Demira✭✭✭Please dont change the voices from the bankers, NPC, Quest Givers ETC ...its one of the factors of making the stories come alive for me in ESO!2 -
Pele✭✭✭✭✭Angier Stower's dialogue has already been shortened.
BTW, do you know the old saying, "Neither a borrower or lender be?" Rubbish. Without borrowers or lenders, how would we ever be able to buy and sell anything?0 -
Maotti✭✭✭✭✭
✭I agree, this is a change that should not happen, or at least make it toggleable if you're so bent on implementing this!
Please Zenimax, just please take a look at this thread!Edited by Maotti on July 12, 2014 12:59PMPC EU2 -

✭✭Are they removing it? Did I miss something....?
Why would something so important like voice acting in an MMO be removed? Don't tell me that once again a vocal minority had a problem with this, its getting ridiculous lately with their demands.0 -

I wonder what the next thing is, disabling vanity pets and daedra summons in cities? Pathetic if that's gonna happen.PC EU1 -
Totally agree. However... I *would* be ok with them shutting the bankers up. Like forever. Having to completely exit out of the menu every time you want to look at your bank / guild bank / guild store drives me a little nuts.
Deposit materials into bank:
"Auri-El knows I'm here to serve. What can I do for you?"
Withdraw stuff from guild bank:
"Auri-El knows I'm here to serve. What can I do for you?"
Realize you missed something from your inventory to deposit:
"Auri-El knows I'm here to serve. What can I do for you?"
Do a little shopping at the guild store
"Auri-El knows I'm here to serve. What can I do for you?"
You can shut up. That's what you can do for me.
Other merchants, though? Leave 'em. A lot of them are quite funny and entertaining, and you don't use them nearly as much as the bankers.

✭✭✭✭I'm confused. What is the problem? Nothing is removed, they still say their lines. If you want to hear them, just wait a few seconds before opening the store/bank. Surely it's not a problem for someone who cares about NPC stories. I know it won't be for me.
Or am I missing something?0 -
Firestar_✭✭✭I think it would be awesome to mute ONE NPC banker for each side in the game. During the Bank of Daggerfall days, I ran ALL of my little bank alts out to Bangkorai just so they would have short NPC dialogue and be far, far away from Angier Stower. I think that would be awesome.Edited by Firestar_ on July 12, 2014 1:37PMFirestar - Imperial Templar - Ebonheart Pact

I beseech you ZOS, PLEASE leave this alone! This is one of the few immersive RPG's on the market that allow the NPC's to continue playing their dialogue while you browse and I LOVE IT!
The problem is trhat you hear the saying comments ad infinitum, if there was a greater degree of variety we wouldn't want the NPCs to shut up.
I am personally extremely fed up about hearing that a stranger saved King Casimir's life, or that the "Bad Man is Dead". Giving us the players a "shut the NPCs up" button in settings would help an awful lot.Edited by AlexDougherty on July 12, 2014 1:59PMPeople believe what they either want to be true or what they are afraid is true!

Adrastes✭✭✭some comments from passing guards or soldiers are gold. i have pretty much just saved whole tamriel and these guys stroll past and say something like: "if you want to get rid of 10 pounds ugly fat i'll be happy to cut your head off". made me first be like wtf before i burst in to laugh.

Vanathi✭✭✭Agreed, please do not nerf NPC dialogue.... except maybe the ranser dude. I COMPLETED THE DAMN QUEST QUIT SAYING RANSER MADMEN ALREADY."M'aiq was told to stay away from Oldgate. This confused him. M'aiq remembers when it was called Gate." M'aiq The Liar0 -

✭+1 Agree, I like when the NPC talk and I can do my work (use the UI system) at the same time.0 -
Sensesfail13✭✭✭✭I agree, I absolutely love the voices and random chatter around the world, the voice capabilities of npc's are the only sounds I didnt mute in game. I think they could be toned down a notch so they arent spouting the same sentences off every 5 seconds but I enjoy the voice overs in this game, and thats a first for me in any RPG.Wisherr, Dragonknight, Haderus, NA Server.

MonkeyAssassin24✭✭✭All the denizens of Tamriel, unless they are of higher military rank or highly respected royalty, should ONLY SPEAK WHEN SPOKEN TO! I'm tired of these worthless peons thinking they can talk to one such as I, the great Hero of Tamriel, Savior of Nirn, with their dreary and useless stories of gossip and rabble. They should be honored to have one such as I even consider selling my items of plunder to them.On second thought, let's not go to the forums. 'Tis a silly place.1 -
Kayira✭✭✭✭The easiest would be having it as an option under gameplay. So you can keep it on or silence them if you like. Sometimes they annoy me too especially when it is a bank npc.0 -
Dekkameron✭✭✭✭✭Did you hear? Some stranger saved King Casimir's life!
Do you know who the stranger was? I'd like to buy that hero an ale!

✭Just make it an option. Some of us don't find questing to be a grind, and are actually here for the story. But sometimes I do read and answer an NPC prematurely, I'd hate to lose the rest of the dialogue from premature adjudication!Edited by ThePonzzz on July 12, 2014 4:10PM1 -

I don't mind cruising around with nuzhimeh, will even go through the occasional delve or quest with her hanging around...

teiselaise✭✭✭Can't zos just give us both? Just have a toggle in the settings like we had a hide helmet in there. Also, I honestly think it's gonna sound like crap if they just cut mid sentence when you enter the bank/shop/whatever:

✭✭✭The real comparison is:
irl
I hear the constant background drone of life, but hear nothing of the mundane only the limited conversations I wish to hear
in game (atm)
I hear, repeatedly, the banal that has been recorded, when I only really need to hear the conversations I am interested in (quest dialogue)
irl
we can even hold conversations and not really hear any of it!
cannot do that with sound on in a game
