Paisan™ 642 Posted December 4, 2016 Do you think Claude should have had a voice? How different would it have been? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Helegad 834 Posted December 4, 2016 (edited) Rockstar has said they deliberately left Claude mute to focus their creative resources on things other than a main character with personality. Paraphrasing, but that was it. The story would be quite different. Claude would need to have reasons to do the things he does; as it is he's sorta just dumb muscle doing work for people higher up in the hopes they'll lead him to Catalina, or so it seems. It always bugged me that he just watched Catalina and Miguel talking to Curly Bob from a distance, instead of busting up their little party. Salvatore would have made him on the spot.

Coops95 76 Posted December 13, 2016 No, a simple dangerous man taking orders and doing them without a word coming out makes a very rememberable and unique character in it's own way especially the way he walks. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stef_92 918 Posted December 13, 2016 It always bugged me that he just watched Catalina and Miguel talking to Curly Bob from a distance, instead of busting up their little party. Salvatore would have made him on the spot. Yes, me too. Also he spares their lives for a second time on the construction site. So much missed opportunities. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Prasdana21 183 Posted December 13, 2016 I don't think so. As 3 users above me stated, the story would be different (albeit still in a same content). I think Claude is perfect as a "Silent Killer". 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr_Human_Guy 165 Posted December 15, 2016 His inability to speak actually adds to his character if any thing. I like to go over what claude sounds like in my head and I like to think he sounds alot like Bobcat Goldthwait 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think he’d ask like “So what do you need/want me to do?” It would also make cutscenes livelier (like w/CJ). For example, I’d love to have heard Claude and Ray argue in “Plaster Blaster.” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yinepi 1,356 Posted July 14 No. Lack of voice makes him unique. I'd rather not have a claude creaming about getting shot. That's just irritating after awhile. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil empire 2,518 Posted July 14 It would have been cool to hear him speak like Tommy Vercetti. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KGBeast 707 Posted July 14 Best thing about Claude is that he doesn't run his mouth nonstop. Mr. GTA Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lioshenka 984 Posted July 15 (edited) A. Yes, he should have B. It's good that he didn't. It made a great game. Edited July 15 by Lioshenka 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DJ-Jelly-Doughnut 62 Posted July 17 I like that he didn't. He was very reserved. Niko was about on the same page as Claude as far as being vocal goes. Niko got his point across.. but not in a way that's overly vocal. Now that I'm playing GTAO (my 'parents' are Claude and Misty) I have found it very awesome that my character doesn't speak either. Makes it much more of an homage to Claude. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Limefong 242 Posted August 11 Claude doesn't need a voice, all he needs to is end his ex-girlfriend's life. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
universetwisters 33,297 Posted August 12 I like him without the voice. He's like a cat, you never know what he's thinking. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kierolack666 228 Posted August 13 (edited) I like it better when he is silent. It fits him so well. If they gave Claude a voice, I probably would sigh a bit in disappointment. Especially if he starts asking "What's a paladin?" or starts saying "Great! I can't wait to bomb some Dodongos!". Yeah... I think it's better to leave Claude silent...

Blasteddotz 12 Posted August 19 claude silence adds to his character as a dangerous man, but i think it would be cool if he has a voice with a slightly heavy tone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Palacios007 203 Posted August 20 Maybe if GTA III was a newer game, I'm sure R* could have figured out a lot of ways to make him express something without talking. A character in any form of art can express something just by the way he looks, talks, walks, acts, etc. But in a 2001 game, it's very hard to see all these representations. So, let's say GTA III is PS4 release, I would have loved to see a mute Claude by today standards. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Copcaller 623 Posted August 22 Nah suppose the va sucked or he was too "whiny". I like Claude as a strong silent killer who will do any job as long as it pays. Although now that everyone mentions it it is a plot hole why he didn't kill catalina while tailing the leone rat. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Donnie IKID 67 Posted August 24 In the eyes of an revolutionary perspective of blowing away millions of people around the world with its 3D sandbox, why the hell would we need this hired grunt to have a 'voice'. That would just take away the idiosyncratic traits of this guy. Heck, I would've not minded him retaining his 'Fido' nickname as his main identifier. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StraightouttaNewport 22 Posted August 25 Nah I love him just as he is. A remorseless killer who doesn't speak a word. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
