It is my intention for this mod to offer players a different way to experience Zevran's character on subsequent playthroughs. AI voices should never replace human voice actors - never bow down to the machines.
This mod changed the voice acting lines for zevran by manually swapping each .wav with an edited one, making him sound different. As such, this mod is incompatible with any mods that edit the same files as this one (such as Zevran_main.fsb).
Since this mod was created using emerging technologies, the quality is far from perfect. Particularly, lines featuring heavy sound effects/laughing/whispering are not on par with the level of quality I would wish them to be. However, I cannot improve on them since I am limited by the technology of my time. So, please forgive the occasional "robot whisper" moment!
I know that this voice is not perfect. It is a bit cursed, a bit cracked... however for me it serves a purpose. This is just a personal mod that I made for myself, and I am sharing it in case anyone else would like to use it.
I've uploaded a sample video showcasing the new voice (from his first meeting) and a video of the same encounter with his vanilla voice for comparison. If you are wondering about a different mod shown in the video feel free to ask in the comments.
I have not fully tested this mod - If you encounter an issue with this mod (voicelines that are still vanilla or wrongly placed) please let me know and I'll do my best to fix it.
