Mike Pondsmith as a voice actor in the game?

[spookyxelectric]

Sorry for reviving an old thread, but did you guys see the poll on the R. Talsorian Games blog? I'm guessing no, since there's only 21 votes cast.

Poll opened ...

People can answer both yes and no now, as the choices are checkboxes. Not sure if intended.

Obviously not intended but I can't edit it...I'm guessing it's going to be a unanimous YES anyway so it should not be a problem.

Oh yes, no doubt. Just thought I'd mention it, for example if one of the mods can fix it and change it into a radio button selection (only one choice.)

 

[Edo34]

If they can,no problem.

I love how the poll is on 14 against 0. CDPR. Make it happen.

 

[Demut]

Yeah, I like how no one voted against this idea ^-^

I think it should be a cameo of sorts, not a major role such as a narrator or radio announcer. He may have a cool voice but he's not a professional voice actor.

The difficulty of professional voice acting is overrated. The voice itself is the most important factor, more so than technique anyway. Besides, we’ve got years until release. I am sure that Mike could easily internalize the basics of it by then and reach an adequate level of competency in this regard.

I said it in an earlier thread, but I'd like William Gibson as a bit voice role as well. He's a pioneer of the genre--at least a shout-out would be nice.

Respect.

 

[jiminyshrewster]

Yes, for a narrator. Intro/Outro of chapters.

In last interview senior quest designer Łukasz Szczepankowski said it is development team wish to give MIke Pondsmith a cameo in game, so its likely that it will happen

Someone voted no.... curious if whoever it was has a reason for that, or if they were just being a tosser.

I'm guessing the latter..I can't say I didn't expect it to happen though,but whoever it was I'm sure we can find a way to hunt him/her down.

My bet is that whoever voted no either misclicked or doesn't even know who Mike Pondsmith is in the first place.

I'm figuring the person is trying to be the loner, the one who bucks the system, the punk...

Someone get a rope...

WHO PICKED NO?

Moderators must know. GIVE HIM TO US. GIVE HIM TO USSSSSSSSSSSSSS.....

 

[wisdom000]

Hangin's too good fer him, BURNIN'S TOO GOOD FER HIM......

 

[Edo34]

I agree...his punishment must be more severe.
