📋 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.
