2026-05-14T03:24:16  <OpenMW-bridge> <liammellofarley> I know there's that whole Serana revoice mod but I'm honestly shocked modding hasn't been a place people show off really good impressions. Playing me3 with the Miranda companion mod that's mostly chopped together voice files. I know AI can do all that now, that it just makes sense to record the dialogue yourself if you're a good VA but your voice doesn't match and then rcv it, but more in retrospect.
2026-05-14T04:32:05  <OpenMW-bridge> <.gonzo.> @.hemaris speaking of VA impressions did that socucius ergalla dude want to record those lines?
2026-05-14T11:20:09  <OpenMW-bridge> <.hemaris> haven't heard from him since the initial conversation where he said he was interested. i saw that he joined this server though
2026-05-14T12:14:22  <OpenMW-bridge> <elaxter> The Odyssey movie might be good
2026-05-14T12:14:49  <OpenMW-bridge> <elaxter> I'm not looking for historical accuracy because the Odyssey might as well be historical fiction to begin with
2026-05-14T13:13:31  <OpenMW-bridge> <katnjia> Morrowind is also ripe for folks testing out if they like to do VA, so you'd hope there be some community fostering that spirit
2026-05-14T13:13:44  <OpenMW-bridge> <katnjia> rather than cheap "AI" mods
2026-05-14T13:28:04  <OpenMW-bridge> <rrrrrrrrr> I mean its never been represented accurate
2026-05-14T13:29:21  <OpenMW-bridge> <rrrrrrrrr> Everyone gives them spartan style armor but the shit is like set in Mycenaean greece
2026-05-14T13:29:23  <OpenMW-bridge> <rrrrrrrrr> :36vehks:
2026-05-14T13:29:32  <OpenMW-bridge> <rrrrrrrrr> Hundreds of years prior
2026-05-14T13:31:18  <OpenMW-bridge> <elaxter> I think it's no different to how Renaissance artists showed the early medieval periods as having full plate and advanced calvary
2026-05-14T13:31:38  <OpenMW-bridge> <elaxter> the goal was to use the symbolic language of the times
2026-05-14T13:31:41  <OpenMW-bridge> <rrrrrrrrr> Tbh
2026-05-14T13:31:58  <OpenMW-bridge> <rrrrrrrrr> Knowing when its set kinda adds to the story
2026-05-14T13:32:08  <OpenMW-bridge> <rrrrrrrrr> And why it is how it is imo
2026-05-14T14:03:21  <OpenMW-bridge> <jiopsi> Kind of pointless when there's ElevenLabs.
2026-05-14T14:05:13  <OpenMW-bridge> <katnjia> … point being having real artists with new voices, rather than hearing the same 5ish folks souless machine reading of the game's flavor text
2026-05-14T14:15:02  <OpenMW-bridge> <jiopsi> Maybe for some unique chars, but Elabs does pretty job with excisting voices. Like you would like Neloth to sound like Neloth from Skyrim. https://pastewaves.com/player/58ea05f8-bf29-40d5-849f-562730eadb39
2026-05-14T14:23:28  <OpenMW-bridge> <elaxter> it's entirely devoid of soul
2026-05-14T14:23:57  <OpenMW-bridge> <elaxter> And the robotic cadence doesn't go away
2026-05-14T14:25:21  <OpenMW-bridge> <jiopsi> Much better than amateur VA.
2026-05-14T14:25:37  <OpenMW-bridge> <.arrean> lmao
2026-05-14T14:25:47  <OpenMW-bridge> <jiopsi> Indeed
2026-05-14T14:26:49  <OpenMW-bridge> <mistersmellies> I think the sad truth is AI is getting better and better and in some cases already matches human made stuff. I understand being against it but stop basing your argument around quality because it won't hold up soon. There's plenty of better arguments.
2026-05-14T14:28:02  <OpenMW-bridge> <urm> > Don't base your arguments on reality because reality changes over time :todd:
2026-05-14T14:28:12  <OpenMW-bridge> <jiopsi> There's the morality argument, but for bringing free small mods back to life, I'm for it.
2026-05-14T14:28:21  <OpenMW-bridge> <urm> Don't base your arguments on AI companies marketing :ur:
2026-05-14T14:28:55  <OpenMW-bridge> <mistersmellies> I think it's already reached that level
2026-05-14T14:30:06  <OpenMW-bridge> <mistersmellies> It takes something important away from people that's a more important argument than poor product
2026-05-14T14:30:17  <OpenMW-bridge> <mistersmellies> And job losses etc
2026-05-14T14:33:30  <OpenMW-bridge> <rrrrrrrrr> Tbh ai shines for expanding misc lines like greetings mainly
2026-05-14T14:33:58  <OpenMW-bridge> <rrrrrrrrr> Id say real voice acting is probably better for named new characters in a quest mod for example
2026-05-14T14:34:26  <OpenMW-bridge> <cybvep> But even if it's fantasy, what they are showing looks like trash 🙁

