NPC voice lines and/or better text lines!

We need voice coms from NPCs!

or better text coms...

The ones we have now feel like Disney+ material and really seem way too "gentle" for a game set in an unforgiving universe with wars, famine, drugs, violence, piracy etc.

Come on, Fdev, a little bit of profanity and vulgar language for those criminals we blast to bits in extraction sites wouldn't hurt the game, now won't it?

For Odyssey I agree, it is PEGI 16 after all. The NPC trash talk is hilariously bad even if you bother to read the text comms. "I'm gonna boil you up" 5 seconds later "no this can't be happening. :sleep:

What gets me every time is the "How do you fools make a living?"
Oh, thanks for asking, let me show you!

One of the addons (EDcopilot IIRC) translates NPC text to voice.

Yes, but it feels very unnatural. And also, it's not only about the NPCs having no voice, it's also about the text itself that feels like out of a child's cartoon.
Did humanity become extra sensitive and polite in the year 3k?

Same goes for NPCs during missions that give you intel.
  • "Do not be alarmed"
  • "I mean... You fly a cobra, I fly a Vulture/Mamba/Corvette/conda, you should be alarmed, one zap and you're dust."
It all feels a bit too tame and too PC or PEGI10, maybe 12 if you count the fact you shoot humans or supposedly humans in space ships.

Well all the space stuff is in a PEGI7 game.

PEGI 7 for the base game :)

Yes, base game can stay as is, but EDO could at least have improved this part as well to make everything more believable.
Also, most kids that age nowadays have way more inspired insults than what we can read in local, and this even without the use of profanity.

I would settle for simply more new NPC chatter in the local chat. The same couple of dozen lines of dialogue get old very fast, and it doesn't feel to me like it would be a huge amount of work to add a couple hundred new lines of NPC local chat dialogue. I'm sure that someone in the development team could spend an hour or two to add a couple hundred new lines (with perhaps another dev reviewing the new text for grammar and appropriateness.) Very little work, would spice up the random local chatter a bit.
