I don't mind the russian accent. Would've loved a more pipboy fitting filter over it though.
But the big thing that puts me off. I watched the video and on multiple occasions I had to replay a part multiple times before I could fully comprehend what was being said. Fe "Powerarmor Enter" I think was one of the big ones I had issues with. And I don't think it's the accent, somehow the words feel jumbled together instead of seperate.
I think to add a bit of immersion, there should be a filter over the voice that makes it sound scratchy and old. That Pipboy has been sitting rusting on the ground for 210 years, so it'd make sense the voice module wouldn't be in the best condition.
Upon typing out an entirely speculative conjecture based solution, I decided to erase all that and simply add, if some one wants to do the leg work and make that mod themselves. They should look at https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/18541 and see about either patching Snezhana audio output to pass through the filter in the above mentioned mod. Should allow for that somewhat authentic sound.
nice its just that the voice sounds very Russian accent and I'm not a fan of that. Maybe someone can do a different voice as a addon to this then I might download.
Well I think the point here is, in a very anti-communist America such as in Fallout, the American Vault-Tec company would certainly NOT make an AI voice assistant anything other than an American voice. Otherwise they'd be associated with the FILTHY commies. Oh boy, they can't have that. I do like this idea though. In a time period where robot personalities were starting to be put in everything, I can imagine some model Pip-Boys had one. Although I think this implementation is a little lackluster. Could do with gradual improvements, make it less of a gimmick and more of a useful feature.
In case anyone is confused, this is not a real AI chat bot injected into the game but a voiced descriptor mod like Subtitles for the Hearing Impaired to add a little more flair to the game. Some users may find this mod a QoL they may or may not want and if it does end up picking up some more attention then others could make voice replacers of various accents and gender.
But where is the AI?? I was expecting this to be linked up with chatGPT or Copilot or one of those. I'm constantly using Copilot to give me hints on where to find the best loot. I would love to be able to ask my PipBoy this stuff in-game. Still cool tho
With the Handys being English and Nannies being French, I kinda like that the AI has a Russian accent. I already run around with a French Curie and Irish Cait.
