[SUGGESTION] Turn off grunting, moaning, yelling and screaming

Bammlschwamml · June 29

More options in the settings would open up more options for workarounds (for existing problems and bugs) and would be a great quality of life improvement.

I prefer options. So I would want a slider that governed the frequency of the chatter and grunts.

I agree with this, for all sounds.

There are times I can barely hear what is going on in ESO. Other times, my brother can hear it from several feet away with the AC on and the TV going.

It would also be nice to be able to be in some areas and not have to listen to all the 'woo hoos!' and whatever other sounds that are constantly going on.

Especially if it weren't just an 'all or nothing' approach, where I could choose to tone down certain effects (such as the Anchor Sound/NPCs) while leaving other effects the same (or even making them louder if I wanted)

Do they still yell while fishing? Because I have been fishing twice lately (for the daily endeavor) and my character wasn't making any sounds at all. I thought they changed it, but then it rather seems to be a bug or maybe related to the personality I'm using?

On one hand, I'd claim no cause fighting is strenuous activity. But I'm also a hypocrite cause I installed a Silent Player Mod for Skyrim.

Well, mine all did during the scribing questline for the Netch. I don't use personalities, don't know about that.

I'll test it later. I suspect it's either the personality or one mod I've been using - I'll see what happens if I disable either.

Tested it, disabled mods and personality - funny thing, nothing changes. My character makes no sound, just nods complacently. Not sure if some mod has permanently overwritten a game file, but it is weird somehow, as I can remember the usual yelling while fishing from years ago (I hadn't fished for a long time since).

TaSheen · June 30

I had to disable sound completely to deal with it. Mine nod, but the vocals and maniacal laughter are there too. It's fine - I'm not really interested in a lot of vocal stuff, all I really have on is the music.

For all the reasons listed above I play with no sound the bulk of the time.

If there is an addon that can help with this problem I could not find it

Araneae6537 · July 20

I really like the voices of many of my characters, even if some of the things that incite a yell I would change, but their particular voice has become part of their identity.

But there are a few I really wish I had done further test runs with!

I'm very curious about the "real text" voice lines from the battlegrounds, btw. But I guess no one has uploaded them in a compact form anywhere?
