Summary0012308: Make certain bot voices occur less often
DescriptionI was playing a bit of the game and encountered an issue when, for example, traversing long hallways in retreat, or merely passing a lot of actions in a row to wait for the enemies to come to me.

Some of the bot voices, specifically the BatBot's "failed to move properly" voice, played a bit much. Given that particular bot's ineptitude at actually getting anywhere, pushing through a bunch of actions in a short timeframe either due to movement or waiting produced a slurry of "NOT THIS WAY"s that didn't enhance my experience.

Two possible tweaks:
1) You can only hear robots you can currently see. Might require adjustment for certain actions, like the stealth bots.
2) Non-attack related actions that happen frequently (failed move action, healing action, buff action, etc) do not produce an audible voice every time. Perhaps only 25 or 33 percent of the time? Or after a given action occurs and the voice plays, it won't play again for 5/10/20 more actions?

Or maybe both 1 and 2? I don't see a downside to implementing the first idea unless you are supposed to use the voice prompts to gain some usable combat intel from robots you can't see/detect.

Good idea. :)

* A number of the robot voice prompts no longer play when in fog of war, and a number of the more frequent ones play only some of the time now (such as the BatBot).
