---------
Update v1. 0. 1:
Added new voice (Ludwig), minor improvements to all voices (non-verbal audios, speak-with-dead audio)
---------
The "Nero" variant is based on this mod by juliabel - Their mod is not compatible with patch 7 due to incorrect file format and new voicelines that were added to the game therefore still have the vanilla voice. I like their mod so I re-did it from scratch using the same voice-model.
None of this would have been possible without the incredible voice acting performed by Neil Newbon, whose performance thankfully still exists in its emotion and acting prowess even after changing the voice itself. It is my intention for this mod to offer players a different way to experience Astarion's character on subsequent playthroughs. AI voices should never replace human voice actors - never bow down to the machines.
Since this mod was created using emerging technologies, the quality is far from perfect. Particularly, lines featuring heavy sound effects or whispering are not on par with the level of quality I would wish them to be. However, I cannot improve on them since I am limited by the technology of my time. So, please forgive the occasional "robot whisper" moment!
If you know of any other HIGH-QUALITY models you would wish me to use for Astarion, let me know in the comments.
