📋 About This Mod

Note: For some reason, Firefox has suddenly started flagging many downloads on Nexus containing ESP files as having viruses. This is a false-positive (at least, for this mod), and only seems to be happening with that browser. The only file included in this mod is a very small ESP that simply adds/removes a single faction for several NPCs, and no other scanners have reported issues with this file.

Oblivion Remastered adds a lot of new voiceovers for characters in the game. While I appreciate the added variety, I was disappointed to notice that the original voice for male Argonians and Khajiit is almost non-existent now. Of all the living male beasts you can encounter...the old voice is used for a grand total of 7 of them in the whole game! This also introduces some inconsistencies: for example, Big Head previously had a voice consistent with his appearance in Morrowind, but now he has a totally different one.

This mod restores the old voices to a number of male Argonians and Khajiit in the game. This has been achieved by simply removing them from the new AltVoiceFaction, reverting them to the old voicetype. I've generally done this for "tougher" or more "villainous" characters, as IMO the old voice suits them better, but I've also changed certain other characters just to break up the vocal monotony a bit (e.g. one of the three Black Horse Courier brothers now has a different voice). There are still plenty of characters using the new voices, this mod just makes it more of an even split.

Additionally, I've added M'aiq the Liar to AltVoiceFaction. His dialogue was actually rerecorded, but the new recordings are not used which I believe to be a developer oversight. With this mod, he now has the same voice actor as he does in Skyrim, keeping things nice and consistent.
