We made an effort, in this episode, to sort of sidestep the normal/basic topics that often come up when NPC dialogue (or game dialogue in general) is discussed: being engaging, interesting, consistent for each character, etc.

Instead, thanks to an interesting conversation that Merrik Dragon had in the Shroud of the Avatar Discord channel, we went on a wild tangent about dialogue voiceovers. Apparently, some people think that doing VO for game dialogue is easy, with some arguing that it could even be crowdsourced.

So that’s a horrifying thought, and it prompted us to try and dispel at least some of the misunderstandings evident in such a view.
