Starfield: The Art of Role-Playing Without a Voice – Bethesda’s Magnificent World Unleashed

2023-08-30 09:30:04

Bethesda’s new work “Starfield” is finally about to be released, but it turned out that there was a possibility that the main character would have a voice during the development stage. Could it have been Fallout 4 style? This was revealed in an interview with overseas media Polygon, where Starfield’s lead designer, Emil Pagliarulo, said that the main character was planned to be voiced during the pre-production stage. However, at the stage of repeating tests using voice actors, he seems to have thought that ‘the only way a player can become who they want to be is to create a voiceless hero.’ “Starfield” has more than 200,000 lines of dialogue, but the main character does not have a voice. However, according to him, he was able to create such a magnificent world because the main character had no voice. “Cyberpunk 2077” also had a voice for the main character, and “Starfield” emphasized role-playing. While this makes the main character’s individuality stand out, it inevitably narrows the scope of role-playing as an RPG, so it received a lot of pros and cons. It is said that the reaction from users to this work indirectly influenced the decision to make this work without voice. “Cyberpunk 2077” is also an RPG, but the main character has a voice and the character is solidified, so it’s not an uncommon choice. However, in this work, it seems that the emphasis was on a style that allows a wide range of role-playing for the player. Starfield will be released on September 6, 2023 for PC (Steam/Microsoft store)/Xbox Series X|S. It also supports Xbox/PC Game Pass.
