The upcoming Fallout 4 will include extensive dialogue, boasting more lines than its Fallout 3 and Skyrim combined.
Bethesda Game Studios announced that voice recording for Fallout 4 is now complete with more than 111,000 lines, which is more than it recorded for its previous two games pulled together.
Truth be told, back in 2008 when Fallout 3 made its debut, and even in 2011 when Skyrim launched, Bethesda had to take into account some storage restrictions. Now, however, with Xbox One and PlayStation 4 games headed to Blu-ray discs, Bethesda can afford to make its new Fallout game even chattier than previous iterations without worrying too much that it will exceed space limitations. It still remains unclear just how much storage Fallout 4 will take up, but it will surely not face the same storage limitations as older titles.
With more room to move and a vision to make the game more complex, Bethesda went all out when it comes to the voice recordings for its upcoming game. Not too long ago, Fallout 4 director Todd Howard explained that dialogue allows for a better story, which is why both the male and the female playable characters in Fallout 4 are fully voiced. Brian Delaney and Courtenay Taylor served as voice actors for the characters, each recording more than 13,000 lines so that both the male and female characters could speak for themselves.
"We know what this game means to everyone," Howard touted back in June. "The time and technology have allowed us to be more ambitious than ever. We've never been more excited about a game, and we can't wait to share it."
At the same time, news that Bethesda has wrapped up impressive recordings for Fallout 4 also comes with a confirmation that may be disappointing to some. The voice actor for Three Dog from Fallout 3 was not included in Fallout 4 recordings.
As for the game itself, the highly-anticipated Fallout 4 is set to make its commercial debut on Nov. 10, 2015, hitting the PlayStation 4 (PS4) and Xbox One gaming consoles, as well as the PC. In the meantime, check out the Fallout 4 Official Trailer below.
