I was revisiting the game this last few days and I'm again awestruck by just how insane this game can be in terms of having voice packs and skins for an enormous amount of characters from many different places. Not only from games but films and series. Not to mention mods for weapons, enemies and others.
I mean, I went on a mission with a following squad one time: HK-47, GLaDOS, Shodan, EDI, Legion and 2B. All had voicepacks, all were saying stuff as I went through the mission that would put a massive smile on my face.
The lounge on my Avenger is basically one big reunion of characters from all manners of stories and universes. And a lot of them have voice packs that give an immense sense of personality and authenticity to them. It feels like this immense celebration. And it's not just voice packs, you have an infinitue of mods that change skins as well:
I can go on a mission with the Gang from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and hear Dennis screaming about the implications. I can have Cate Archer and Max Payne fighting side by side. Bastila and Shepard. Jill Valentine and Jason Bourne. And so on.
It's just incredible and fun and joyful.
Make an exercise. Think of a character from a game and give it a look to see if there is a voice pack available. You might be surprised.
To finish, I should point out that this is only really possible because XCOM2 is an incredible game. It's fun and exciting to play because of that, and these mods I'm thinking of are purely cosmetical. And if it wasn't as incredible a game as it is I doubt there would be such a loving community making wonderful mods out there.
Thank the gods for XCOM2 and everybody that worked on these mods.
