• Hey everyone happy Christmas Eve we're aware of what's happened with the source code so to keep this simple absolutely don't post it on the site or use it to make mods with (it's not particularly preferable toward this end anyway) and tread lightly in general until we see how this settles, thanks to all and have a great holiday season -DT

Why is Quote a mute?

Maybe he is really one big LED display. No wonder he's such a flat character.

He tunes whatever he wants to say into a person's brainwave frequency.

Curly's antenna (or headphones) can pick up whatever Quote tunes as long as he is nearby.

Curly can talk because she is a later model.

totally

ALSO: I agree with the silent protagonist business.

Y'know, I'm tempted to actually work on a mod of CS where Quote actually does talk. -__-;

I'm one of those gamers that likes to hear what my character has to say. Throw that fourth wall in my face, dang it!

Well there are no key words in that thread that Quote talks so I'm not surprised.

If that's so, then maybe I actually should work on such a mod after all. I don't exactly see any jumping up and hitting me in the face. At all... >_>

Should I do the honors, then? =D
Anyways, I don't know how you're mod would be liked, if it was just adding dialogue for Quote...
Silence kinda suits him anyways...
..Giving him a voice would then give him a personality, and everyone already sees him differently...

Make Quote speak Esperanto. Then no one will be able to understand him, anyway. No one important, at least.

I'm pretty sure this has already been pointed out many times...

but about the Quote-talks mod, yeah, I don't think it's a very good idea, not really worth the effort (unless you, like, made Quote's speech hilarious or something O_o)

It has?
Well, no one mentioned it to me =/

Besides, how hard would it be to just add in speech?
Go for something harder, and thus more rewarding =D

Or Quote could talk in binary. I doubt many players could figure out what he's saying, although there would be a lot to scroll through.

Many?
I don't think anyone could translate the numbers of Binary into full-fledged sentences....
:)
No wait, maybe he talks in Hexadecimal? =D
