Do you think the Skull Merchant should have Voice Lines?

I only ask for one simple reason... She looks like a normal lady. Judging from her... spectacular lore... she's basically a Brazilian cosplayer with serious mental issues. Also, because the Lyra twins were the first OGs to have Voice Lines, she deserves a voice, I guess.

(I bet you thought she was a merc, too, didn't you? You were wrong... and so was I... ;_; )

Well, at least they did a good job fixing the Mori and the maps look nice, I might just save up some shards...

Maybe, perhaps make her speak a mix of Portuguese... AND Japanese... Maybe have her say some weeaboo Anime stuff like, "Omai wa..." "Shine!!!" or "Nani?" While at the same time having her curse or complain in Portuguese after getting stunned or something, you know, like Trickster, except not Korean...

    Killers with voice lines or laughing elevate the experience both as Killer and Survivor in my opinion.

    If bHVR added voice lines and laughs to Skull Merchant that would make her SO GREAT imo.

    Trickster is a good example of talking and laughing. Wesker is just good at talking trash at Survivors, hes the best.

    I feel the exact opposite - voice lines are annoying and worsen the experience greatly.

    The only one I tolerate is Nemesis's "STARS" because he only says it in two very specific scenarios, and only against specific characters, which makes it feel a bit more special.

    Killers constantly chattering is annoying as hell and lessens the atmosphere.

    At the very most, give her muffled grunts

    Like kenny from south park or pyro from tf2

    I am not sure why, but her saying "Let's begin" in a sultry whispery dark voice I would want.

    I find voice lines for killers to be annoying. Trickster's is the only one I can tolerate because it's actually entertaining. If the killer is constantly chattering (like Wesker and Pinhead), it can get very annoying.

    I'm always against adding voice lines. I dont like them. Ideally only Pinhead keeps his. The others are annoying and I'd disable them instantly if I had an option to.

    They changed some camera angles and I believe the pacing. It seems faster and its easier to look at now. The 'blade to the back' part didnt change

    Ahh

    The camera angle is pretty far tho like the area has to be REALLY clear of stuff for the camera not to get stuck in something

    I'd be okay with voice lines if she was not a poorly written dumpster fire.


    Voice lines are repetitive and get in the way a lot of the time. Wesker is a rare exception. The Skull Merchant is simply not a well designed nor robust enough character to warrant expression, especially not any more so than the growing roster of other more fitting candidates for voice lines.

    Yes, hopefully some popular quotes from Brazilian dark mangas.

    I wouldn't mind, I've warmed up to the idea ever since Wesker made it into DBD. If they do them similar to Tricksters, im all in for it.

    Maybe add voice lines but Jin-Woo Hak is the main killer with actual voice lines because he was a pop-star I don't know but maybe her little tracker should speak like "Target Detected" or someone else that sends the drones.
