QUEST VOICES 1.11
By Von Djangos


Description:
ElevenAI generated voices for quest-giving NPCs in Morrowind. Works with openmw.

Currently adds around 270 original lines of voiced dialogue.

These are mostly just around custom greetings around introducing themselves or asking on the status of your current quest. 

They're all trained on the original voice actors, so its 'vanilla friendly' ai, if that's such a thing.

There's some fun easter eggs like Guide Guide dialogue lines or custom idles for some NPCs too.

Cleaned with tesame.

Unfortunately their distinctive voice patterns are cleaned or 'ironed out' by the AI, which mistakes them for artifacts or background noise. 

FAQ:
Aren't AI-generated voices robotic/static?
They are over longer dialogue lines - when you put multiple phrases together. For short barks or a couple of sentances, with enough 'rerolls' and enough variance in the emotional output, you can get some stunning results.

Any tips for using ElevenAI?
1. When loading in your 50 samples, try to use the longest samples possible. Arrange the list by filesize, and be creative. Training the Breton Male voice will work better using the Chargen class questions than the standard greetings.
2. Keep the sentances short - the longer you try and run a dialogue block, the more likely it will either sound mad (too much tonal variety) or robotic (too monotone)
3. Pull the stability slider down to something like 20-25%, and get ready to reroll around 20 times to get a strong recording. Pretend you're a film director, and say 'I think we got it!' when you nail a take.

These results are scarily good. Is AI going to take my job?
Probably, but until that happens, let's enjoy a whole new phase of voice-acted modding in Morrowind.
