Maxwell's World is one of my favorite quest mods. However, it lacks a voiced protagonist. Even though the mod is extremely enjoyable without a voiced protagonist, it's still nice to have the option be there. :) So here we go, a VASynth voiced protagonist for Maxwell's World,for BOTH NATE AND NORA. As with other VAsynth voiced mods, things will sound a little.... odd. That's something that's gonna happen regardless of tweaking or editing. It's a robot doing an impression of whoever, and can't always properly sound like a human.. but that's fine. There's a lot of lines, and to individually comb through them for Nate and Nora, and edit them all to make them seem 'natural' would be a large endeavor. I honestly think the voiced lines are fine as is. If you played the Point Lookout mod, with the Voiced Protagonist addon by radbeetle, you know what to expect. :)

Some words, despite trying to fix them, will still sound off. Example: the word "No" or "what". The program wants to pronounce them as "noo" or "hwat". I really did my best to play around with the tools, but alas, nothing satisfied me. So let them be. Other than these oddities, i broke down several words and such into practical syllables that VASynth could understand which worked out well. Some words did not take well, so those were adjusted until i was satisfied.

For whatever reason, the protagonist has no mouth movement when talking to gina. Yes, lip files are. But they don't work. I dunno
I only changed 1 interaction between the PC and Gale, during the beginning of obtaining the quest. There's 4 options that are like "What, Huh, Wazzuh, and SARCASTIC" - These responses were literally those when generated, so i changed them to be more natural(the PC would literally say "Sarcastic" if you chose the sarcasm option lol). So i modified those lines to something like "Maxwell's world, where, What's that" and for sarcastic "Sounds like fun!" - Other than those changes, i did nothing else with the dialogue.
BIG THANKS to radbeetle and her awesome guide!
