I would like to thank this author, if he is still around - but also give some advice.
I researched this mod for someone else. I'm playing BG1 classic (with mods) for the first time ever, someone else is and he's complaining about the character speed. So I researched around and linked him to this mod. Fine. I don't want to use this mod as I want to have the "BG1 classic first-time around" vibe, even though I've used a few other mods this one seems a bit too radical for me.
However... the sounds... MY GOD THE SOUNDS!
You wouldn't know about the sound pack (let alone the portraits too) but these should be a seperate mod, or at least heavily referenced. My Paladin now has the austere voice of justice Vhailor, voiced by Keith Davids with reverb.
There are so, so many they should be a separate pack IMHO. Too few know of them. Anyone can make a custom portrait up from the Internet (I have, using a tidy 3D crusader render) but voice packs are quite something else.
Fantastic work, and thank you.
