Voice acting would be very low on my priority list for KB. Hiring actors costs money, and you'd need a different set of actors for each different language version. I'm afraid they'd just end up doing a half-assed job with it and either hire a bunch of cheap, talentless amateurs, or have three or four actors each playing 20 different characters. I've played many games where they've done just that (Oblivion, anyone?), and in my opinion that tends to reduce rather than improve immersion. A possible compromise would be to give voiced dialogue to the most important characters with the most lines and keep unimportant side characters silent.
