Neverwinter Nights 2: Text To Speech

It's not a huge thread but it's an interesting one from the perspective that there are those in the NWN community that would like to see -all- text vocalized. Erik Novales has chimed in a couple of times with regard to the issue:

If Text to Speech applications were really that viable, I'm sure Game Developers would likely use it instead of voice actors...

We use it internally for temp voice -- it's a good way to test code and estimate the overall impact on the game of running with voice, but it's nowhere near an acceptable quality level for shipping a game. Maybe in another 10 years or so.

Then again, maybe in the OC for NWN series, all the NPCs said the full conversation outloud too. I seem to remember they did in the downloaded content premium modules.

Actually, the original campaign did not have full voice. It was more like BG in that regard than KOTOR. The opening line for a character would usually be voiced, and, depending on the importance of the character, other lines might have voiceover as well.
