📋 About This Mod
TAUNTS - Dynamic Voice Line System
Bring Arthur and John's personality to life with over 2000 hand-curated and specifically chosen voice lines that react to the world around you. Ever felt like the player was too quiet after a gunfight? Wished he'd have something to say to that dying O'Driscoll? This mod restores and repurposes generic, unused, cut, and underutilized voice lines from Arthur and Johns VERY extensive audio library, creating a dynamic taunt system that makes every encounter feel more alive.

VERSION 1. 4 HAS IMPLEMENTED JOHN MARSTON TAUNTS
Over 880 specific and generic lines for different ped states and conditions have been implemented for JOHN MARSTON.
V1. 4 further adds 552 ADDITIONAL lines for ARTHUR, giving him a total of 1. 114 specific and generic lines he can taunt peds with.
This gives an insane amount of variation to the taunts you will hear throughout the game.
These have been selected manually, by me (spending ALOT of time) listening to thousands upon thousands of voice lines one by one, carefully selecting the ones that fits into a specific taunt for a specific state and condition. You can lead more about the states and conditions in the sections below:
MANUAL TAUNTS

[

For RDR2 players who want to add more personality and chaos to their outlaw roleplay. If you enjoy messing with NPCs and want a new way to provoke enemies, this is for you. Skip if you prefer pure gameplay overhauls or don't like script-heavy mods.
