Hey yall. I was watching some HC WoW streams and almost everyone is using the Voice AI addon that vocalizes all the quest and dialogue box text. I think this is a simple (from the user perspective) way to improve the immersion of the game and also great for those who need more accessibility options.

My question for you is about how practical this would be for Intrepid to implement this into their own game (seeing as this game will not be allowing addons). Is it a matter of price? A matter of time? Maybe it would expand the file size of the game too much?

I don't know much about the new AI tools, but it seems like a somewhat simple and easy process where maybe each NPC has a couple parameters, like gender, accent, age, and then as you interact with the NPC the dialogue gets generated into an audio clip for you to listen to. Also, I assume you could license one of these tools from another company to save time and resources in generating your own AI tool.

Let me know your thoughts. Cheers.
