📋 About This Mod
Thanks to Malukah for this wonderful piece of art! new \"The Age of Oppression\" added to download section *********** new \"The Dragonborn Comes\" added to download section ******** changelog v1. 1 music file trimmed at the beginning and the end other phrases replaced with almost empty .fuz files ******************* The modification itself is a replacer for the bards song files which can be found in the \"data\\sound\\voice\\skyrim.esm\\femaleeventoned\" folder. Lip snyc won\'t work until the Creation Kit is released or someone with more knowledge on this might take the challenge. I could have split the whole song from Malukah into several small parts that would have fit the old lip sync files but this would have totally destroyed the magic of the song because... the bards original version is almost half the duration, which would have again needed lip sync. Original Bard Song from the Legion consisted of the following order in my test run: bardsongs__0009583f_1 bardsongs__00095840_1 bardsongs__00095841_1 bardsongs__000d0839_1 bardsongs__000d083a_1 ... And maybe some more of Malukah\'s songs will soon be heard in your local tavern. For testing you can just travel to Solitude and have a nice magic moment in the \"Winking Skeever\" listening to Lisette. Just ask her for the song, or wait till her vanilla script tiggers to start her singing.
