It was a long time ago, so my memory is a bit hazy... There were definitely differences between NV Uly and LR Uly. Sadly I don't remember what those were. I don't think he was cut that late in development, though. Not a whole lot of work went into him yet at that point.

It has been a really long time. Interesting though. Were most of the major cuts early in development? I think I remember you mentioning the concept of a WW radio station voiced by the development team. Do you remember any other similar ideas or concepts that didn't make it in?

Oh, there's always stuff cut at every stage of development in every game. The WW Radio is what I'm the most familiar with since I designed it. A good chunk of locations were cut during production due to time constraints, but nothing along the crit path really.

Ah, good point. Ever since I heard you mention that, I've been sad WW Radio didn't make it in. Was it still in an early conceptual stage when it was cut, or had you already begun writting the dialogue? And if so to the latter, are there any memorable interactions you remember?

There were a bunch of other characters planned for it too. I just let the team come up with their own characters and have fun with it. Sadly that list isn't accessible to me anymore. Oh, and later on I found out the original Prey had the same concept :-)

I'm sad I'll never get to play the version of New Vegas voiced almost entirely by you and a few others. Was TempVO used so you could begin implementing branching dialogue, as it appears to be complex/time consuming, and then replace it once the lengthy recording process was done?

Oh, and as far as how long it took, FNV had A LOT of lines to record. I think I ended up doing temp VO for 70% of the game. It took me about 10-20 hours per week spent after work on my own time. I had a lot of fun doing it and gladly volunteered my time for it.

You mentioned you would've voiced the host of WW radio if you couldn't get Art Bell, but did you have you own character who would've called in as well?

Sort of... I was planning on using my temp VO voices for the commercials that would play in between callers. Like an ad for Mentats, Fancy Lads, and some other stuff. Oh, and an ad from a "Used Wind Brahmin Dealer".

Yeah I vaguely remember you mentioning that it would've been like the movie Rubber? Haha! Presumably the wind Brahmin encounter would've happened at the Brooks Tumbleweed Ranch? I know there's a Nightkin there that tries to sell the player a Wind Brahmin.

Oh, we were planning on having it happen anywhere. Just randomly spawning in the tumbleweed in the distance and letting observant players notice the pattern.

The more you tell me about WW radio, the sadder I get it was cut. :( You mentioned the list of WW radio characters isn't available to you anymore. Is that because you typically lose access to design documents when a game is finished? Or was it simply lost over time?

Well, I personally don't have access to the design doc since I'm no longer with Obsidian. I think a few characters were called out in it, but not a full list. I had most of that in my head and it would have gone into a spreadsheet if the feature moved forward.
