No quotes Mariachi Q?

ThurthoradThurthorad ✭✭✭✭✭
Heya DB,

The new Mariachi Q is a fun character. He's nothing to write home about statswise, but that's fine. However, can we get some voice work on him? Like Will Scarlett, the quotes make the difference!

(And while we're talking about sound on new characters, Thot Gor seems like another opportunity missed)

    What does Thot For say? Or what should he say?

    Florist Q is the one that definitely needs a voice over.

    As for Thot, that electronic noise they make that everyone seems to understand yet isn't translated or subtitled. That would be cool.

  • They miss a lot by having 98% of their characters not have comments or quotes. it would add a lot of depth and richness to the game.

    Voice overs cost money, or at they might be least licencing issues to overcome and royalties to the artist/actor. Any mug can draw (badly in the case of Mirror Data)!

    It comes with the licence in the pre release trailer they talked about the endless hours of sound bytes they could use

    Do they? DB never mentioned having to pay for them, and they have already acquired the rights to the likeness and all of that.

    As far as I know the only thing that stands in the way is the fact that they have to obtain the quotes from CBS directly from the original audio tapes (before the sound effects and the music were added in), which was described as a very time-consuming task. With a backlog of hundreds of characters who are missing quotes, I guess that DB as this point has just given up on the idea.

    Given the size of the app and the resource drain it already is on my phone, I can live without more quotes.
  • There are a LOT of characters that need quotes added.

    Just off the top of my head I REALLY want: Professor Scott - "Hello Computer!"

    Frankly, I don't think too too many people play with the sound on. Yeah some do, but after the billionth time hearing the same strain from the TNG/TOS Movie theme to end a mission, I, and others I've discussed this with turn the sound off. Maybe its time for a poll.

    I'll trade the sound clips from Janeway for Q.

    ... or for anyone else.

    So many good ones from just that scene.
    "Au contraire, Mon Capitaine. HEEEEE'S BAAAAAACK!"
    "I'm immortal again! Omnipotent again!"
    "Don't fret Riker, my good fortune is your good fortune."
    "But, I feel like celebrating!"

    I love all these - and I also wish they'd make Human Q drop a "very clever mr worf, eat any good books lately?"

    Yes! Please swap for the "...no bloody A, B, C, or D."

    I'm begging here.

    Isn't "eat any good books lately" already in use? I'd swear I've heard it during ship battles.

    You could be right, I rarely play arena and don't think I've ever had Q on a ship. Maybe now I have a reason to...

    That'd be Captain Scott, for the TNG episode. Professor Scott is from The Voyage Home (a.k.a. The One With The Whales)

    It's true, the voice overs wouldnt be an instant paycheck. It would only serve to enrich a game that people play out of love for star trek and nostalgia rather than ooh shiny of the next piece of gear.

    It wouldnt be overly costly or consuming. And no they wouldnt have to come from original tapes from 80 years ago. I'm sure cbs would want them to, so they could charge more to let someone else touch their precious cash cow.

    All the Scotts say it, though.

    Some voices would be great. Others are annoying (Wesley and Janeway, for example).

    Ones who play with game sound on probable do so in feeble attempt to suppress voices in their heads

    Mariachi Q should just play a bit of the song... it's probably in the public domain
  • If I remember correctly, merry worf didn't have his iconic quote at first either and DB added it later. There is still hope.
