What do they sound like?

Yes, a simple topic. But how do you think the guys talk in Stranger? Well we all know how Stranger talks, but what about the outlaws?

Here's what I think...

D. Caste Raider- Because of his name's punial prenounciation I first though that he'd have a latino accent, but due to a recent inhabitants description of the character I think he has the stereotypical deep western-accent.

Blisterz Booty- As described by Sapphire, the average western-dumb-accent just as I thought.

Filthy Hands Floyd- Due to his low-brow wicked look, I'm guessing he has an evil raspy voice with cunning in each syllable.

Meagly McGraw- He has a very manic look among his face, I'm guessing his voice is filled with anger, similar to FHF's voice only a little more..er...insane.

Looten Duke- I honestly can't tell, the one picture we got doesn't show me enough to judge him yet. He probly has a deep voice, but due to his Title as a duke I think he has more educated speech.

Pack Rat Palooka- Just like MM's and FHF's only--do to his cigar--more raspy and mad.

Mortimar Bang- Like the duke, I can't quite put my finger on what he sounds like. I'll leave it up to you to decide.

Flint "Explosives" McGee- Defineately like the glukkons, deep mobster voice. Period.

What you think?

I never heard any of OW4 how they sound like. But yeah you could be right about how they sound like. I though the Clakkerz sounded like Vykkers. I like...

There are a lot of new characters. I wonder how many of them Lorne is doing the voices for. I mean, everyone must have their limits don't they?

You know how True Crime:Streets of L.A. had Christopher Walken as a guest voice and Grand Theft Auto:Vice City used Ray Liotta? Well, I ways thinking that it would be really cool if Oddworld got some guest talent. Like Jack Nicolson for Meagly MgGraw, maybe Dan Castanella for a really diabolical Krusty voice for Mortimar Bang, etc.

Lorne said in an interview that they prefer to use in-house voices because outside talent is expensive and notoriously uncooperative with the games process, where the dialogue is changed on a regular basis. They would thus need to bring actors back repeatedly (fitting in with the actor's schedules, of course), paying extra every time.
