Ever wanted your charater to talk? You can do it now.

I have always been disappointed that my characters in Skyrim never say anything. Recorded dialog for the player character was the one thing I thought Bioware got right with Dragon Age 2. Evidently some one agreed with me and made a go of it for Skyrim. Its not anything like DA2's voiced dialog but its a improvement over nothing at all.

The mod author took the various one liners you hear your followers say and set it up so those lines come from your character when you hit a trigger point. They made use of the various voice sets already in Skyrim Female Commander, Female Young Eager, Female Commoner, Male Dunmer, Male Even Toned, and Male Khajiit. From the looks of things more are on the way. Even some from other games. You can trigger the one liners at the start and finish of combat, finding valuable loot, entering a dungeon or certain buildings, etc.

Its not perfect mind you. A few glitches have come up but nothing that's really a big issue. For example, if you try to mine ore while having a weapon out about half the time your camera will lock and not move. You character will put the weapon away but will not start to mine the ore. If you happen to move your character when this happens it can get confusing because the movement keys will be tied to the direction your character is facing and not the camera. Simple solution just try to mine the ore again and things will go back to the way they should be. Better yet, put your weapon away before you try to mine to avoid the whole issue until a fix can be added to the mod. Its a conflicting scripts error that is being worked on.

Even with the small issues this mod adds a dimension to Skyrim that has always been missing. You wouldn't think hearing a one line from your character would make that much of a difference but it did for me. Give it a look if it sounds like something you might like.

Definitely a mod worth watching, I saw it a few days ago. I'll wait until it is at least mostly done before I give it a go, but the video looks promising.
