Was some of the Dialogue cut?

I Think some of the Dialogues in the Experiment were longer / different a while ago.

Also when I play the Algorithm Isic sometimes talks to Kleese but Kleese doesn’t answer anything… it’s something like “Kleese, tell me why you won’t let me finish the ALGORITHM.”

Dialogue wasn’t cut since beta. Before then, a lot of lines were removed, likely to lessen server load

I don’t believe we’ve cut any mission dialog, or if we have, not much of it. Most of the changes to dialog post-launch have been fixing bugs where certain lines play too frequently.

What you experience here is likely one of two things:

  1. Just a bug, sometimes the dialog doesn’t play.

or, most likely

  1. Our random dialog system. We recorded multiple lines for several moments in each mission, and those can also be influenced by which characters you are playing in the mission.

OK… it probably happens most of the times due to moving characters to quick and triggering multiple dialogues…

I’ll try to rush less to see if that helps. Since there are no cuts in Dialogue that should fix it.

There’s defintiely several instances where I can think of where dialogue is being cut due to the way checkpoints are reached with a group of people, such as the dialogue between the thrall at the bottom of the elevator in The Sentinel mission. I’ve only ever heard it from “…that’s fine third time’s the charm” which is sorta random without the first part of the conversation.

I would recommend people read up on the dialogue and point out where certain dialogue cues are failing so they can get put on a todo list for the far far future, even if its a low priority thing, we can at least make the devs aware of them :slight_smile:


(I would also be keen if people could identify which characters are needed to trigger character specific lines so I can add this to my dialogue page)

Whoa, is that what’s happening?

I’ve only ever heard the last bit of dialogue from that thrall in The Sentinel and I have always wondered what is going on. It goes from Melka and Nova to that dude.

Good to know.
