Al that work to be realistic, and then these ridiculous one-linere like "I thought you'd never ask" and "you boys'll get a kick out of this". You'd think with all the money they're spending on visuals they could afford a screenwriter or two.


I'm not sure why they don't just hire voice actors and ask them to naturally respond to the situation while watching the video, with a set of target phrases.

"Say something to the effect of this, when this thing happens on screen, but phrase it however you like."

Visually stunning, but no matter how realistic it is, you're killing the chance of enjoying it because you go "Nobody would say that", and it also doesn't sound natural.

This is why I enjoyed the Fallout games so much. Even the earlier ones like 3 and New Vegas that weren't realistic looking had fantastic, believable dialogue.


There is a lack of intonation which would suggest that it's recorded independently without live context = stilted sounding lines


This is a tech demo. They aren't getting A-list writers or voice actors to spend their time on it.


Yeah. I thought the "you boys'll get a kick out of this" was a miss for any woman or trans gamer.


It was directed at the all-male agents, no?


I interpreted that line as directed towards the Agents, who are all men.
