Mute NPC Voice Dialog Response

Community General Discussion

Anyone know of a way to mute/disable the NPC voice dialog response when you click on a quest-giver, vendor, etc? I’m aware of the sound option that allows you to uncheck “Dialog” but unfortunately that disables ALL voice sounds including player emotes and quest/story dialog.

I think this sound design came from the Warcraft series. Whenever you clicked on a unit, it would recite a line, which also became annoying after a few clicks. At least in Warcraft 3, there was a “Disable Unit Response” checkbox in the sound options that didn’t disable voice dialog altogether.

I’m just tired of hearing the same old “GOOD DAY TO YOU!”, “HAVE A GOOD ONE!” lines from 15 years ago every time I interact with an NPC. Especially when the dialog is completely out of place like when there’s a big battle or where NPCs are dying or running around on fire or something. It sounds ridiculous.

I couldn’t seem to find an addon that would mute/disable NPC voice dialog specifically. I also didn’t see anyone else talking about it on the forums. Do those 15-year-old lines we’ve heard thousands of times not irritate anyone else?

“be Quiet” not sure if it works on quest givers tho. Works great on wq’s tho.

Thanks for the suggestion, Trinity. I believe BeQuiet only works for talking heads. :smirk:

Did you find a way to mute NPCs? I just started Zaralek Cavern and the Jar Jar Binks helper is the most annoying toon. I don’t want to keep the whole game on mute.

There’s a dialog toggle in sound setting. Try turning that off.
