Please make all the voicesets, including the PCs able to have subtitles for consistencies sake. I really like the feature of TOBEX that enables this for some of the default soundsets. Anyone else like their voicesets subtitled now is the time to request it.

    Might as well go all-out in the requests :)

    Whose to say, they may actually do it.

    While they're at it, they might try to use Frank Welker's voice less. Sure he's a talented guy, but there's plenty of voice work to go around.

    This would be nice actually, particularly for the hearing impaired, though I wouldn't use it (I shut if off on every game I play and didn't like it in BG2), and it does seem like it might take a lot of work since the text isn't already in the coding. I like it though.

    Well they did it somehow for TobEX, I don't know if they typed it all out or just unlocked it. I guess what I want is an easy modular way to have soundset files and a subtitle file. The engine can recognize the subtitle file belongs to a particular soundset group and display them in game. Data driven if you will. Like you could have BrashHero wavs and then a BrashHero.srt file or whatever equivalent.

    Yep, this would be cool. I spent years of my BG experience thinking that one of the female voices was saying "I am Hera" in stead of "I am here". I ended up calling any female character with that voice set Hera to compensate.

    I think it's on by default from certain/all npcs anyway so why have something different for the PC?
