Playground Games has confirmed that Fable’s 1,000 NPCs are voiced by real actors, not AI text-to-speech.
According to the studio, around 100 actors were cast to bring the game’s “Living Population” to life, with every NPC fully voiced.
Developers said they recorded “tons and tons of dialogue” and said that all voices in the game come from human performances.
The game features more than 150,000 lines of dialogue and over 1,000 handcrafted NPCs, with multiple recording studios working in parallel for more than 1,000 hours this year alone.
