DS2 & Broken World VoiceSets

I thought I'd start a new topic on VoiceSets for Dungeon Siege 2 and Broken World. Similar to Voicesets from such games as Baldur Gate series and Neverwinter Nights, these voicesets give party member responses to certain situations in the world such as being selected, moving to position and less commonly spotting an enemy or defeating an enemy.

The voice samples for the recruitable characters are taken from their dialogue from the game so they sound exactly like you expect them to. The hero's voice samples are taken from various websites such as Sorcerers Place and Neverwinter Nights Vault. The DS2 VoiceSet supports and works in Broken World and add voicesets for the Hero Dwarf, Yoren, Ressa and Celeb'hel.

A small patch making the voicesets work in Aranna Legacy, not tested in DS2 with the hotfix mod.

Voicesets for all the recruitable characters in the DS1 Legendary Mod. Note 3rd party maps will use various sets from this pack.

Comments welcome and any suggestions for improvements or sources of cool, free to use voice samples would be great. There's even the chance for you to take samples of your own voice and make a pack of it, if it sounds good I'll add it to the VoiceSets and give credit.

Update: I just missed by a minute or two, KillerGremal's update on Aranna Legacy where he said he'll eventually add support for the VoiceSets. At that point the patch will become redundant and will be removed as no longer necessary.

Incidentally I forgot to mention that the VoiceSets only exist because of KillerGremal's original code which I modified slightly to work in a few more situations with his help. This is mentioned in the readme.

I loved that about the voice set that it had some Baldur's Gate/Neverwinter Nights voice samples in it. I was actually thinking about making a voice set with different voice samples from other games as well, I wouldn't try using my own voice though unless I had a studio condensing microphone lol. I thought the latest DS2_Mod_VoiceSet was beta 4 btw.
Anyway, thanks Iryan for the Aranna Legacy patch

One of the things I loved about Legends of Aranna was the voices of the characters, added a lot to the game. Pity GPG didn't copy that aspect.

Just have to be careful about copyright infringements when using voice samples from other games. Of course for private use anything goes and they are really quite easy to make if you have a bit of time to spare.

I liked that about Legends of Aranna as well. It seems fairly simple to make them, I'm trying to implement a few free samples right now actually just for kicks
