Ah, another Araghast enjoyer i see. Nice work with the icon switch, i myself managed to change the dialogue portrait, but i never had a clue how to do the same with icons and potraits as well. Now all we need is the Araghast voice (at least the unit dialogue voice) and we have a full package :D
Thank you! Changing icons and portraits isn't hard once you extract the SGAs and put the proper subfolders and file names for your modified files into new SGAs. Also, glad you approve, cheers for making the helmet mods.
I love the look of Araghast but I would not want his voice in Retribution, to me it makes Eliphas creepier and more effective as a Chaos Lord to have him look exactly like Araghast but speak with his own voice. I prefer Araghast's role in Chaos Rising to be his only appearance. Really I just have a bee in my bonnet about all the space marine/chaos space marine commanders going helmetless lol. And I'm a perfectionist, so having the helmet be on the model with a bare-headed icon, portrait and video would not do!
No problem. And yea, i was annoyed by that fact for a long time, so thanks for saving me from that cursed bald-headed icon :D
Fair enough, to each their own, but i'd much rather preferred if we had Araghast in Retribution rather than Eliphas. He was cool with Paul Dobson voice in Dark Crusade, but in Chaos Rising and Retribution he should've just stayed dead and bring back Araghast instead, cause i can't take Eliphas seriously when he speaks like Starscream. That and Steve Blum also voiced Cyrus and Martellus, so there was no need for third Steve Blum character again lol
I definitely agree on that last point, it always bothers me to have Cyrus and Martellus say some of the exact same response lines and sound so similar- but sound editing isn't something I'm gonna try for a long while if I do. But since Martellus had the same voice in Chaos Rising and Vanilla, I guess a new voice would break continuity... headcanon Cyrus and Martellus as twin brothers? I thought of maybe having Martellus' in game voice set be replaced by the lingua techna lines from Mechanicus.
And yeah Paul Dobson Eliphas is amazing, but I do like having him rougher and scrappier, always coming back and striking deals to get out of his predicaments. I find characters more interesting when they are less 'badass' and more vulnerable. (i often wonder how different the games would be if the characters all sounded like normal non-voice actor people putting the same amount of energy in) The Starscream sound works well for that.
