Given this era of big budget blockbusters, motion capture and lavish cutscenes, its unusual that a voiced player-character can cause such a stir. The concern with Fallout is that your conversation with the wastelands denizens will be limited. We had the same worry as everyone else, admits Howard.
A lot of games have voiced characters, but what they dont want to give up is all the dialogue options. So for us a lot of it was logistical. The voice actors have been recording for 2 years, theyve each done over 13,000 lines of dialogue. So to be able to do that makes the difference; you still have choice.
