Fable 2 dialogue: 370,000 words recorded

38 hours of dialogue alone and fair to say thats a shed load more than the originals. :lol:

If you're a massive trivia fan and loved the original Fable on Xbox, then all our news stories out together won't please you nearly as much as this one. CVG has received a few facts and figures about the sonic side to Peter Molyneux's Fable II.

The audio, or rather vocal landscape, of the game has been recorded at the London-based firm Side. It's latest newsletter reveals that Side cast over 45 actors (aged from 8 to 80) to play almost 200 speaking characters.

"Four of Side's voice directors ensured that all performances harmonised perfectly with Fable II's idiosyncratic world and captured the complexities of its inhabitants. The voice recording ran concurrently in two studios for over three months, amounting to nearly 370,000 words recorded - that's 38 hours of dialogue."

There's even a quote from Peter Molyneux himself: "The sheer amount of dialogue in Fable 2 meant this was a massive project. Side rose to this challenge in a professional and efficient way. They have done a great job for us".

The dialog alone will keep me busy. I'm really looking forward to that and the new storyline. Thanks for posting that.

Too bad you couldn't submit your own vocals for certain stuff.

Actually a lot of their name calling, comes from fan ideas. Can't wait to see which ones they'll use.

Good thing about DVD's, they allow some good compression of audio. Also with the cutscenes not being prerendered that will save a lot of space as they will load real time. Mass Effect pulled it off quite well, except the pop in loading of the cutscenes however Fable 2 will avoid this with you being able to interact with them.
