Happy Belated Birthday, Interesting NPCs

February 9, 2015February 9, 2015 Kris Takahashi News 4 Comments

I forgot February 8, 2012, is the day the mod was uploaded to Nexus. Although technically it was on Steam a few days prior until I discovered unvoiced lines skipped. I don’t remember the details, I’m senile. Anyways the point is we are three years old now and eating solid foods. I think. To be honest I have no idea how toddlers work. I’ve probably given the mod dysentery.

On to the news:

1ndaJone5 has informed me the Russian translation project for the mod is finito. Finito is not a Russian word, but vodka is. I recommend we drink it to celebrate.
DragbodyNV and Nonoodles have teamed up to make Riddick a companion in Fallout: New Vegas. He looks incredibly lifelike and the audio fits really, really well. I can’t imagine what it’s like for the rest of us potato NPCs to stare at this sculpted perfection.
I’ve figured out how to fix my racist GECK by flagging the ESPs as ESMs in Wrye Bash. This also fixes some navmesh issues. This is probably exciting news only to me. I was beginning to wonder if all my black NPCs would have to have vitiligo written into their backstories.

Another update for Hope and Vincent may be coming soon. Hope in particular has a quest that is near completion, in particular I need someone with a Mexican accent but doesn’t have to be heavy. Check the Casting Call section for details.

Dawngate, Fallout and Graphic Content

This is probably old news to many, but Elisabeth Hunter (Meresine, Falatild, Caylene) has voiced another Dawngate character for EA, Sakari.

According to the official website, every decade Sakari’s tribe puts their most beloved youth adrift on an ice floe, offered as a spouse to the Spirits of the north for good weather and fine hunting. Wow. That’s some fucked up shit. Hopefully Elisabeth was the ice floe-tee and not the ice floe-ter.

In any case, pretty cool to hear her voice attached to a pro project. In other news:

Nona has written a Rumarin fanfic which promises some fun and graphic content. She assures me these are not the kind of graphics you’ll find in video games or comic books, but rather, plain old smut. Good. I like smut.
I’ve been told Skywind still needs female voice actors, so if you don’t like any of the roles on this site, remember to go there and audition. Our old friend Jessica Osborne is helping out with the casting, so she’ll have more information shortly.
Speaking of rumors, I’ve heard the greatest Megaton mod ever will be coming out in a couple months.

Lastly, I’m putting together some short little vignettes for both Fallout 3 and New Vegas to pass the time while I decompose. A couple background NPCs in Goodsprings, and maybe a short quest for Fallout 3. More to come as I figure out how to GECK.

Voiceover, Approval Systems, and Questions

For those who are interested in voice work, I put up some more Fallout roles, one for New Vegas as well – depending on whether it’s even possible to do background scenes like that with GECK. If you don’t like any of the current roles you can subscribe to the page and get notifications when changes are made.

You can also send me a demo reel to show off your range and previous work. Minimum requirement for any role is using a USB Condenser mic. Environment issues can be worked around, but a bad mic won’t cut it.

A blogger on Nexus asked me to do an interview. I talk about the time I joined the Texas Rangers, swam the English Channel backwards and other lies designed to make you click this link.
Noah Lange is creating an approval system called Companion Influence Framework for Skyrim, you can check out the website here.
Lastly, here’s some Zora fanfiction by pinkypiearmageddon.

Enjoy the weekend, er, what’s left of it anyway.
