Help making marriage dialogue for a uniquely-voiced vanilla NPC?


Recommended Posts

I'm relatively new at modding, and I've been dabbling and experimenting in it for about a week. I came into it, however, wanting one thing. I wanted to take a certain vanilla NPC with a unique voice, and mix up his voice a little to create at least a semi-realistic dialogue branch that would allow my character to marry him. I figured it was possible. There are at least a few mods out there that have done this. I've seen ones for Brynjolf and Cicero, and they're relatively decent, so I know it can be done.

 

I've already gone and extracted his dialogue, converted them into wav. files, tweaked what I could on audacity, converted them back into fuz. files, set the relationship rank and the factions and the disposition, and I've done all of this as carefully as I've could. I really like this guy, so I've been meticulous about not doing anything to screw it up. I've watched and read several tutorials and followed them to the letter too.

 

But it's always the dialogue that intimidates me. What's even worse I've found is that there are TONS of tutorials on how to make custom voiced followers and marriable vanilla-voiced NPCs, but there's jack squat on how to do something like this, and if there are any tutorials out there capable of showing me how to do this step by step, they're either not very helpful, extremely vague, or probably buried somewhere in the shadows of the deep web. What's frustrating is that I KNOW this is possible for reasons I've previously stated. I would try experimenting, but I'm terrified of messing this up.

 

Please, can someone assist me in this dilemma?

Ok, did you check the dialogue on the marriage quests? Because its been a while since I looked but I believe they're set up for generic voiced actors and not unique voiced ones. You'd have to patch all the marriage dialogue options or somehow temporarily change his voice type for the duration? I'm not sure if thats even possible though.

Well, I guess I could switch his voice to generic. That's totally possible to change his voice, but in the end it just wouldn't seem...right? I guess? At least not for this guy.

 

Idek. I suppose I'll study the marriage dialogue a bit closer. Perhaps there's some sort of way I could copy the data from a qualified NPC's dialogue and somehow tweak it to suit my needs. I could probably also look at the other two mods I mentioned, see what they did for it? Would that be a good idea?
