic of funny things that guards say or do, I laughed so hard when I heard this

 

"HORS DERT! ALL WERKED UP FOR NUTHING " ..... why does he say horse dirt? shouldn't he have a filthy mouth because he's a common thug? what was wrong with 'horse shit'?

The original line was "horse shit" actually, but the actor thought "shit" sounded anachronistic and came up with various substitutes for that line and others. Some of them work, but that one always sounded a bit ridiculous to me.

[Mr Lemony Fresh]

I guess it does :/ I'd argue that so is the technology, but i guess it'd be kinda weird trying to justify the language by calling it steam punk

 

maybe "(sigh of relief) - all worked up for nothing" would be more fitting, or "(sigh of disappointment) - all worked up for nothing" since It's unlikely that you'd be that angry anyway, especially if everything was quiet again, they are probably more likely to relax and or sigh because of the lack of tension.

 

Anyway, whether or not you'd agree with that or not probably does matter since it hardly seems worthwhile getting everything out just to do one sentence.
