IMPORTANT!!!
=============

This version is now obsolete, it is recommended to download the new version instead of this one.

Since spellholdstudios allows to upload only one file(which cannot be larger than 32 Mb) per mod, I had to pack all sound sets into two files...Here you will find 1stArchive. The 1stArchive contains sound sets for: Imoen, Irenicus, Keldorn, Algernon, Sarevok, Safana, Nalia and Minsc.

For 2ndArchive go to: http://forums.spellholdstudios.net/index.p...mp;showfile=385


Description
===========
Bored with your mute character? Want your evil character to sound like evil? Want your palladin to sound like one? Now you can.

This mod gives your character ability to speak. From now on you will hear your character commenting about 30 various events through the game. This includes diverse battle-cries during combat, differential comments while wandering Tamriel, while venturing in the ruins/dungeons, while wandering during the day/night, and many, many more(~35-60 comments per set...you will have to discover them by yourself )

My goal was to create sound sets for Oblivion...remember Baldurs Gate, or Neverwinter Nights, where you could chose a sound set for your character, depending on the alignment and class you planned to play? Now you can do so in Oblivion.

Details
=======
Those sound sets wasn't recorded by me, some of them are from Baldurs Gate, part of them was recorded by VoxPopuli group, and some are from different games (currently Garrett from Thief series).

You can now choose a sound set for your character. Note that some of them are aimed for good PC's, some for evil ones. You should also pay attention to class of char you want to play, some sound sets are to be used for warrior types chars, while other are created for thieves or mages. The choice is of course up to you, you can use e.g. Keldorn's sound set while playing a thief character, but you will never hear him commenting a theft or starting to sneak.

There are many comments you can hear during the game, some of them will be quite common, some will be heard less frequently, and some are very rare. This will depend on your gameplay, and decisions you make.

Currently there is sixteen sound sets to chose, more of them will come soon.

Here is a short description of currently available soundsets:

Calisto: an evil female , perfect for assasin/thief char. Sexy and ruthless.

Imoen: most of you know this char, so you know what to expact, for those that dont - she is a female thief(will work well as a mage, too), with neutral/good alignment.

Mazzy Fentan: a female character with good alignment, aimed for warrior PC's, excellent for palladin types. Her faith in justice is her armour.

Garrett: I think there is no need to introduce this one. He is a male character, a master thief . Recommended for thieves only.

Sarevok: an evil male character from BG series, perfect for a Dark Knight. Grab your dreadric longsword and feel his rage!

Keldorn Firecam: a male character with good alignment, designed for a warrior, especially palladin. A zealot waging his own war with evil, while preserving the justice.

Cernd: a neutral/good male for ranger or druid character. "Balance be served", as he would say.

Jaheira: some of you still remember this character...for those that don't: she is a druid/ranger. Her bonds with nature are very strong, which you will hear more than once.

Edwin: a male character designed for evil PC's, especially mages. He's ill-manered and selfish, but playing this character can bring a lot of fun, and hearing his "Why do I suffer these fools" may sometimes sound suspiciously ... real?

Jon Irenicus: an evil male character, perfect for a mage or a warlock. Powerful and formidable. Be him, and make Tamriel tremble before you!

Rhett: A cocky gent with a wry grin on his face, ready to look Death right in the eye and cheat him at cards while doing so. Use him for your rogue... swashbuckling fighter... heck, even a flamboyant mage wouldn't be too far out of the question.

Nalia: a female character with good alignment. Recommended for mages, although any class should fit, as long as it's not a thief nor an assasin.

Brekke: an evil female character, designed for skilled in destruction mages, thou she may be used for any female character with bad attitude.

Algernon: an eldery male mage. Despite of his age he still journeys seeking adventure. Sometimes he reminds me of Gandalf...

Safana: a very sensual woman, endowed with alluring, silky voice. Originally Safana was a thief, but this sound set may be used for any female character with neutral/evil personallity. Note that many of her lines are addressed to you...

Minsc: a hero in the full sense of the word . Best for warrior types with good alignment. Originally Minsc was taking care of his hamster, Boo. Since space hamsters are not Tamriel specific, I prepared two versions of this set: one where you can hear Boo from time to time and one without Boo. Read the install instructions in the readme before use.


Install
=======
1. Extract the files to a temporary location.
2. Examine the folder structure and make corrections where necessary.
3. Copy files to (install folder)\Oblivion\Data\
4. Start Oblivion Launcher, click 'Data Files', place a checkmark beside the .esp file(s).

Remember that you should use only one at a time!
Uninstall
=========
You will find the procedure in the readme inside the archive.

Incompatibility
===============
This mod slightly alters the reload time after players death, if you are using any mod that change this value, simply load it after my mod.
Using it altogether with PowerAttackVioceMod may produce weird effects, therefore it is unrecommended to use both of them simultaneously.

Known Issues or Bugs
====================
Those sounds wasn't recorded for Oblivion, therefore sometimes you can hear your char calling the name of a god that doedn't exist in Tamriel.
There are no other known at the moment, please contact me if you find any.
