Spoken Quests Audio: All (meta package)
- By
Quest and gossip dialogue, voiced. Needs the Spoken Player and Spoken Quests to work. (Formerly Voiceover Redux)
Install this and get the lot. It holds no audio itself — it is a few kilobytes that pulls in all four sound packs as dependencies, so your addon manager fetches them for you.
You still need the player: Spoken Quests. That addon speaks the lines, the packs are the lines, and neither does anything alone.
The packs
| Pack | Holds | |
|---|---|---|
| All | installs the four below | this page |
| Alliance | Alliance-only quests | |
| Horde | Horde-only quests | |
| Shared Quests | quests both factions can take | |
| Gossip | NPC gossip chatter |
Most players want less than this. An Alliance character only ever hears Alliance + Shared Quests, a Horde character Horde + Shared Quests, and Gossip is optional chatter on top — so picking two packs saves a large download of dialogue your character can never reach.
Downloading the zip by hand gets you the stub and nothing else. Dependencies are something the CurseForge app and WowUp resolve; a manual download cannot. Install the four packs directly in that case.
Why the audio is split at all
A quest belongs to a side when its questgiver does: an NPC hostile to the Horde and friendly to the Alliance hands out Alliance quests. Givers who talk to both sides — the goblins in Booty Bay and Gadgetzan, and every other neutral hub — land in Shared Quests, so their lines play for everyone.
What this is
A rework of the original VoiceOver addon, which makes NPCs speak their quest text. Main changes:
- voices are matched per NPC flavor, instead of just race and gender, so a dwarf warrior and a dwarf official don't sound alike
- object quests are also voiced now, using a narrator voice
- stage directions (
<Advisor Belgrum opens the note.>) are read by the narrator - proper voicing of sounds —
<hic>produces the sound of a hiccup, not the word - tons of pronunciation fixes
- more natural-sounding performance
The audio is Ogg Vorbis rather than MP3 as of 1.2.0, which is most of why the packs are a fraction of the size they used to be for the same lines. Nothing was re-recorded.
