Need better voice preview when creating characters

When one creates a character it should be possible to hear the voice of a new toon when fighting, using break-free, falling and riding. As it is now, it's almost impossible to guess how the voice of a toon will sound like during battle.

I spent like 5000 crowns on getting the right meow for my Khajit, and now I must prb do the same with my new wood elf. Voice is important. It ruins immersion to hear a lady with one hell of an ugly voice. This will not do. Request fix please.

    Yeah, this one has bit me more than once. I usually just end up having to live with it, but it's still annoying.

    Not only the voice, the height too, you have no size comparison for the other races.
    Groupfinder:
    The worst part is when it finally puts you in a group, your healer turns into a werewolf, your tank has 14k HP and the dps is heavy armor, using a restro staff and a two handed sword on the backbar. Then comes the 15 minute penalty before the cycle starts anew.

    • The second rule of Morrowind is: You do not talk about Morrowind.
    • Third rule of Morrowind: Someone yells NDA stuff, uploads images, streams, the game is over.
    • Fourth rule: only invited players can test.
    • Fifth rule: one invite at a time, fellas.
    • Sixth rule: crying or bashing on pts.
    • Seventh rule: NDA will go on as long as they have to.
    • And the eighth and final rule: If this is your first invite at Morrowind, you have to play.

    And some new default voices, too.

    There seem to be about 4 worthwhile ones. The rest were taken from a microphone placed in the ZoS breakroom after someone moved a low coffee table corner right by the entry door.
    Just because you don't like the way something is doesn't necessarily make it wrong...

    I agree it needs not only a better preview, but better voices and more choice.

    I would for instance wish they would alter that sissy screaming voice when the dude is falling.

    Such a contrast with the rest :lol:
    If he yells like that just from falling, he should die from fall damage to keep his honor!

    I would pay more than 5k crowns if my characters could finally stfu. The amount of epic grunting, screaming and moaning ruins any immersion.

    This is how I ended up with a tiny Dunmer that people make fun of me for.

    They also recorded the staff clubbing each other, by the sound of it.

    They sell voices?

    I feel like the voices became more prominent recently. Was this part of some update, or did I just not notice it at launch?

    And what i forgot, if you create a char, there should way to save the template.
    In ME2 theres a unique string on creating, ESO would need some kind of folder or local var saving into the profile.

    "They sell voices?"

    Yes, you can change voice and look in the store, for 1k crowns.

    Wonder how much money ESO has earned on voice changes so far.

    Trying out the different voices, and clicking one of them until u have been through all the laughs and grunts, doesn't help, unless you are lucky.

    It's mainly a problem when you try to create a female character. It's like ESO deliberately wanted the large majority of voices to be ugly. Did they outsource the job to a drunk baglady in Mongolia?

    No one has any idea how right the OP is.

    Frankly I find it odd that character voices are so poorly supported in a game with so much excellent npc voice acting all over the place.

    It would be nice if the voice testing could be done in such a way that you test the voices purpose such as fall damage, injury damage, laugh, etc instead of random picks.

    I learned the hard way with my warden healer who looks all dainty and cute, but her battle cries could give King Jorunn a run for his gold, so now I test voices and general character creation on the PTS beforehand :sweat_smile:
