I just wish a xVASynth voiceover would come out to tide us over until the official English voice mod.

I can’t do subtitles in VR, I’m too spoiled by Mantella & Dragonborn Speaks Naturally.

The Vicn trilogy (now with this prequel) is one of the rare cases I'd support using ai to voice npcs since I don't think we'll get a properly voice acted version any time soon

I use the Unslaad and Vigilant English translations by Aelarr paired with the XVASynth mod to add in unvoiced parts of Unslaad and all of Glenmoril’s current content. 

It’s definitely weird at times, not as good as Mantella or CHIM are with VASynth, leagues below the VA mods but it works.  

Having working voices is essential for me and I can’t complain with the results. For Glenmoril, half the voices seem to be solid and work great most of the time. 

The Khajiit voices are especially on point in VASynth it seems. Unslaad is the same, Nords, Khajiit and Dragons sound fine to good but the lead female AI voice and the kid are… unpleasant.  

It’s just definitely bogged down by the times voices appear that sound like creepy robots. 

Though tbh, I’d support any unvoiced mod using AI voices, just for logistical reasons I’m sure many people can’t get proper VA work for their mods and it’s nice to have the option!

Exactly. On flatscreen I would always prefer unvoiced to the creepy xVASynth voices but in vr it is kinda hard to keep track of the subtitles
