Audio Overhaul for Skyrim 2

Audio Overhaul for Skyrim

<> Voted Nexus mod of the month in October 2013 <> <> One of the top 100 most endorsed Skyrim mods on Nexus <>

AOS is an extensive sound overhaul aiming to make Skyrim's soundscape more immersive, clear, responsive, impactful and ultimately fun, while also aiming for maximum compatibility, performance and coherency with the original game. Ambience, weapons, magic, movement, reverb system, sound propagation, creatures and the overall mix are key areas of change. The audio has been tweaked and often redesigned from scratch in thousands of instances of content and implementation, to achieve one coherent vision for the soundscape that does not rely on third party content or code. The overall style and tone moves away from a "gamey" soundscape and instead uses more real life audio behavior as a guideline. Another goal was to really make sure that this AOS does not give itself away as a mod. Through subtlety and coherence, new and old content should meld together seamlessly, even if that means that the majority of changes will not be consciously noticed.

No content has been stolen from other games. New audio content is unique to this project and there is nothing that was just copied straight out of a sound library.
