Voiced dialogue

Inputs

• Exact dialogue text and speaker records.
• Quest, topic, INFO, conditions, voice types, and response order.
• Voice-generation tool and model permissions.
• Target audio format and subtitle policy.

Workflow

1. Author dialogue records with skyrim-plugin-authoring and scripts with skyrim-papyrus-modding.
2. Resolve the final voice folder from the plugin name and voice type.
3. Generate normalized source audio, then the required XWM/FUZ and LIP assets using pinned tools.
4. Keep line IDs and filenames deterministic.
5. Verify every INFO has the intended conditions, flags, response text, and audio path.
6. Provide a silent voice fallback when the design requires subtitle timing.
7. Check conversation flow, interruption, priority, repeated lines, and save reload.
8. Document synthetic voice provenance and permissions.
