Only if no NPC hears what is spoken and acts on it. E.g.
tell packrat to kill Chris
can have a fairly lasting effect on the world. All it takes is a 'bot
in a combat world that can act on spoken commands. There must be some
of those out there, no?
If player characters hear speech and act on it, they will be sending
commands to do the action, so that aspect is OK.
