Voice Over

Speech is a feature currently undergoing testing in the game. Most often speech is used alongside text in the chatbox, such as when talking to an NPC, or the text that an NPC 'says' above their head. It was first introduced in-game on 21 April 2010 in the update Slayer Challenges, when voices where added to the (former) tutorial, Unstable Foundations. You can hear Sir Vant, a goblin and several other NPCs talk, along with the player.

The intention of Unstable Foundations was to receive player feedback based on the voices in the tutorial and expand speech to a certain amount of the game based on how players reacted to the update. The response to the voices in the tutorial have been fairly positive. Jagex is deciding on whether to put further speech into the game due to players' comments, but it is still being considered.

Trivia

 * Players also had a voice during the tutorial, which changed depending if the character was male or female. This has now been removed by Jagex. However, whenever your character is injured in the regular game you will hear an audible "augh". The same is also true when you do damage to a man or woman.
 * When Jagex released the Occult Floors for Dungeoneering, Yk'Lagor the Thunderous was released with a demonic voice.
 * With the release of the Ancient Prison, Nex is capable of speech, and was the voice that players heard when trying to open the frozen door prior to the release.
 * As of 10 January 2011, all God Wars Dungeon bosses now have speech.
 * The release of One Piercing Note introduced full voice acting for a quest. The quest along with its audio has been very well-received by players, and Jagex now has plans to introduce more voice acting in future content.ModLordPost.png comments on the use of Speech.]]
 * In early 2011, a poll was released to see if players would like voice chat for players to allow them to communicate with other players over a microphone. Although the results were mostly positive, no info has been heard about this actually being implemented into the game.
