This mod adds hit and power attack sounds to playable Golden Saint and Dark Seducer races added by Oblivion Races Unlocked 3.5 OCOv2 via a simple and clean method.

Some backstory and why I felt this mod was necessary:

As a user of Oblivion Character Overhaul version 2, I also use Oblivion Races Unlocked 3.5 OCOv2 so that I can play as all vanilla races.
However, the female Dremora and female/male Golden Saints & Dark Seducers added by the mod do not have voices.
The female Dremora voice is already taken care of by the great Voices for Female Dremora NPCs, but that still leaves the Golden Saints and Dark Seducers unaccounted for.

There are two mods on Nexus that I first considered in order to add voices to the Golden Saints and Dark Seducers, but they did not work out for me:

1. Aureal and Mazken Voices Restored (Again)
- This mod's method for adding voices is overly convoluted and decreases compatibility. One is first required to download an older mod that alters the stats of races and birthsigns, and adds data for modded races into Oblivion. The mod then makes the vanilla Golden Saint and Dark Seducer races unplayable, and then duplicates them to create player only versions. 
The problem is, I do not want to alter the stats of anything in the game, and creating duplicate races means that if you have already applied things like hair packs to the vanilla Golden Saints and Dark Seducers (like I have), you will have to then reapply the packs to the duplicate races. 
So many extra steps and tweaks, when all I desire are voices for the playable races.

2. Aureal Mazken and Dremora voices for player
-I can't figure out how to get this one to work. I place the voice and .lip files in the correct folders, and I get nothing.

I decided to take matters into my own hands and add the voices another way:
I copied Dispensation's method for adding female Dremora voices with Voices for Female Dremora NPCs, and used a quest to trigger hit and power attack sounds from only the player if their selected race is either Golden Saint or Dark Seducer. This should allow for much greater compatibility, as no races are duplicated and no stats are altered. The NPC Golden Saints and Dark Seducers will also still have their voices.

Installation:
Unzip the file and drop the folder titled "data" in your Oblivion directory.

Requirements:
Though I created this mod in order to give voices to the races added by Oblivion Races Unlocked 3.5 OCOv2, I do not see why it wouldn't work with other mods that also allow the vanilla Golden Saint and Dark Seducer races to be playable without voices.

Conflicts:
If you use a mod like Elz - More Voice, that adds voices to the player character, the Golden Saint and Dark Seducer voices will not be muted. They will instead play simultaneously alongside the voices added by Elz - More Voice

Special thanks:
Dispensation for creating Voices for Female Dremora NPCs, so that I could use that mod as an example to follow for adding voices to the Golden Saints and Dark Seducers.