2026-05-14T16:32:14  <OpenMW-bridge> <rrrrrrrrr> They could have atleast painted the armor bronze :doitswit:
2026-05-14T16:32:31  <OpenMW-bridge> <rrrrrrrrr> Instead of flat black
2026-05-14T16:32:41  <OpenMW-bridge> <cybvep> black, you say...
2026-05-14T16:32:42  <OpenMW-bridge> <cybvep> well...
2026-05-14T16:32:50  <OpenMW-bridge> <cybvep> let me find sth

2026-05-14T16:34:50  <OpenMW-bridge> <rrrrrrrrr> Imagine if they wasted all this money making that goofy greek barrel armor
2026-05-14T16:34:53  <OpenMW-bridge> <rrrrrrrrr> :clavicus:
2026-05-14T16:38:43  <OpenMW-bridge> <cybvep> I can't believe that anybody would look at such shots and say things like: wow, it looks so good! Wow, it's so cool!
2026-05-14T16:40:57  <OpenMW-bridge> <notfuji_> I kinda like the big guys.  They look like the big Dark Souls knights
2026-05-14T16:43:05  <OpenMW-bridge> <rrrrrrrrr> Hilariously do more accurate armor would generally save budget in these kind of movies
2026-05-14T16:43:14  <OpenMW-bridge> <cybvep> so far I dislike almost everything I saw
2026-05-14T16:43:15  <OpenMW-bridge> <cybvep> or heard
2026-05-14T16:43:20  <OpenMW-bridge> <cybvep> as dialogue sounds bad as well
2026-05-14T16:43:48  <OpenMW-bridge> <cybvep> and when I see the characters, they don't look as in-universe characters. They look like cosplayers.
2026-05-14T16:44:23  <OpenMW-bridge> <cybvep> but hey, at least the movie will be accurate because of no orchestra rule :trollvehk:
2026-05-14T16:44:48  <OpenMW-bridge> <rrrrrrrrr> This is actually an era accurate Greek armor type

2026-05-14T17:31:34  <OpenMW-bridge> <rrrrrrrrr> If i remember its like, bronze or something is a lot better at being made into plates than later materials, is part of why a lot of stuff looks how it did?
2026-05-14T17:33:09  <OpenMW-bridge> <.arrean> You just much more advanced metallurgy to make steel plates

2026-05-14T18:41:06  <OpenMW-bridge> <bigfoku> everyone sit down and listen to this morroboomer speak his truth
2026-05-14T18:48:06  <OpenMW-bridge> <rrrrrrrrr> Full price? Fuck no
2026-05-14T19:09:36  <OpenMW-bridge> <jiopsi> Damn. I could get it from key store with my Todd bucks. I saw that DLC is included in the price, so it might be equally priced actually, and still contain the bonus items.
2026-05-14T19:10:30  <OpenMW-bridge> <notfuji_> Its good game, but it seems like a gamble whether or not it will run at 5 fps
2026-05-14T19:12:02  <OpenMW-bridge> <.gonzo.> what hardware do you have?
2026-05-14T19:13:15  <OpenMW-bridge> <jiopsi> 5700x3D and 5070TI here.
2026-05-14T19:13:33  <OpenMW-bridge> <.gonzo.> should have a good time imo
2026-05-14T19:14:18  <OpenMW-bridge> <notfuji_> I have a 5700x3D and a 3080 and somehow it runs worse now than it did on launch
2026-05-14T19:14:29  <OpenMW-bridge> <.gonzo.> yeah it didn't run too good on my 3080
2026-05-14T19:14:34  <OpenMW-bridge> <.gonzo.> very vram limited
2026-05-14T19:14:46  <OpenMW-bridge> <.gonzo.> it was borderline tbh
2026-05-14T19:14:56  <OpenMW-bridge> <.gonzo.> if i had a worse card i would have been very mad
2026-05-14T20:25:07  <OpenMW-bridge> <rrrrrrrrr> there's actually a mod that fixes a lot of the fps
2026-05-14T20:25:25  <OpenMW-bridge> <rrrrrrrrr> apparently they set a bunch crap to run single core

