The mod's finished! All characters are fully voiced and every file has been tuned for better quality and effects. Enjoy! (by @Krevace)

This mod absolutely gives a breath of fresh pine-scented air to the whole game, a must-have for anyone who wants a "vanilla+" experience.

The Lore Explorer as the museum notes is genius lol

[Not-ava1lable]

I can't believe just one bad VA (Lexi Pye VA) turned me off from the mod. Amazing work anyways.

[Starr-Lights]

kiiinda weird you pick the one trans VA to have an issue with lmao (especially considering the queer rep outer wilds has in general)
she did her best, along with everyone else, and it's good enough for a community project that i'm assuming wasn't funded

[Starr-Lights]

especially since she also voiced rutile and the eye museum chorus and you didn't nitpick those lmao, that's double weird

[gompk]

Really the appreciate the effort to have such a wide variety of voices playing all the characters! It is occasionally a little jarring with some nomai having quite disparate accents/performances, but for the most part definitely an appreciated addition to the game :)

[trifylli]

What an incredible project! I especially love Pye's voice, the voice actress's performance was heartbreaking as she [REDACTED]. Can't reccomend it enough!

[TheCoolesttOne]

i loved this mod for the base game, i am yet to try it for the dlc (as i just bought it and it is still downloading) i have high hopes for it

[jenjib]

A great mod. Really brings it to life and makes the ow experience more pleasant.
But it crashes my game for some reason. Not the exact moment but like 16 minutes in while reading any text the game guves up. Is there a fix to this?

[jenjib]

*gives up

[jenjib]

Update: It probably isn't because of this mod, but somehting else

[Whitebrim]

Does it contain only English voice lines?

[Krevace]

Yes, only English.

[Spartanul]

Holy fuck this mod is horrible. It's like the voice actors have never had a human interaction in their lives.

I mean just because the game is mid, didn't have to mean the voice actors had to be garbage too...

Would be nice if music would fade slightly when talking to someone (in the same way it happens when you use singalscope) - its hard to set up volume so that you can hear them clearly when music is playing without them being unnaturally loud.

Amazing mod

[eapiova]

would you recommend it for a first time player?

[DerRauvehrdarkt]

I would not recommend it for a first time player, I'll quickly explain why with no spoilers :)

When I first played it I was a little disappointed there wasn't voice acting, and it even came across as cheap as a result. But very quickly that feeling completely changed. I love that the game gives you the opportunity to use your imagination with these characters. I personally think the lack of voice acting allows you to become even more attached to the characters you'll meet than you could with a voice, because it allows your mind to fill in the blanks.

Aside from that, the voice acting in this mod is not amazing, and frankly, I feel could even ruin a first time play through. Good question to ask!

[eapiova]

Thank you for the honest feedback, I will start it without voice acting

[DerRauvehrdarkt]

Sounds good! Super excited for you! Enjoy every second of it :)

[DerRauvehrdarkt]

TL;DR It's alright, but not amazing.

I can absolutely appreciate the passion that goes into a project like this and I love the perspective the Voice Actors provide to the characters they voice act. This game means a lot to different people and I love seeing what it means to these people in particular :)

However, it is not top tier voice acting. A lot of it feels stale, and from what I explored, the VA often doesn't quite express a sentence the way it's being portrayed.

That may be a matter of opinion, as I had ideas for what each of these characters would sound like, and not one of them matched my vision.
Pye, for example, I always imagined with an energetic and fun voice, as she loves what she does and cracks jokes along the way (similar to Pinkie Pie, if you will, haha). The actress... just does not match that energy. She speaks with a very lowkey, quiet tone, and even in the times when Pye is excited, still doesn't match that.

I can appreciate this mod for what it is, and while I'm glad I saw what it had to offer, I think I'll just go without from now on.
