Actual speech linked to shouts and chants(Discussion)

In GW1, when you use you just hear a caption above the character. Why not hear that shout this time? It would vary from character to character, especially if characters get to choose their voices this time, like in Icewind Dale. If it's for a pet, it could have to be a loud animal roar instead.

Why this is a good idea
  •  Battle sounds won't be so bland.
  •  Option for a form of battle cry tactic, using shouts to distract opponents.
  • This would add realism to the game, and make your character more realistic.
Why it may not work out
  •  PvP opponents will know more easily what you're armed with.
  •  You can technically already hear Paragons' chants.
  •  Shout-heavy builds would become extremely annoying, which could even be exploited.
  •  Extra voice acting work may be required.
