📋 About This Mod
NOTE I do not own the Remaster so I cannot 100% verify that all of this will work properly. This was ported from PTDE.
Also includes a Text To Speech voice pack from the dialogue subtitles, with different voices for each character!
This mod only changes the English text. Idea shamelessly stolen from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyzP2M8VMFM
Installation
I included a backup of the vanilla text files in the download, but feel free to make a back up of your own.
Extract the zip folder somewhere, then place the extracted msg folder in your DATA directory (ex: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DARK SOULS REMASTERED). Overwrite when prompted.
For the voice pack, do the same thing but place the extracted sound folder in your DATA directory.
Credits
Huge thank you to AinTunez for generating all of the audio files!
Also thanks to Meowmaritus for making MeowDSIO and TextVessel.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite (474 endorsements) with a solid download count (25k+)

⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2018, so it may not work with the latest game patches or mods
- Could conflict with other UI mods that alter item descriptions
- Not for lore enthusiasts—this mod intentionally ruins the story
For Dark Souls veterans who've memorized every item description and want a comedic twist. Also for players who enjoy absurdist humor and don't care about lore. Skip if you're a first-time player or want to experience the game's story.
💡 Beginner Tips

- This mod is purely cosmetic—it won't affect gameplay mechanics
- If you're using other UI mods, install this one last to avoid overwriting
