What it does
CatQuest reads the quest text when you accept a quest and the reward text when you turn it in. It covers most level 1-60 quests that have text, including quests new to WoW Forever. Each NPC voice is chosen by race, gender and look.
Books, letters and plaques are read too. Enter a zone or subzone and its story plays on its own; a scroll by the minimap replays it.
A talking head window shows the speaker's 3D portrait, name and sentence-by-sentence subtitles. Audio goes through the game's Dialog channel, so the Dialog volume slider controls it. It is made for the Russian (ruRU) client and needs no setup.

FAQ
I installed a new voice pack but hear nothing. Why?
Close the game completely and start it again. A /reload is not enough for the client to see new sound files.
How do I change the volume?
The voice-over plays on the game's Dialog channel, so use the Dialog slider in the sound settings.
