They can crank out these chapters by putting a handful of NPC VAs in a VA booth and have them run through all the dialog once. If they had to do the PC voices, they'd have to put 8 VAs in the booth for each line of PC dialog alongside the NPC ones, and they're busy recording the main storyline voice work at the same time. <br /><br />Also, an awful lot of the Alliance Alert VA work is non-Basic, which means they don't even need to put the VA into the booth, they can just choose from the selection of pre-recorded lines. I doubt it's a coincidence that the Star-Fortress companions, to a sentient, do not speak basic.<br /><br />Conservation of detail, indeed.<br />"Story" Characters are (including Darth Marr and HK-55) 14 basic speakers and one binary speaker (T7)<br />Alliance Alerts are 7 and 7 (or 8 and 6, I don't recall if Skadge speaks Basic or Huttese)<br />All 6 HSF companions are non-Basic-speakers<br /><br />(Plus Tanno Vik - whose absence from recruitability has been rumored to be due to unavailability of the VA)Ian Argenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03704336044732061128noreply@blogger.com
