Will there be a voice over for the text of the RPG element throughout the game? I could see this being cool as part of the theme, like you could get Andy Serkis to do a voice over for the Goblin race. Please add a voice over for the RPG elements, that would be really cool to hear your race voice as you play. You can make it sound good or evil depending on your affinity choices.

Also, what about being able to play a video at the end of the game where all the choices and everything you did in the game played back to you as a book was being read to the player, (also a good place to have the voice actor play back your experience) also it would be like a story book played back as a reward of how things turned throughout the game, I can see this feature being especially helpful for future games like AoW 5 could be a continuation of so said book telling RPG game like a part 2 or something.

A book would be great, but what I would also love is what Civilization games do: a simplified replay of main game events.

There were voiceovers over researched skills in Planetfall, so I wouldn't be surprised. A really nice touch.

She missed her calling in silent film.

I loved the campy syndicate voice and the beefcake vanguard one, but I get the feeling voice overs are a lot of work for these and doing them badly is worse than not doing them.

#

If they were excited about doing it, that's one thing. But I don't think it's something I'd ask for for the sake of it.

I believe the devs mentioned there will be voiceovers (english only) during the story realm missions.

I wonder if announcers for things like "your spell is ready" and "enemy unit killed" will return

#

I will imagine they will be per Culture if they do

They could just use the AI that just gained popularity, spend like two-three mandays on it and generate great voicelines. Would be a possibly marketable point as well.

I would rather they keep their hired voice actors, if any

Nah, AI is not good enough for voiceovers yet, you need to tweak and retry too much to get acceptable results and you will never get good results. Maybe in a few years, but not now.
The only game I know where people liked TTS and even demanded it back after it was replaced by human voices is Offworld Trading Company, but that's because the TTS voice was a placeholder and was deliberately extremely bad, which some found funny and amusing in its own way

You just need a good-enough sample
