      I think that was meant to be the character making a joke. The problem with being a voice actor is you're often just given a huge list of lines to read without knowing the context, so she had no idea she should have been passing it off as a joke... if she was even capable of it. That's my guess. I think that in order to reduce the odds of a script being leaked, they don't like giving people a whole script, even if the script is crap.

    • @bunnieskitties293
      @bunnieskitties293 9 місяців тому +245

      Genuinely 100% agree.
      It reminds me of a thing I saw once called "Happy Lights" where they drilled an electrode into some girl's head and could turn a dial to change its frequency altering her happiness and depression outlook. They showed in real time turning the dial and asking her how she felt. She went from pure serendipity and exuberant joy to literally willing to slit her wrists in a turn of a knob. Once the electrode was in, she no longer had autonomy.
      The making her sad wasnt the creepy part. It was being able to make her happy. The thing about the happiness is it was even more complete and controlling than any drug. She was so happy while the dial was maxed out that she would be happy with ANY situation, any inconvenience just wasnt a trouble anymore. She would gleefully say yes to almost anything.
      My first thought was imagining a corporate future where part of agreeing to a job was having a happy lights installed that theyd turn to Happy while you were on the clock. You know, to ensure good customer service. Meanwhile it makes you happy and agreeable to anything. Unpaid overtime? Sure, no biggie. Pay cut? Im cool with that. Uncle Touchy's Nekkid Puzzle Basement? Poor guy needs some company, Ill help out.
      The implications of being made unshakably happy against your will is a terrible slavery. This game comes so close to that.

      ​@@TheArklyteNah, plot of FO4 was "if machines were made of the exact same stuff as humans, and shaped the exact same way, are they human?" There was never an "oh shit, go back" moment for the Institute, they just got frustrated with the constraints and maintenance of the plastic and metal robots they were building before they started growing synths in biolabs. Synths can't reproduce, can't age, are supposed to be immune to radiation, stronger than humans, etc, so they could be better workers for Institute operations by design.

  • @nooneimportanttoyou

    Okay guys, I think we need a followup video. This game is fucking weird. So first off, googling the game doesn't get nearly as many results as you would expect. Like they do have a website, but it is not the top result. They don't have their own wikipedia page, but instead share a page with a development studio. So just the whole internet presence around this game is so small. I started looking into this because I was curious about Hannah Stone's voice actress. I figured the reason they would go with someone who has such a strong accent and is uh... well not very good, was because she was just super famous. Like a Gal Gadot kind of thing. So her name is Fee Marie Zimmermann. She is a model, and this game is her only voice acting credit according to IMDB. Her public facebook also doesn't have her doing any VA work prior to this project. Also as far as I can tell she isn't particularly famous in her own right. I just assumed it was someone's girlfriend or something. This game is just... so weird. What is going on with it? It doesn't seem like it was a super small project, but the news around it is non-existent. Who are these people? What is this game?

      @@Totallynotkyubey Yeah. Once the twist got revealed: that the synths are just ordinary humans who were in desperate situations, who in order to get out of said situations signed up to be indentured servants (or really just slaves for life) with reprogramed memories, it all made sense.
      It's a story about how perception of reality can be manipulated by society, media, and the government. And how a seemingly perfect miracle product can sometimes turn out to be not so much a "miracle" after all.
      The layers Stone has to go through to realize that synths are just humans, let alone figure out that she is a synth, is insane. She has to essentially disprove a fundamentally accepted science regarding synths, she has to piece together that her memories aren't real through what other people say, and she repeatedly has to ignore safe and well established options and go with her gut towards the real truth. And all of this is there to show just how hard it is for other synths to come to the same conclusions.
      The layers of corruption run so deep that a lot of characters can just be synths, people with reprogramed memories designed to do do the bidding of Dauer Synthetics.
      And really, it manages to actually end up being a successful allegory for slavery in that sense: because it's not just a moral thing, it's about a comprehension of reality.
      And unlike Detroit Become Human, where the androids are, well, just androids. And we're supposed to just treat them like they're human "because they have emotions" (which repeatedly cause them to harm and kill people). The synths in Wanted Dead actually ARE humans. That is what makes Wanted Dead work as an allegory where Detroit Become Human fails.

    As corny as these characters are, I kind of love the idea of a deaf demolitionist. Paying the price for getting too into his profession.
    ADDENDUM: I stopped the video at some point to sleep. So if he’s mute or just taking a vow of silence is all up in the air for me until I finish the video. Either way, the concept of deaf demolitionist still sounds like a really cool idea on its own.

      This game is way less charming than Deadly Premonition. That's probably because of a lot of Deadly Premonition's faults can be forgiven due to its age. The fact that the main character is interesting and likeable, and most importantly not voiced by a robot (ironically), also helps a ton. Deadly Premonition's biggest advantage though is that it's a cheap copy of a preexisting story, Twin Peaks, which was actually good.
