Rick and Daryl grunts and screams are not bugged and they're really bad.

Not gonna lie on the PTB I feel like we all thought they were placeholders but its actually so bad I wouldn't even consider buying Daryl, out of all actors you couldn't get Norman to do screams really? I feel like this was a massive blunder and its never gonna be fixed.

Really thought it was bugged and bhvr forgot to swap the PTB voice place holders, but its actually meant to be this way? seriously what is going on at BHVR at the moment? I find this almost inexcusable what a fumble.

BHVR stated that they're not bugged and its fully intended, kinda crazy how I didnt hear any outrage about this cause everytime I hear Daryl scream it's just embarrassing, Norman has done so many screams in "other" games… like seriously.

    I did 2v8 Ormond map last night, and one of them got hooked, and the scream volume was like triple the volume any other survivor screams. It felt very buggy, but I also love buggy DbD for comedic purposes.

    They need to find a better voice actor that are a better match or i cant find and reason to buy them. they are so bad currently.

    I think Daryl is actually bugged. If he's screaming repeatedly, like with Scene Partner, his screams are the loudest thing in the game no matter how far you are from him. I have a video of it but I just couldn't be bothered to upload it for a bug report.

    It's also pretty funny.

    They should record Rick's hook screams again it's just weird and low quality, amateur work… other healthy/injured sounds are actually ok, it's when you're hooked immersion is ruined, pls redo it

    I would have preferred a decent soundalike for both voicelines and screams, instead of this hodgepodge of actual actor with terrible screams.

    It's the coughing that annoys me - Rick and Daryl cough so much that it overlaps

    Daryl and Michonne I've both heard screaming in my ear as they're knocked down the other side of the map. They are definitely bugged in some way.

    True, this is consistently reproducible. Have daryl or michonne with scene partner and everyone will hear them scream all match. Rick is completely bugged and you don't hear his screams from a distance at all.

    @ the topic. Yeah they're pretty bad and i feel like the difference between the voice lines that they have and their grunts really take away from the immersion. Considering they got the actors to do the voice lines but not the grunts, they probably declined to do the grunts or it would cost them too much.

    Do you see a lot of Rick, Daryl or Michonne players?

    I don´t.

    Had a Daryl yesterday and the screams are still really odd.

    They are louder, strangely undirectional in som ekind and just sound strange to me.

    I would like to think that with the delay of Maggie they changed the grunts as well but sadly i highly doubt it.

    I bought them and almost never play them for that reason :-(

    Still haven't bought the dlc nor do I ever plan to, it is really poorly made which is a big shame.
