Err...someone explained it to me before...it's a Morrowind spin on the Seattle saying "Cold enough for ya!?" (I really don't get it, but that's what the guys said...); I think "cold enough for ya" is had enough of this cold? like sarcasm...so "seen any elves lately" is sarcastic as MW is crawling with them...I think that was it...

I'm gonna try and do some custom responses for my guy. I will only do about fiveor ten, I'm a quiet guy in RL, so it is a reflection of that.
"With all this doomy sentiment around Helios Keep, it's a wonder I stay in business."
"Hey, you found the murderer yet?"
"Good morrow to thee, denizen."
"I see that you are in need of a good blade, my friend. Please, have a look around."
"The Keep seems gloomy with all this business of murder, eh?"
"How's about a nice new set of boots, yours look like they've been to High Rock and back!"
I didn't want to just copy the default responses, any chance I could get a yea or nay on these?

mmm if I get a little insight on the characterization of Hyrio, I might come up with some sample stuff... as of now, I know he's going a trainer of sorts, but I want to have something better than "you mave much to learn, grasshopper"...

Lol well something like that. Maybe like Mr. Miyagi or Yoda haha. I'd say a sensei, tough, mysterious, very calm, wise etc. Beyond that, I dunno whatever sorta character you want to put in him for an old Akaviri sensei.

Cali needs to be congratulated on her noble recording effort (I listened to all the files!). One thing I did notice was a fair bit of "background hum", but I imagine that is something SkyDiver could easily remove.

yes, I can remove the background hum.
However......
for those of you who have started or plan on recording, take a listen before you send it to me in case there are any wild consonants going on.
What do I mean by that? LOL...it's when you get that loud "explosion" through the mic when you say certain consonants, like c, b, p, t, and sometimes even an h.
There are a few files that I've already heard that have this, and there's really nothing to do in the post-processing to get rid of that except delete part of the sound wave, and then the word just sounds weird.
some ways to prevent this:
1. Hold the mic either off to one side of your mouth, or below your mouth, a little farther away.
2. Think about what you're saying and try to make those problem consonants "softer" when you're speaking. Often just thinking about it makes it go away. For example, I had a huge problem recording the word "healer" for some reason, and for that one I just pretended the h wasn't there. Yeah, it sounds a little like "eeler", but it's better than all that noise.
If you've already sent me stuff and I hear some of those, the only fix is to re-record it.
I will get back to those of you who have already sent me stuff with a list of anything that might need to be re-recorded.
In general, though, I think what I've received so far sounds great, and I love the variety it will add to the game!

Try audacity from audacity.sourceforge.net/ - it's a very reasonable editor / recorder with plenty of effects and the option to download an mp3 codec and an addon for VST plugins.

What skydiver said is good advice. I presume there's a recording engineer lurking somewhere in that brain.
My only recommendation is to hold the mic in front of your nostrils when you speak, about 6 inches (yes I do this stuff almost everyday, I work at a low budget recording place where I live)- this cuts down on the popping and thats what professionals do...
If you have it, use compression on it, it will keep the bass under control and provide a nice warm result.
I know that alot of ppl dont have tube preamps and mixing boards, so just use a little ingenuity (like Motoki using headphones as a mic to record- you can too).
You can use the windows sound recorder btw, it came with what you have in front of you now. play with the input stage a little, make sure you can hear it well- and dont worry about a little background hum (which is caused by your monitor being in close proximity to the mic when its recording- turn it off when you hit RECORD). That stuff can be fixed with a noise gate attuenated to the wave or your sound file later on, AKA mixing. thanks and good luck to anyone who has to resort to tricks and duct tape, hehe. ;D
