S9 Awesome Soundsets Vol. 1

A Spellhold Studios Miscellaneous mod 
Author: Smeagolheart
Version: 1.1 
Readme created: http://htmleditor.in/index.html
 
Overview
 
The "Awesome Soundsets Volumes" mods are collections of sound sets with subtitles that can be used for player characters in Baldur's Gate 1 Enhanced Edition, Baldur's Gate 2 Enhanced Edition or Icewind Dale Enhanced Edition.
 
This collection features Baldur's Gate 1 NPC voicesets slightly customized in order to be used by player created characters. 

Technical

There are currently 33 sounds w/ subtitles possible in IWDEE, 25 possible in BGEE, and 29 in BG2EE.  The default soundsets in IWDEE feature 25/33 sounds and BGEE default soundsets only use 15/25 sounds.  Soundsets added with this mod use up to the maximum number of sounds - depending on if appropriate sounds are available. 

The weidu installer will install the correct number of sounds possible with subtitles for each different installation.

The Final Word
 
If you enjoyed any of the soundsets and you do not already own the game that the soundsets come from, you are largely encouraged to buy the related games, both because they're excellent games on their own, and because this way you're giving something back to the game developer.
