Dragons just Roaring instead of Talking

[tyrel68]

I know this is a bit more of a fine line but something i had in the back of my mind for a long time was the fact that dragons attacking is dragons talking but all you hear is BLLLLAAAAAARRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH

I found a REALLY good mod that does a very clean way to resolve this

 

Dragons Shout with Voice by pauderek

Optional Complete Plugin

Dragons Shout with Voice from location

http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/download/1000026786

 

A few things to notice:
- Bethesda used the same voice files for some shouts, for example Alduin's Storm Call has the same voice file as his Fire Breath.
- I've used the unique voices of Alduin and Paarthurnax when possible.
- Odahviing has unique voice files, but there are no actual words with his voice in the game file, so I've used the normal dragon voice for him. His shouts still sound a bit different than normal dragons shouts as his roars where different than the roars from normal dragons.
- The original shout dialog for dragons use a sound parameter that makes them sound near you even if they are at a distance, this works well with the vanilla roars but it can be annoying with the added voices, use the optional file to make the shouts sound from the dragons location instead of near you if this annoys you

 

This is the list of shouts affected by the modified voices:
- Unrelenting Force
- Frost Breath
- Fire Breath

 

This is the shouts he modifies which are not contained in vanilla Skyrim though so can be omitted

- Dismay
- Ice Form
- Disarm

 

There is a different voice sound for Alduin, Paarthurnax, Odahviing and normal dragons on all the listed shouts.

 

IMPORTANT

There is no esp file in this mod unless you use the optional mod which changes the location of the sound.

It simply replaces the 4-5 sound files for the dragon attack noises. I tried it and do suggest the optional plugin but that's just me.

Total File size would probably me 350 Kb

Well, I'm honored that you think that way. But I don't think that they want to use it as it isn't really a "bug fix", it's more like a "lore-friendly tweak".
They have no reason to use it, it's like asking them to include the Wet and Cold mod because when it snows it makes sense that you get covered in snow ;D
But if you want to contact them and ask go ahead, you are free to do it.

Paudrek is right, and while that's a pretty cool mod he's made, it isn't within scope for the project to pick it up.
