Tenno Need A Voice Too

[Rawr0w0]

I've been thinking recently how interesting it would be if during gameplay, the Tenno spoke. Grineer and Corpus have their own language, so why not Tenno? Lotus, Stalker, and a few bosses speak...

Just an idea for a bonus thing that could be added.

Edit: The biggest thing I was really thinking of were using cues like the military already uses if not actual voice speech.

it could also destroy the image that people have of tenno.

can you imagine what saryn sounds like when she talks?

how about ember or rhino or loki or any of them?

 

now... can you imagine if the voice they get is nothing like what you imagined?

to the people who care about small details like that (a fairly large amount of us around here), that would do more harm than good.

People who are silent are much cooler.

[Damuranashi]

Because that is part of the lore of Warframe. The Tenno must be stoic and silent.

[Omega224]

the tenno should communicate but not speak which is why theres an emote system coming

[Angius]

It was discussed multiple times.

 

Answer... The answer never changes...

NO

[Sni7ch]

The Lotus is our voice. 

 

Plus DE said 5-7 live streams ago that the Tenno do not need to talk. They are space ninjas! Space ninja do not talk!

[xShadowsaur]

I think it is best that the Tenno do not have a voice. At all. They need not a voice. Their actions are loud enough. Valkyr is the closest thing we should have to a voice for the Tenno, and that is a scream of unbridled rage upon our enemies. We are the "Mute Peasants" that will bring reconing upon the system. We need not a voice.

This. ^ 

Just like the Master Chief's face. :P

[Brimir]

No, silent protagonists allows each and every one of us to identify with our Tenno in a way you wouldn't get if they were talking.

[Thaumatos]

Almost exactly like that, actually.

 

It's a forgone process of making things more in-depth (most likely to save time/effort) that turns into a cult-like following and eventually becomes part of the 'feel' of the game.

 

If they would have put voices in to begin with, just like if they would have taken the time to actually make Master Chief's face early on, it wouldn't have been a big deal.  Since they didn't, it kinda is a big deal now.

[Maou]

This is like asking them to show their faces.

Given Saryn's Frame design she probably has one of those sultry voices that would make the other tenno stop fighting to stare at her likely getting them all killed :P

you know it.

thats one of the hidden dangers of giving them voices.

 

yet another reason to not give them vocal cords.

 

im only slightly kidding here

[Imaru]

It would be like asking Gordon Freeman or Chell to talk or Master Chief to show his face. Ninjas have no reason to talk.

[FROST1197]

More than that I'd like more NPC allies telling us what going on instead of Lotus all the time or the occasional Darvo.

[billthebetta]

People who are silent are much cooler.

And Frost is the coolest.

[Ailana]

I do think it would be interesting to have voices for our Tenno but there is a mystique to them not speaking think Snake Eyes from G.I. Joe.

[Genoscythe]

It would destroy the "alter-ego" feeling many people have of their Tenno. If Tenno would speak, many people would not be able to identify themselves with them anymore, they would all have the same voice (but there are 3 million different Tenno out there, each one unique) which would kinda not make sense.

i kinda imagine her poison ivy style, a deadly temptation of sorts

Now that is a voice I'd take for Saryn in a heartbeat I'd even pay plat for it. ^_^

Given the design council's recent corpus voice butchery I'd stay away from this topic. 

[-CM-Syein]

I used to love corpus...until I heard their voices. Now they're as annoying as grineer.

Hey, we picked the lesser evil...!

 

Not like we asked for the voices to be changed in the first place.
