Shattered Kingdoms

Imagine if you had a computer that solely responded to voice commands and you were playing SK.

"kill lean"
"kill lean"
"kill lean"
"score"
"who"
"order all bash lean"
"flee"
"[REDACTED]"
Huh? Type 'help' for a list of commands.
"tell priest hello i've fallen to some nasty lean fellows, would you restore me. my name is qyxnzix."
"tell priest no wait its kyxnzix."
"tell priest uh.. my name is really cyxnzix."
"out of character come on man, don't be a [REDACTED] ress me."

And so on and so forth.

You'd be the scariest neighbor ever.

Oh my god. That'd be hilarious.

"Dear... our little Syn keeps screaming weird things from her room."

"Didn't we agree not to call her that after she was born?!?!"

"Honey, I didn't mean..."

"GET BACK IN THE KITCHEN GREP"

" "

I couldn't speak fast enough. I mean, come on. No way Syn, lothoriel, edoras, peso, ardith, or baldric would be as good as they are if they had to say everything. now, a computer that responded solely to thoughts, that's something i'd use to play SK.

even though, that would end up in a lot more of the "Huh? Type 'help'" messages...a LOT more.

I'd love to post with a direct thought-to-post medium.

I think it'd make for interesting reading.

Even more off-topic, I'd absolutely love to see SK realized within a 3d game engine similar to WoW: One of the biggest problems (aside from the fact that it would never happen due to lack of resources unless it were made into a subscription game) is that roleplay would be more difficult given that your player actions would be on a different level than your RP actions. It'd be a lot harder to spend time performing says, cabal chats, emotes, tells, etc during combat or travel.

Unless of course, everyone was on a global vent. If there was a global vent though, there'd have to be some sort of built-in voice modulator so that you could alter your natural voice to sound like your character voice.

I think we'd all love to hear your falsetto.

Only if I was playing a bard.

Isn't Dulrik a video game coder? I wonder why he hasn't already done this. He made a Charlie Brown shirt for this one skater in Toxic Revenge (?). Hell, if you can make a Charlie Brown shirt you can make a graphical SK. C'mon, bro.
