LBY will not have any character voices. Just SFX. Sound effects.
Could not post link. NSFW.
I'm still interested in LBY but my initial excitement is dying down. It's like little bits of that excitement are being slowly chipped away. First the revelation about Rod Humble's dislike for occults and supernatural gameplay. The questions about how much of the goofy charm of The Sims is going to be included, and now learning that the characters won't have voices. I need to replace this computer because of a poor choice when I spec'd it regardless of what LBY needs, but those huge minimum specs could have been a factor otherwise.
There hasn't been anything yet that has been a total turn off or a hard no, but I'm glad as a Mac gamer I wasn't granted early access. I would be feeling a lot more apprehensive if I had actually put money down on it. It may still be the best life sim yet, so it will be interesting to see what they have to share in the coming months.
Yeah, I think it's going to be lacking in the humor and charm department, plus I believe the character models are not going to be as good looking as The Sims 4 and whatever Project Rene's sims will look like. I am even warming to Paralives characters. I can't tell if I like LBY characters from what I've seen so far. They look odd, especially their bodies. I need to make my own with their modeler before I know, but I hope what they have now is from a temporary modeler and not the actual one.
However, I am looking for them to create a world that is much more interesting to play in as well as character interactions that are enjoyable, fascinating, and surprising to watch. Also a game that you can tailor to the way you like to play. If they don't deliver that, I don't think it will be a successful as it could be.
