It's Going To Be Harder To Add Quests Naturally, since every NPC has 100% voiced dialog Options

[RobRendell]

A lot of mods that added quests to Morrowind would add additional dialog options to existing NPCs in the game, providing hooks into the new content.

It just struck me: with every line of dialog voiced by voice-actors, we're going to find it hard to put any additional works into existing NPCs' mouths. It'll be a bit jarring if your extra dialog is not voiced, but not as jarring as it'll be when the NPC's voice changes when they say your lines...

Is there any software out there that allows you to readily synthesise new speech for a given voice, if you can feed it enough samples of the voice you want mimiced?

I really hope there's a way to mimic voices for other races.

I'd love to see a bit more variety to the town guards, like at the

*SPOILERALERT*SPOILERALERT*

Big battle outside of bruma t'wards the end of the game.

And all of the guards are lined up outside behind Martin, its a bit of a drag that they're all imperials'. That's a perfect place to observe all the races of tamriel working together for the same cause, Argonian to Dunmer, Bosmer to High Elf,

It would have been cool, but the voice acting negates that interspecial dream.

And you couldn't make good enough mimics.

Ouch.

I'm interested to see how the first few mods with voice acting will fare for oblivion.

They'll probably lackluster and mediocre in their quality, yet, it's worth playing if only for the sake of a good laugh, at least we're making progress. Bethesda opened a whole new world of "Awww man" to the ES modding community.
