Did they fix the robotic voice?

When you change the pitch, is it still robotic? Thanks

Yes. I wouldn't expect that to change anytime soon. Making pitch-changed voices sound natural is possible, but more difficult than one might expect - you can't just pitch-change the whole recording, you have to selectively pitch-change some sounds but leave others alone. This requires more time and effort than the developers are probably capable and/or willing to spend at this point, especially since there are lots of game-breaking bugs to fix and the focus seems to be on the upcoming console releases anyway. They must be aware of the problem, but if they _are_ willing to fix it, then that task is probably near the bottom of a very long to-do list.

I think for the moment, the best course of action is to use the default pitch and simply ignore that the pitch-change option even exists.

That sucks… I already finished the game as regular pitch Gryffindor good character and wanted to do a second playthrough with a deeper pitched voice Slytherin Dark Arts character lol

IMO the higher voice pitched option is worse than the deeper one, it feels way more robotic on a regular basis than the deep one does.

fixed for me. I just put the slider in the middle and quit caring

Yes I play on deepest voice and don't even notice it.
