Bully vox
Let me preface by saying that I love each and every member of the dev team, past and present, more than I love my dogs and my mother, and I am literally each of your super best friends forever, with benefits.
I hate the bully voice more than I've hated any art feature of any video game I've ever played. It's so incredibly annoying that I can't imagine that FF hasn't lost players purely for the fact that it's so terrible and that, consciously or unconsciously, they can't stand it. I humbly but forcefully request that the default sentences file be changed back to either female or robot. Hugs and kisses, Joker |

...or at the very least..... switchable.
I actually like the female vox. Kinda sexy, in a "nerdy" kinda way.

There's nothing stopping you replacing the files with what doesn't offend you, simple. |

It's really not the voice, the voice is fine. It's the tones and inflections and stuff. It's just so forceful and obnoxious. It would be great if a forceful, obnoxious voice were called for. But the vox is just supposed to be conveying neutral, passive information to the player. I like the female vox because the gentler tones and inflections make it contrast with all the violence and chaos, so it stands out but it isn't distracting.
Again, my point is larger than just about my own taste. The recordings are fine and Bully's voice is manly and baddass duke-nukem-esqe. If I'm the only one or even in the small minority, then there's zero problem. My concern is that it's unappealing to potential players enough to turn them off before they get into the playing. -Joker |

I think if the vox is enough to dissuade people from playing FF, then is it really that big of a loss?
I can't stand the trader vox in KF (in fact I'd rather eat glass than hear it) but that never stopped me from playing. IMO, I think Bully is fine and if anything would like to see a broader set of phrases down the road. Maybe ones that are less generic and that pertain to different game modes. |

the dream would be to get enough voice actors so that bully isn't the only one doing the voice acting. tbh i don't find him annoying rather thati find it repetitive to hear bully announcer, bully soldier, bully scout, etc... what we really could use is more voice actors. (those are ofc hard to find hence "the dream")
it wouldn't even have to a seperate voice per class and annoucner. it would just need to have a few voice actors so that bullys isn't the only voice you ever hear.

Yeah i think we've been here before with this discussion and the door is always open to submissions. They need to be a high standard though, as well as sound quality.

I agree with Iggy. There needs to be an in-game option to switch between available vox's so you don't have to have to use the current method to switch vox's.
I personlly like Bully's vox the most, though I still use the TFC robot voice sometimes. The TFC voice talks so slow though so that might be a factor. |

I think it's a pretty common opinion among new players that the default vox is somewhat obnoxious. I too prefer the lady voice and recently switched to that.

While I don't mind the Bully voice, I have seen new players not yet exposed to community bandwagon opinions have the "wtf is this voice" reaction. It should at the very least be switchable in fortress options.
