    What an incredibly godawful, dumbass idea.

    Look, I’m going to skip over issues of voice actors, quality, etc, and go directly to:

    Your voice doesn’t sound to you like it sounds to other people. Almost everyone hates playback of their voice. This is a great way to get people to haaaaaate playing your game.

      Who says I have to use my own voice? I’m going to splice together clips of PeeWee Herman.

      In theory, the idea is okay. I wouldn’t mind an avatar having my own voice.

      In practice, fuck no. It’s EA. I don’t want my voice to live on producing new dialogue long after I’m dead in order to fill some corporation’s pockets.

      Idk, my kids love it, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a lot more common than not.

      I personally hate it, but then again I would also hate an avatar of myself as well in a game. I prefer to RP as someone else in games, not as myself (I like myself, I just don’t like to be myself in games).

      I’m sure they could change the synthetic voice so that it sounds like your perception of your own voice

        Interesting idea, but I doubt that the modulation is the same for everyone, just cause our heads aren’t identical in shape or size. I suspect that my head distorts my voice differently than most other people’s heads.

      I don’t particularly hate my voice when played back.

      I just don’t recognize it as my own voice at all.
