suggestion: universal voice options/"no voice" option

I would love a no voice option. As i am mute and probably in a minority here with the op, but to me having a voice in game feels weird at times.
And adding a no voice option would not cause massive costs for another VA and development for extra voices like the other options would.

Edit: Also, it would be nice to have a few more voice options for races. Who's to say a Roegadyn male might be a bit soft spoken? Nothing outrageous mind you, but I do think a lot of the playerbase would like more voices in general.

its so weird to me that theres practically never a "no voice" option in any game that makes you choose a voice. itd be understandable if your character talked, but it most of those games characters just have combat grunts of some kind. adding a no voice option would require little work, allow players to have a quiet character if they wish, and allow mutes to be able to immerse themselves better in the game.
it sucks that i never get to experience that last one..

I'm in the other end of the spectrum, going for the most out of place voice I can. There are some deep Roegadame and Highlander lady options I would be all over.

There was a game that had a no voice option, even so far as to have other character's dialogue work around the fact the lead is mute, but I learned of it in the context that the mute option was cut from other languages since it was so much extra writing. I think it was an SNES game??

not sure which game you're referring to, but its a shame that didnt get added elsewhere

i just wanted to say thank you to the 1k+ people that looked at this thread. even if what i want isnt something most of you particularly care about im just glad there was enough interest for it to garner this many views.

And then you have this little gem...

While I wouldn't choose it myself, I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be an option.

I agree. I think this would be a perfectly fine thing to have.

I kinda do believe there should be more shared voices. I'd gladly trade away some of the awful Miqote voices for a couple of the good AuRa voices, for example.
