Female sultry voice = 2 different voices?

Post » Sun Aug 25, 2013 6:30 pm

Didn't know which section to put this in so I put it here. Anyways, I created a custom female follower and I gave her the FemaleSultry voice. Now, when I go ingame, when she isn't following me she has the standard voice and dialogue that says "What do you need handsome?" and "Is there something I can do for you?".

However, when I ask her to follow me, and then talk to her again to do things like change her inventory etc., she has a completely different voice! Her standard sultry dialogue doesn't even exist anymore when she follows. But when I unfollowed her, the dialogue and voice returns back to normal. So is this a mistake on Bethesda's part with the voice acting? Or did I do something wrong in CK?

Because the two different voices IMO is very immersion breaking, which is why I'll probably switch over to another voice for this character, but that doesn't change the fact that the sultry voice, IMO is was a very poorly done feature for followers.

Note: If you still don't know what the sultry voice is, it's the one that Susanna the Wicked uses.

The CK forum is where you want to be. Hit the report button and ask a moderator to move it for you.

I've made followers with that voice and they turned out fine.

Bethesda never recorded the follower dialogue for the FemaleSultry voice. They attempted to cover for this by pitch-editing the FemaleYoungEager lines and using them as the FemaleSultry lines, but they didn't bother to do this for all the potential follower dialogue. On the only vanilla follower with the FemaleSultry voice is Eola, and her unique quest-related dialogue partially masks the error.

However, Beleval from Dawnguard has the FemaleSultry voice and no dialogue to mask the omission. So, the Unofficial Skyrim Patch created placeholder voice files by pitch-editing the FemaleYoungEager responses as Bethesda had done. No, they don't match exactly, but they match Beth's attempt at fixing it and prevent totally silent dialogue.

Welll... [censored]. I guess I'm switchin over to the young eager voice then, because no matter how good the voice is, immersion is always a priority.
