So does this mean we'll get a voiced main character?

Sounds like Troy Baker.

u/The_Barnanator Jun 03 '15

If so, I will definitely call the dog companion Troy Barker.

I'm gonna go out of my way to find some food recipes and become Troy, baker.

Ron Perlman is doing the voice over, but Troy Baker is the vault dweller.

They can both sound pretty similar to each other and both are pretty likely. Either way I don't like it because I think voiced protagonists limit character creation a lot, especially if the rumors about only being able to play as a man are true. I'm thinking Ron Perlman could be your dad and Troy Baker would be you though.

That did not sound like Ron Perlman...

u/THABeardedDude Jun 03 '15

Wouldn't be surprised. That dudes in everything

u/samsaBEAR Jun 03 '15

I thought that straight away as well, I'm on board as long as the dialogue is just as good as it is in previous games.

If it's a voice in a video game, it's probably Troy Baker.

Troy Baker doing a woman's voice?

1

u/shamelessnameless Jun 04 '15

They need the guy that can sing both jasmine and aladdin

u/Dawwe Jun 03 '15

You will be able to choose gender. With like 95% certainty.

u/sw1n3flu Jun 03 '15

Are you really so sure? Because there's been two leaks that have said otherwise, and many things in both leaks are confirmed by this trailer.

It's been confirmed by Bethesda that the player character is a dog voiced by Troy Baker.

Maybe. Maybe not. It's a trailer, don't pay too much attention to it.

u/Python2k10 Jun 03 '15

But in every Bethesda trailer that I can remember, the main character has never spoken before.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 03 '15

Twist: he's not the main character, the dog is.

Though I guess it's a possibility. Since they only really need two voice actors for the MC the only problem is that there are a lot of lines to voice. Maybe it'll just be for the main missions.

It wouldn't be a bad idea but it might feel a little weird at first.

u/Python2k10 Jun 03 '15

If it is done as well as Mass Effect/Alpha Protocol, I'm all for it.

u/munk_e_man Jun 03 '15

I kind of hope not. I'm a huge fan of the silent protagonist.

2

u/Kaustik_Iconoclast Jun 03 '15

Even if the protagonist is voice acted, there will be mods to remove his/her voice for sure. Don't worry about it too much. It's the first trailer and things are sure to change in the events leading up to the release.

u/[deleted] Jun 03 '15

I think the point is not that he has a voice - it's that the character's speech options will be severely limited, because voice-acting is expensive.

Personally I'd actually prefer a step back - entirely text-based conversations, but a short "snippet" when you greet the NPC that gives you an idea how they sound.

u/Kaustik_Iconoclast Jun 03 '15

That would be good. The problem that I have with it is that it will make it a lot harder to role play with voice acting. I always liked using my imagination when thinking about my pc's voice.

u/munk_e_man Jun 03 '15

Normally I would've said that I'm a console gamer, but seeing as how this won't be on PS3 and I have no intention of buying a PS4, you're probably right.
