#like. the supportive dialogue options in maccready's affinity dialogues are all delivered in an overtly naive way

also one of the specific reasons that Playing The Actual Game (or watching videos of the game) is that the nuance in line delivery is often very important. A lot of dialogue lines get discoursed to death on here and then when you actually hear them in-game it's like "wait a minute". Like in text form the nuances of a VA's delivery are often lost.

#my friend blondie is often a victim of this #like yeah i guess when completely pulled out of context and in the form of text only you could argue that's what he means #but the VA very much did not deliver it that way and when you actually hear it the actual purpose of the line is quite clear. #this makes sense right #also like. look im going to be honest the sole survivor's voice acting is often quite bad #but also there's a lot of conversations. especially with companions. where the nuance in the delivery surprised me. #like there was actually something very specific that was being communicated here. that you would miss if you were just reading the text #plain. #like. the supportive dialogue options in maccready's affinity dialogues are all delivered in an overtly naive way #which makes it obvious that mac's responses back are supposed to be read as manipulative #which is very important context that most people miss!!!
