Thank you for your time, Fin, really. It's nice to have all the missing commands for both male and female and we won't have to hear the same dying sounds we've listened to since 2009 and some of the sounds even since MB. The game suddenly drives me less insane, in this respect.
Some honest criticism of your sound pack, though.
Despite a lot better after adjusting I still think I preferred that v1 male voices with the arbitrary British accent, which both fitted the Medieval theme better aswell as the cRPG atmosphere of semi-sillyness.
But the v2 sound more stringent and orderly now, as the male and female voices fit each other pretty well.
But as someone wrote it seems as if you had less fun this time around, perhaps due to some of the reception V1 got, and despite you trying to make it 'more serious' this time I think it affects the soul of the recordings, adversely.
Two things irks me the most as I play. The whistling is very weak, could really use some more power or effort (original one was really good, imo) as it feels unfulfilling when you do it, and I feel the same about the warcries. The QQVs really need aforementioned soul, and though I know it was suggested here I don't like the 'fuck you' and 'go to hell' much, the acting or recording lacks conviction, like trying to make a line with a normal voice sound like a shout, and really I don't think those are very funny nor very 'Medieval' things to yell, and it breaks the immersion without even adding to the charm or humour of the mod.
I've always found that Shakespearian English (thy, thine, thou, hath, hast etc.) goes well with Medieval themed games that don' take themselves too seriously. I would suggest this for Melee aswell, just look at the hilarious Bayeux Tapestry cRPG comics.
I know from shared voice spamming in-game that you're a funny guy with my kind of humour, I'm sure you could make some great warcries that would lighten us all up, for example drawing inspiration from Shakespearian slurs, like here on the
Shakespearan Insulter Generator .
Thou mewling spur-galled vassal!
Thou fobbing fen-sucked malcontent!
Thou unmuzzled beetle-headed bladder!
Thou burly-boned beef-witted scut!
Thou roguish full-gorged malt-worm!
etc.
But seriously, Fin, it surprised me that you of all people removed the old female 'hello' and 'shut up', any chance only these two iconic voice commands could enter the mod again? They made me laugh at every game session, even my gf in the background laughed at them, and I honestly laugh a lot less now, in fact the new QQV's makes me slighty mad.
