Trailers and Teasers – Herran

Kris Takahashi Other 1 Comment

This is Isaac Silbernberg aka MagnusDux voicing the character Herran. This is part of a quest that I previously scrapped for scripting/mechanical reasons – I just couldn’t make certain ideas happen – but I decided the characters were enjoyable enough that it was better to simplify the quest so you could meet them.

The acting in the last line really captures the essence of this character, as Herran shifts back and forth between melodramatic and avaricious. The one regret I have is that I couldn’t make him fatter, because everyone in the game is sculpted like a Greek God. However, much like my abridged quest, I’m sure there’s a reason for that too.

Here’s a new feature that a few NPCs will have in the future. It has a 25% chance of firing so it ideally won’t happen every time you visit an inn, but I may lower the percentage if it’s too frequent. After the idle fires, the NPCs will randomly select from about 10 or more responses, some conditioned by the time of day. For instance, Alassea won’t order an ale in the morning, but Skjarn won’t care.

Who gets it mostly depends on the availability of the actor. That and more unique combat dialogue is the current priority, as well as getting rid of the current placeholder audio for NPCs like Yushari.
