Official Poll Regarding SOMA's Monsters

[SlackerinDeNile]

In case any of you didn't know, Akers was originally supposed to be voiced, he was originally supposed to be a rambling nutcase similar to the Tuungait zombies from Penumbra. If you check the subtitle dialogue files in the games data folders you'll see that he has lines of dialogue that were never voiced for some reason. I'm presuming that either Frictional ran out of time to have the voice actor do all this stuff and then edit it to sound really scary or they just decided to scrap it altogether for some reason.

Some of the frictional staff also believe that mindless, feral or insane monsters are more scary than motivated, intelligent ones. I disagree with this completely as Clarence from Penumbra was one of the scariest villains i've ever heard or seen in a video game, once he gets his own, disgusting, decomposing, yellow Tuungait body he's horrifying! I personally wish that both Akers and the Proxies had been voiced beyond their creepy, primitive sounds, to give a hint that they used to be real human beings...
