Can we please get voice chat?

Rather not see them waste time on this. Skype is infinitely better than any in game chat system I have used, and its available for free on anything from smart phones to tablets to pc to psvita and psp. Anything that requires voice chat people already will use their outside preferred method they are accustomed to anyway so it would be a waste except for a select few. I will stick with talking with who I want and only when I want to rather than having to listen to and mute every single person I come across in PF/DF.

Not sure you realise how in game voice chat works. It can be "on" or "off"...much like any other voice comm. The nice thing about it, is that it's there whenever the need arises.

And as I said before, once it's official it will be expected to be used by those who think you can't chat with a keyboard. If they start getting obstinate, be it about how the run isn't fast enough or you aren't doing your absolute best (in their eyes), then your options are to either mute them or silently put up with the harassment. Of course, if they get really fed up with you they can abuse vote kick. Right now they can still do the second thing but without voice chat you don't have to endure the preceding harassment for even one second. And yes, they can harass you over text but text is so much easier to ignore without lifting a finger.
