Promotion Voice

So, I noticed something....

If you are a Fed, when get promoted, you have Spock congratulating you.

If you are KDF, when you get promoted, Worf congratulates you.

If you are Rom, when you get promoted, Sela Congratulates you.

One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things doesn't belong<
Can you tell which thing is not like the others
by the time we finish our song.

It is odd to me that Sela, the person who was depised so much that Tiaru Jarok was in favor of just putting her up against a wall and having and end to it, would be congratulating us when we gain a new level, when the player character canonically serves with the RRF. I call for an immediate casting with the voice of D'tan, or better yet, Obisek!! :D

Opinions?

    Let Maria Rousseau (the Epohh Girl) do it -- or better yet, let me do it with the Epohh Girl voice. *nod*

    How about Tovan Khev congratulates you? Just kidding I frakking hate that guy. I favor D'Tan.

    But seriously, if Jarok was ready to vape her right then and there, why is she congratulating us?

    I could get on board having D'tan or Obisek congratulate us on our promotions.

    I can get behind that too. She does have a nice sounding voice.

    Eh, Sela was the right choice at the launch of LoR, given that she was an important Romulan in the series. There weren't a whole lot of seriously important Romulans shown on screen with the exception of a few. Donatra comes to mind, but she got all... Borg. So that's a problem.

    Now that the Republic is more developed, makes sense to redo the VO for level-up - especially now that we hear it for every new spec point awarded. Jarok would be my #1 choice. They obviously still have the actor on speed dial, given that she was around for DR.

    D'Tan can't do your congratulatory message for promotion because he's too busy sucking up to the Vulcans.

    Here's a surprise for you, the voice of the Promotion is just Denise Crosby, it has nothing whatsoever to do with Sela. The same can be said of Dorn and Nimoy.

    Here's a surprise for you. They also happened to play characters on Star Trek. If you honestly think Cryptic put the voices up and expected them to not be seen as Spock, Worf, and Sela, you need to take some critical thinking lessons.

    Three well known Trek actors providing voices for the factions they're most easily associated with? Iunno, looks fine to me.

    I mean, if you wanted to be pedantic, you could correctly argue that Sela isn't a representative of the Republic, but rather the Empire, which isn't technically the faction we play. But you're missing the point if that's where you're arguing from.

    So, they voiced a character in the game, it still doesn't mean that the voice for the Promotion thing is THAT particular character.

    You are secretly working for the Tal'Shiar to undermine the weak Federation and Klingon Empire but just haven't found that out yet. :P

    Yep, very much. No full TS uniform, but change the promotion voice.

    From the Sirius Sector Block accolade text:
    Nimoy wrote:
    My friend sacrificed so much to secure peace with the Klingons. I bear the responsibility for the consequences to him and his crew ... a thought that troubles me to this day.

    I'm pretty sure that's a reference to Kirk. Which would mean it's Spock narrating. Sela does the same thing for the Tau Dewa narration, referring to the Republic as "my people".

    "Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

    You can't hear D'Tan's congradulatory message anyways because he's too busy prostrating himself to the Vulcans. If someone's face is constantly to the dirt as they're prostrated all the time, you can't hear them well :cool:

    Maybe if the Vulcans tell him, "Shoo! Shoo!" then D'Tan can actually acknowledge the leaders of his military.

    Unless D'tan's voice actor is a Trek alum who is easily recognized as a Romulan, then no.

    I would vote either D'Tan or Jarok.
    (I'm leaning more towards Tiaru Jarok because I prefer female voices.)

    I wouldn't need any congradulations from Jarok. Her incompetence almost lost a Scimitar-class ship, the flagship of the Romulan Republic's Navy, to a simple Boarding Party III.

    I'd rather hear a "Good job!" from Tovan freakin' Khev than her.
