Trailers and Teasers – Fironet

Kris Takahashi Trailers and Teasers No Comments

You may have noticed this already in the last update, but some of Fironet‘s files have leveled up. Alienslikechocolate is working on re-recording Fironet, which should give her better audio, a cleaner dialogue tree, and more songs to play.

As this was one of those NPCs for whom the torches, pitchforks, and torchforks would have been out in full force had I replaced her, I was glad to find the original actor among the living, and as luck would have it, one of her friends happened to have a brand new mic.

One thing we’ll get for sure with the brand new Fironet is more singy songs, since she was originally created back when the mod had nothing save her own. Although I don’t want to go overboard as that would be out of character, having a few in her arsenal besides the one isn’t a bad thing.

Trailers and Teasers – Skjel the Gray

Here is William Handford with the revamped Skjel the Gray. I wanted to give this NPC a more gravelly, monster voice like the vanilla skeletons, but still keep that jester-ish quality, and William’s rendition hit all the right buttons.

This is one of those NPCs that requires playing Skyrim and talking to vanilla NPCs, so I may have to do more of that to really flesh him out, so to speak. I tried to sprinkle a little more of that into his base dialogue as well – he previously used more idioms than Skyrim-speak – an example of which is in the following clip:

As I’ve been living in Riften on my recent test run, Skjel now has more idles pertaining to that city, but I eventually need to head out to other places and really listen to the chatter. Just another thing added to the list of shit to do.
