Spoken Russian Audio: Gossip

This is the Russian audio pack for NPC gossip — the chatter you get when you talk to someone without a quest to hand in — voiced in Russian.

Innkeepers, guards, faction quartermasters and the rest saying their piece out loud, in the same voices they use for quests. Purely extra: it adds nothing to a quest you were already hearing, and it costs nothing to skip.

You need the player and the quest pack for any of this to work:

1. Spoken Player — the player. Without it no pack plays.
2. Russian Spoken Quests — the quest dialogue.

The packs

Voiced with care

• Voices fit the character, not just race and gender: a dwarf warrior and a dwarf official don't sound alike.
• A narrator reads quests from objects such as wanted posters, and stage directions like <Advisor Belgrum opens the note.>
• Sounds are performed, not spelled out: *hic* is a hiccup, not "asterisk hic asterisk".
• Names and places are pronounced right, from a pronunciation dictionary.
• A more natural performance throughout.

Contributing

Bugs. Something wrong with a line, a wrong voice, a mispronounced name or a broken quest? Press the bug button on the subtitle or the window while the line plays. It hands you a short link to that exact line; the page has the text, the audio and a form.

Missing lines and corrections. When Spoken has no voice for something on screen, it shows a Contribute button that hands you a link carrying the game's text; open it and press Send. Or turn on Gather missing lines automatically in the settings, play as usual, then upload SavedVariables/SpokenContributions.lua at spoken.rusty.one/contribute. Text that reads wrong can be corrected the same way. Nothing leaves your game until you send it yourself.

Code. The addon is open source on GitHub: issues and pull requests are welcome.
