Alcrin Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Really, a game's needs for speech generation isn't as complicated as a text-to-speech program. The hard part of a good text-to-speech program is interpreting the text to get the mood and tone of the words correct. Is the person speaking angry? Depressed? Scared? Context determines a lot of these things. A human designer can include prosodic information right there in the script, so the speech generator doesn't have to go through the trouble of figuring it out by itself. A potentially harder problem would be the fine-tuning of a person's voice: making it so that each NPC sounds different, but constricting the variables so you don't get anything inhuman-sounding.

NAPALM13092 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 (edited) Duke Roberto Francisco Bustimonte Lopez Garcia the Third..... or Bud for short. Seriously though I will likely make clones of my current characters but with all the new fancy bells and whistles of course. Raikov - Male Nord Ranger/Fighter (Chaotic Good)Lamina Axia - Female Imperial Nightblade/Assassin (Lawful Evil) Jerick Gelebor - Male Breton Healer/Monk (Lawful Good)Brontes - Male Orc Barbarian/Warrior (Chaotic Neutral)Galvon Telendras - Male Dark Elf Mage/Sorcerer (Neutral Evil)Shavari - Female Khajiit Thief/Acrobat (Neutral Good) A rather motley group of individuals thinking about making Raikov my main in Skyrim and the rest his dysfunctional band of companions. Edit: Easy enough to make them companions but them being silent with no entertaining banter is a real kill joy.

Nightwolfhunter Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Blast Hardcheese! Slab Bulkhead! Splint Chesthair! Big McLarge Huge! Well, likely I will have someone named Big McLargeHuge. As for serious names, i once had an Argonian brawler sort named 'Fought Six and Won'. He went by Six for short. someone on Youtube Had an Argonian named Dies in Mud which amuses me to no end. Khajiit--Jahnassi if female, Sri'boda or Rajhid if male Nord--Svorgen, Gerda, Vinja Dunmer--tyran, Radis, soren, Nevas those are the races I play most Reb Brown! sweet deal! I think I'll name SOMEONE Reb Brown. They will shout loudly as they fire their bow really fast without aiming, yet somehow killing everyone.
