He should at least scream molten core in swedish or something…

I hope it would be added at the same time frame as Mercy’s old ult voiceline being added

I thought Swedish and broken English were the same thing

By the way, what’s “Molten Core” in Swedish?

Rein, Torb and Hanzo don’t speak their respective languages (apart from Hanzo’s ultimate line), but that’s why they tried to redeem themselves with Mecry, Brigitte and Genji. Next hero: A Brazilian who actually speaks Portuguese.

“Smält kärna” is molten core in Swedish.

Mercy doesn’t speak Sweedish, she speaks German, I don’t even think it’s Swiss German she’s speaking either.

You should read more carefully next time. :slight_smile: I said Rein, Torb and Hanzo don’t speak their respective languages (German, Swedish and Japanese), so that’s why they tried to redeem themselves with Mercy, Brigitte and Genji (who speak German, Swedish and Japanese respectively).

Also Pharah doesn’t speak Egyptian but her mother does. Sombra does. Doomfist & Orisa don’t. Torb doesn’t. Widowmaker & Zarya do. Symmetra just had a ton of lines in her language added! :smiley: Mei, Mercy, & D.Va do. And Brigitte does thankfully. Even Moira does. Lucio & Rein don’t. The rest are australian, British or American I think. They added weird Australian slang to the aussies so i guess that counts haha.

Unfortunately, it seems they may have learned their lesson, but it’s too late for Lucio, Reinhardt & Pharah because I bet none of them can speak those languages. Though it would be awesome if the voice actors could work w/ someone who is fluent in those languages and a native to just record a handful of lines. It adds depth and spice to the game to me personally. Lucio especially bothers me because his story is all about the Favelas and stuff. :frowning:

Yeah, I wanna hear Torb yell “Smält kärna!”

But, after I think about it, since they are living in the future It would be correct for them NOT to speak their language of origin. The world now is changing, less people are speaking their native language. It’s a harsh but somehow correct. But still, back to the point, Torbjorn screaming “Smält kärna!” would be cool

Actually, we are planning to add some Portuguese voice lines for Lúcio in the future!
