The most useless thread

Littiz · Post by **Littiz** » Sun Mar 03, 2002 3:45 am

Surely this won't be the most important thread ever, but, still...
I'm just TOO curious!
Let me explain: in order to play Ascension (don't worry, it's SoA related)
I've had to overwrite the dialog files (italian version), for
male and female PCs. So now I play with ALL english texts.
But the voices remain dubbed, of course!
So I hear the familiar lines, while I read the subtitles in english.
(Immie says: "C'è qualcosa in ballo?" and I read: "Something up?", and so on..)
So now I'm very curious... the PC has no subtitles!
I'd want to know the original lines!!
One in particular, the third female voice, in the italian version
is maybe the most beautyful female voice I've ever heard in my life
(yes Aubrey, even BETTER than Immie's!!!!

)
I love it!!!!! What a wonderful voice!!!
I always combine it with the portrait of the blonde elven girl dressed
in green clothes, you know.

So please, let me know, what the original voice sounds like?
And what are the original texts?
I'll try an awkward translation...
Does she say things like:

"Yes?" -selected

"Just show me the right path!" -selected

"HEY! Now that I lead, we'll surely have fun!" -Elected

"For sure" -ordered

"It'll be done in a moment!" -ordered

"You're not so strong, after all!!" - attack

"You won't fear a little girl like me, right?" -attack

"OH! A skillful blow!" -critical hit

"Oh. Let's try again." -critical miss

"It's pointless. My weapon has no effect!" - weapon ineffective

"I'm sure there's... something else we can do" -bothered

"Yahwnn! I'd like, indeed, to rest for a few minutes" -sleepy

*Childish laughs* -successfull pickpocket

"No one can see me, now!" -hide in shadows

"Oh!" - hurt

"Daaamn... I've lost my spell....." - hurt while casting

(the cutest of all

)
"I.. w-wouldn't want to.. l-lower anyone's morale but...
I really need some help...." - Badly wounded

..................

Am I close??
Any feedback appreciated, you should know them well!

(Don't tell me. I'm lost beyond hope.

)

It sounds right, but you should ask someone like Sabre to be sure.

That is my favourite one, absoloute!!!I also like the one from IWD "Looks like I'm going to have to go on a killing spree"

Yep, I keep the half-elven girl since BG1 (which I have in the original language), and I used for her the voice set with the strange accent
(Remember? "No ozher zhan me could be in zhis place!")
ehehe

But now I have this beautyful voice, I pity all of you who cannot
hear it!!!!

hmmmm, anyway, I can live without it, but...
nobody uses the this voice set?
Come on, just tell me the original lines!!!

l love this voice as well, i have it coupled with Aerie's portrait, and straying slightly from the topic....but ,my PC has Aeries portrait and is also a lawful good cleric mage....coincedence or what!

You have a position to defend, right Sabre?

Thanx a lot, you're inimitable!!!!!!!!!

So, Invincible, even the original voice is sweet?
This game would not be the same without voices!!!

Craig · Post by **Craig** » Mon Mar 04, 2002 2:50 pm

I use them whenever i can but, at one time i for got i had speakers

Strange thing is i can't play them as winamp, windows media or .wav but the BG1 work fine

I dont know where else to forward this question, so what the hay. My PC is using the Haer Dalis portrait, and now, HD has got a different one, one of the ones you can select for your PC, the theif with the scar and dagger and evil grin. Can anyone tell me why?

I can just see Sabre rattling off that whole thing in a minute from the top of his head,

The game won't let two identical portraits be used. If you hijack one of the npc portraits for your own pc, a 'similar' one is used to replace the one you've swiped. I used the one for Nalia once and when I met up with her, she had the portrait for Dynaheir.

Same for me, but the different portrait thing is only in SoA. Continue into ToB, and the NPC will have the same portrait (if you're using a character's). I used Nalia's, and Nalia had Dynahir. But with ToB, Nalia's changed back to her original.

Kinda wierd. Reminded me of that kid in Spellhold.

Invincible121 · Post by **Invincible121** » Tue Mar 05, 2002 10:02 am

Are you sure about the same portrait not being allowed?
Because as i said before m pc has Aerie's portrait and so does Aerie, they have had the same one all the way through SoA and ToB with no changes.
Have i got a bug or am i just not understanding?

Littiz · Post by **Littiz** » Tue Mar 05, 2002 11:57 am

I could have expected a digression about voices....

Strange ways of this forum!

Anyway, never liked that solution for the portraits.
In both the BG games, simply there are not enough portraits.
They do not even cover all the possible choices of races!!!!!!!!
Try to take a female half-orc............
(why on earth should you want such a thing, eheheh!)

On the other hand, I have to say that I use almost always the same two...
The (half-)elven green girl, even for a human (1% elf, just to be able to dual

), or the paladin's picture (Nippy's portrait IIRC)

The sound files are a compressed version of WAV, you need to convert them to normal WAV files before you can play it - the game have it's own converter.

I never use that sound set before - I used Near Infinity, along with the converter to play the sounds and then write down what I hear.

Not sure... maybe its only some of the portraits that can't be duplicated. As I've never wanted to use Aerie's picture

Invincible121 · Post by **Invincible121** » Wed Mar 06, 2002 11:42 am

well it was confusing at the start of the game but now i can tell them apart.......my pc's portrait is nearly 1/2 full of equiped abilitys and i always keep her in the same place...3rd one down
