    Okay, I've acquired a freeware audio recorder program (Audacity) and the parameters for Icewind Dale II sound sets.

    A crafty conjurer? A brutal barbarian? A grinning gopher? :) What kind of characters would you like to hear in Icewind Dale II?

    edit: make 'em male, please. :)

    I think we've got enough male fighter voices :)

    Personally, I'd like more madmen ;)

    How about some really cool evil soundsets - wizards and other classes, not just fighters!!

    The world needs more evil soundsets, it is as simple as that!

    Aha! A topic I can get behind!

    Seriously - I and a friend also do soundsets, and are definitely interested in knowing what people are looking for. We've asked around the BG2 discussion groups but no one there seems to be playing enough IWD2 to really be worried about it, and honestly, the selection included with the game ain't bad.

    That said, you might stop by our page, have a listen, and let us know what you'd like to hear. We would both be grateful.

    Vox Populi

    Thanks guys, and have fun with it.

    (Incidentally, ME, I want a few more voices that aren't quite so shamelessly cliched. The female thief voices included with the game are just ear-grating.)

    If you want any of the evil characters from BG1 or BG2 I can make them and send it to SP. I already made a Sarevok one if you like him. He's... sort of evil...isn't he?

    Cheers.

    How about voices for fighters, monks, mages, who sound like good, kindly people, but you can tell they're tough at the same time?

    Irish and Scottish definitely sound like a good idea. How about an oriental soundset - Yoshimo is the only one I am aware of. There aren't many soundsets for Half-Orcs either.

    More elvish voices (ie. less gruff, maybe with a bit of elvish thrown in, like the drow?)
    More dwarf voices (Scottish/Irish voices would probably work)
    Generally, more race-specific voices, in good and evil.

    are we talking ones you make yourself? because in general, t doesnt work unless you go to a recording studio. Belevie me, i have done it. There is too much background noise on justa general mike. BTW, i am currently creating a LoTR sound set. Should be ready before christmas. I go on holidays in 2 weeks, so i'll finish them off then.
    Cheers.

    A evil mage! Hear hear!

    What about a smart fighter? I'm a little tired of hearing grrs and arghs all the time...or a very polite soundset.

    Did any of the above soundsets ever get made? I would be keen to check out any new soundsets as I have used up all the original ones now. It would be cool if someone had made some themed soundsets (like the Buffy ones). Surely someone has done a Lord of the Rings one by now......?

    [​IMG] Well, the most fun I've gotten out of the sound sets have always been the TV/Movie hacks. Star Trek, Monty Python, The Tick, Buffy, and (my fav) MST3k... Anyone got a source for this sort of silliness?

    I'm sure YOU can make some for us! But I agree. Some lunatics and madmen will do. Like the one in NWN 'You won't have me. You won't have ME!'

    A mischievous, greedy thief/mage voicepack would be good, too. Or a stupid, dumb and slow character: Em.. what? heh.. okay, but er.. oh well.

    Definately a voice with an irish and heavy pronunciation(sp?) with lots of grammatical errors for a dwarf. Just like Korgan from BG2.
