Oblivion
Game Title: The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
Your name: Nicky Pelupessy
Pretty or ugly: Ugly
Description: This is an example of having a bad asset in your game. In this case, they didn't notice that this sample wasn't meant to be in the game. You can clearly hear the voice actress say: "wait a minute, let me do that one again".
This clearly takes a whole lot away from the experience, errors like this make you feel like you're actually in something that has been "created", you no longer feel emerged in the universe. Which is a shame, in my opinion.
Oblivion is a large game with many content, however, that is not an excuse for letting such an error to slip by. They should have spent a bit more time in going through all the sounds before they released the game!

In my opinion this is a brilliant example of the sound designer’s worst case scenario…
(And it’s very funny)
