Bethesda Game Studios' Todd Howard during the Xbox Tokyo Game Show 2021 Online presentation revealed the upcoming science fiction RPG, Starfield, will have over 150,000 lines of dialogue from over 300 actors.
To compare, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim had 60,000 lines and Fallout 4 had 110,000 lines. While this doesn't indicate the size of the game, but with two and a half times the lines as Skyrim it should be rarer to hear the same lines repeated while playing through the game.
Starfield and Redfall will also have a complete Japanese localization with full voice acting.

Todd and the team at Bethesda Game Studios is definitely going all out for this title!!! No wonder it’s been in development since late 2015.
Can’t wait to get lost in this world!!!
This game is going to be huge, I can't wait to jump in!
I loved Fallout 3 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance and the Witcher 3. RPG's are great. But they're so much of a commitment that I find myself skipping great games like Fallout 4, Outer Worlds, Cyberpunk etc. because they're too much work.
I shall definitely be making time for Starfield, though.
If it helps, Outer Worlds is actually very short lol. I did several playthroughs on various difficulties, and on the easier difficulty, you can beat the main story in......5-6 hours. With side questions and companion quests, you'll be looking at 20 hours most.
I'll move it further up my list then :)
I used to be a space adventure like you, until i took a laser to the knee
Check how many lines of dialogue is in The Outer Worlds. In a Q&A with the developers, they said there was 420,000 words of dialog, including player lines, and approximately 600,000 words total, but I don't know if the term "words of dialog" is the same as "lines of dialogue"
Oh %&$#! That has to mean there's going to be spider webs on spider webs on spider webs of dialogue options on top of just dialogue in general throughout the story and quests within the game! God I can't wait!
RDR2 has 500,000 lines of dialogue, which is insane, followed by GTAV with 160,000. Starfield falls to number 3, but the most for an RPG.
Thats fucking nuts.
