I just had a crazy idea...
I always wanted to have more interactions with NPCs and companions, like talking about some random stuff. But the problem is, and always will be, the voice acting.
For every possible reply by the NPC/Companion they need hire the voice actor again and record him/her.
But what about not using the voices but emotes instead?
If I salute Zerith-var he would respond with a random? emote (from a smaller selection) like humble.
If I play the lute Ember could start dancing?
If I give Mirri a drink she would start dancing drunk..
This would be easy? to implement since everything already exists in the game and I think it would add a little more fun to the game.
Or?