2026-05-14T21:09:02  <OpenMW-bridge> <abdu7944> In terms of actual playstyle.

2026-05-14T21:31:27  <OpenMW-bridge> <mt5s2efp8> I wonder if it’s possible to record a bunch of lines with a good VA then use AI to completely change the timbre and all but meticulously preserve the intonation.
2026-05-14T21:35:29  <OpenMW-bridge> <mt5s2efp8> I’m pretty sure I’ve listened to a few joke AI redubs where both the voice and intonation us preserved but now it’s (intentionally badly) translated into a different language.
2026-05-14T21:36:11  <OpenMW-bridge> <mt5s2efp8> The preserved source intonation was like half of the joke.

2026-05-14T22:09:18  <OpenMW-bridge> <bigfoku> He kind of ends up saying like the same 3 or 4 things for the entire 30 minutes and was really really dead set on thieves not fighting people whatsoever but it was funny
2026-05-14T22:13:14  <OpenMW-bridge> <elaxter> unironically? A version of the odyssy in the modern day would fucking slap hard as shit
2026-05-14T22:30:37  <OpenMW-bridge> <bigfoku> Like that one romeo and juliet movie where theyre in like 90s-2000s la or something
2026-05-14T22:31:20  <OpenMW-bridge> <bigfoku> And theyre using like, the exact original script but theyre in a parking lot

2026-05-14T22:36:43  <OpenMW-bridge> <elaxter> I also don't think this is a true adaptation of the Odyssey, though 🤔
2026-05-14T22:37:24  <OpenMW-bridge> <Globber> as far as movie adaptations go that aren't extremely literal its surprisingly accurate
2026-05-14T22:37:34  <OpenMW-bridge> <Globber> literal adaptations rarely work well anyway
2026-05-14T22:38:00  <OpenMW-bridge> <batra> It's not a literal or conventional adaptation of The Odyssey, but it is a really good one.
2026-05-14T22:38:07  <OpenMW-bridge> <elaxter> I was thinking more like Romeo + Juliet.
2026-05-14T22:38:09  <OpenMW-bridge> <Globber> It does feel a bit like like a feaver dream
2026-05-14T22:38:28  <OpenMW-bridge> <batra> Oh Death is one of my favorite pieces of American folk music.
2026-05-14T22:38:37  <OpenMW-bridge> <batra> I've prolly listened to 50 different covers.
2026-05-14T22:39:42  <OpenMW-bridge> <Globber> I was surprised to find out how tightly oh brother seems to be tied to The Grand Old Opre
2026-05-14T22:39:59  <OpenMW-bridge> <batra> The music hall?
2026-05-14T22:40:10  <OpenMW-bridge> <Globber> the show that built the hall
2026-05-14T22:40:17  <OpenMW-bridge> <batra> Ohhh
2026-05-14T22:40:29  <OpenMW-bridge> <Globber> or rather the acts on the show
2026-05-14T22:42:14  <OpenMW-bridge> <Globber> Like for example the music recorder dude is seems to be a reference to an actual person that was a dick about recording contracts with acts that ended up being influential on the show
2026-05-14T22:44:08  <OpenMW-bridge> <batra> I suppose it's not that surprising. The Opry is the biggest bastion of American folk music that hasn't been wholly corrupted by cold beer daisy dukes truck fishin' bro country.
