Guild Wars 2

Here is something that would be Awesome.
But would absolutely require a Filter.

When using /say not only does it appear in chat and balloons.
But have the character “speak” as well using Text to Speech.

To make everyone’s voice different at Character Creation, you could have a few dialect selections for each race and then some tuning dials.

Then have it so it alters what you type into the way the given race would speak it.

We had a text to text Altering toy in an old MMORPG Text Based Game called
a Multi-User-Dungeon the M.U.D. was RealmsMud.

You could purchase a “talker” for instance and when used it would alter what you would say and make you seem Scottish.

As the filter works so instead of a four letter curse word it would say something like, “Ya bleedin kitten.”. However it did not just alter curse words it would turn anything you said into a Scottish dialect.

Anet could even honor the recently dead Cromarty Fisherfolk Dialect by having some Humans speak using it.

However each race does speak differently so if you were to curse and your an Asura it would say, “Goodness my ears!”.

And to activate your speech it could cost like 1000 Gems, thus making it worth Anet’’s time to design it. Could also toss in a Dialect change for 1000$ as well.
