I heard this had been fixed in Oblivion but apparently it wasn't.

My other major grips with Morrowwind was the really awful UI. I can hardly believe anyone put up with it, and I've heard the UI for Oblivion is worse still!

IMO It's amazing what gamers will put up with...
Ah, but in Morrowind the voice was just garnish. It was merely a standard greeting for that kind of character. Actual conversations were in text. In Oblivion the whole of every conversation is in voice. You cannot avoid it! Just think on that, and then think about what this means for the "Radiant AI" NPC conversations!
