What do you think about the potential for pet dialogue so far?

    I would be fine with random chatting.
    I mean seriously, we've all played RPGs where your companions talk random crap for no reason. Even within battle.
    Oh, Dragon Age...

    I plan to be a God Emperor, I can't have my pets being all compassionate and happy. They need to fear me.

    Whenever I have a pet in a game, I rarely, if ever, cause it harm. However, I must say that if I find these pets to be completely devoid of sound, Mr. Fluffykins is goin' in the first volcano I can find. :seriously:

    Pardon my saying so, but if you would of been here for the past several days, you'd know.

    I really hope not. The only thing that could make annoying cluttersome companions worse is if they had huge speech bubbles popping out of them with all lowercase text.

    I don't get it.

    Immersion break I suppose.
    I mean, walking in the dusk and suddenly you see a glimmer in the bushes, you find that it was a gold nugget. Then suddenly a chat bubble pops up saying: "Hooray!".

    I am alright with pets 'talking' as indicated in the current reveal page. Personally undecided as to whether they should be 'cutesy' abbreviated words like those shown, or something a little more meaningful.

    I wonder if they will have personalities, which will effect the way the pets speak.
    It's the future so it wouldn't be weird for pets to speak so.
     
  16. I kinda like it! Imagine if you were storing your pet: "brb" When you take it out again: "rdy"

    bio, thx, gtz, kk, cya, plz.... Too friggin cute. I think that any kind of interactions that these pets will have will make (most) people enjoy them more. I'm hoping for the chat bubbles, sound effects, actions/commands, and even different animations that depend on whats going on around them. (like maybe shivering in the cold, or being scared of certain other pets that they encounter. Anyway, I'm not worried about it at all either way, I trust the devs.. Completely. Wow, never said that before.

    My thoughts exactly! I liked the "brb" and "rdy" idea lol. I was thinking of other things they could say for different situations like when they are hungry they might say "pls" and if you feed them they say "thx". The page says they're useful in other ways so maybe they could fetch items for you and when they do they could say "brb". If there was a pet command/trick system they could say "k" or "kk" when responding to commands or tricks.

    [Edit] Oh and when you pet them, if possible, they might say "ilu" or "ily".

    I think this would be wonderful. Imagine if there was dynamic text speech for every happening.

    "tim2fite"
    "omgz"
    "1v1me"
    "lmao"
    "lol"
    "rofl"
    "stlkr"

    Right now i hate it. I don't want to have a traveling LOL Cat behind me, if animals have dialogue, it should be proper.
