The topic of Voice Lines and such...

To me, it's a matter of how well it fits the character. Any survivor currently in this game could have their own voice, except maybe those who are canonically mute. Like the deaf chick from "A Quiet Place." Don't expect Demogorgon to be singing "The Star Sprangled Banner," cause it's not canonically possible.

So, how could they implement this...? The Realm Beyond update... It's how both parties be getting their chase / lobby music, visual reworks, etc. Especially the map reworks, which are hit and miss at best, but at least they're balance, I guess.

The Swamp is the final map that has yet to be reworked, afterwards, they could continue on with The Realm Beyond by giving Survivors and (some) Killers their own unique voice lines. They could start with the OG four, then next time do Nea, Feng, Ace, and David. And after those 4 they could do Doctor, Bill, Pig and Tapp. And they could just continue on like this, four characters every three months. Laurie, I'm not sure about, I could be wrong. And they might just skip the Freddy chapter.

How would this work? Well, simple. Just reuse lines you usually here, "Oh, no!" "I gotta hide…" "It's coming!" "HELP ME!" Unless they just stick to lobby lines, which could be easier and more cost effective. Again, recycling lines, "Where am I?" "Who are you?" "Are you me?!" "Why am I shirtless?!" "WHERE'S THE OUTHOUSE?!" "Does anyone want s'mores?" They just gotta do their best to make the characters sound unique, like the Lyra siblings speaking to each other in Portuguese, and Sable's "Yum" lines, hopefully without it feeling forced… And to those who vocally dislike voice lines. If you could disable them in both POVs, what then...?

They could also give unique interactive dialogue (similar to the Lyra Twins and S.T.A.R.S team). Like Sable and Mikaela, for example.

Along with new voice lines for survivors, they could also continue giving certain Killers visual rework and lobby music, like Michael for example. It'd be a good time to give him that extended lobby music. Maybe for his future rework...?

But overall, feel free to share you opinions on this topic. Thanks for reading.

    I would love for Bill to have voice lines but I digress, the original voice actor passed away.

    R.I.P. Jim French. I miss you.

    Except The Realm Beyond is only about visually updating older existing content.

    QOL changes like map balance, new music and other things like that on the other hand is more of a general mid-chapter thing.

    If we ever get new voice lines for existing killers, chances are that it'll be added via the latter.
