I have to wonder...

...am I the only one who, when playing RPGs or other games where there's significant amounts of unvoiced dialogue, begins dubbing it on the fly? Including voices?

I also have been known to read the own PC's dialogue if it goes largely unvoiced.
Jen and I have great fun with that when we play together. I got to hear her read her character's lines.

She actually recorded a soundset for BG1/2, once upon a time...

Heehee. Oh, yes. It is fun to read out the PCs lines, particularly when you can get some good snark in.

And yay for soundsets!

...and then there was Miss Flaming Butterflies, which I was reading out to everyone in a Southern Belle accent...

*cough* Um, who, me, read out the lines? *innocent*

*laughs* Actually, that was one of the things that I particularly had in mind when I posted this. Since there's only a very small sampling of 'canon voices', I found myself talking out the lines at length.

...besides, some things needed to be shouted. Complete with dramatic pointing of fingers!

God, yes. I love that you can /actually/ shout at the game. :D And there are some other lines that just beg to be shouted, or sneered (when you finally get a prosecutor on the ropes, it's hard not sneer, because they're so blasted SMUG all through the game), or whatever.

Oh heck no.

I also make up dialogue when there is none. Y'know, like in some of the more boring dungeon-crawl style RPGs.

We don't want to know how Nyssa's turning the Undead.

...I sense story, here!

There most certainly IS.

Of course you're not alone in that!
