Bad acting, bad voice overs, and plot holes! Oh my

[Klobbersaurus414]

One of my first reactions to the cut scenes was "What bad acting!" The other was,"Ha ha ha, that guy has bushy eyebrows!" The voice acting isnt so great either. The thing that annoys me most is the missuse of the fremen language. They said that Bi-La Caifa means "long live the fighters" when it really means "amen". Ya hya chouhada means long live the fighters. Its kind of unnerving for a nerd like me.

No one is perfect Klob. Could you make better cutscenes? Westwood tries you know, give them some respect.

[Klobbersaurus414]

Youre right, but they could have just looked in the back of the book and found right definition of Bi-la caifa.

[Mahdi]

You could have done the same and found the right spelling.

[Klobbersaurus414]

Okay, i see everyone is attacking me! Yes i was wrong, kaifa is spelled with a k, not a c. Would you like me to take off this topic if i can?

[Klobbersaurus414]

You guys are making me feel guilty for making fun of the acting and im jsut going to set traps for myself by making small mistakes, just ignore this and dont reply, okay. Lets forget this ever happened.

Dune 2000: Long Live the Fighters was the title for Dune2k. If I remember correctly they used Ya Hya Chouhada correctly in that game so not using it right in Emperor seems a little weird. The acting in Westwood games has always been considered bad by some people, personally I liked the rendered cutscenes they had in earlier games... even the acting in the original C&C was pretty good.

I loved the costumes, I want to buy me the one Shaddam IV was wearing :)

[Klobbersaurus414]

Yeah, it was good considering they didnt have a big, Hollywood budget. One moment, at the last cutscene (CGI battle with worm and flyover of desert) the voice acting in that scene about prophecy sent chills up and down my spine.

Hey Klobbersaurus what House is that cutscene from?

[Klobbersaurus414]

Atreides, after you kill the emperor worm.

Some of the voice acting is comic. In the middle of a battle, to hear "radiation level: huh, whatever," is somewhat funny.
