Trying Spanish Voice Acting

[Proximity_13]

So if there is one thing that bothers me the most about Wildlands, its the voice acting. Playing it for the first time I thought it was meh even though it had its moments (Like the jokes! Gotta admit they are on point for the military). But it was the first time I heard most of the dialogue and I wanted to catch the whole story, so I went along with it. Now that I'm hopping into the game again, I find it tarnishes the atmosphere of the game. The semi serious acting just doesn't meet the tone I was trying to get out of it.

After hearing "######balls" one time too many decided to experiment. I completely turned off the voices. When just roaming around it was fine, but once the shooting started without any yelling or radio chatter on either side, I found that wasn't a great experience either. So I changed the spoken language to Spanish.

And so far I'm really liking it!

It makes sense for the Ghosts to choose operators that are fluent in Spanish and to constantly use it to help reduce suspicion in public and in case of radio interception. Even though I don't speak the language I can still tell what's going on when approaching bases. And to me the voice actors present a more serious tone. It makes other things feel more realistic too, like when a rebel radio transmission is actually in Spanish.

If you haven't give it a try and see what you think!

You know I really never thought of doing this! Weaver's monotone delivery is grating and the fact that Midas and Holt are nearly indistinguishable from each other doesn't help.

I've noticed that the female voices for the team are a little better. Unfortunately you can only do this with an all-female squad during multiplayer since there's no AI customization available. A pity since Ubisoft went through the effort of recording all of the Ghosts' lines twice for each gender.
