Man, something about the voice mixing is off.
Had all audio settings at 2, for a long time wasn't even sure voices were working until heard a very faint whisper during one of the scenes.
Then left music and system/soundeffects/whatever the 2nd option is at 2 and increased all the voices to ~70%. Once again, when you do the guild recruitment introduction scene some voices were very faint and were getting drowned by the music (which was only on 2 btw), while some random voices lines were really loud.
I don't know if this is MTool screwing things up, or some voices are tied to the system/soundeffects/whatever the 2nd option is slider as well...
