This is a compilation of a variety of voicesets for NWN I found on the vault. The set includes Fall-from-Grace, Drow Matron, MoW companions plus additional voices from BG, PST and others. See credits for details. In addition, I included Non-Prophet�s modifications to unlock some companion and NPC voices to be used by PCs.

Update 08-10
- Added Hak-version for NWN1
- Updated the soundset.2da files to include 14 more voicesets
- Changed SerenityFrost�s Jon Irenicus soundset so it is not mute anymore
Instructions:
- Download SerenityFrost's and Gilrad's voicesets (see below for the links)
- Download the JonIrenicus.rar file from here.
- If you already have the 33 previous voicesets installed, there is no need to re-download the voicesets.rar file from here, it is not changed! If you have a new installation, download this one as well. If you only want the 33 voicesets, you don't need to download JonIrenicus.rar, SerenityFrost's and Gilrad's voicesets.
- Extract all sound files and the .ssf files into the Voicesets folder in your override folder (i.e. C:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\My Documents\Neverwinter Nights 2\Override). For the sake of organization, I put the files into various folders wrapped in the Voicesets folder. Create it if it doesn't exist. Further subfolders are tolerated.
- Do *not* add any soundset.2da file possibly included in any of these downloads!
- Download the separate Voicesets_2DA.rar file from here. Depending on your NWN2 installation, drop the correct soundset.2da file into the Voicesets folder in your override folder, replacing any possibly present existing soundset.2da file in your override folder. There are .da files for 33 voicesets of for 47.
- You may want the separate readme file as well. It contains additional information on the voices.
The voicesets are now available during character creation. In multiplayer games, these voicesets will not be heard by other players unless they have them also installed in their own override directories.
Remove any other soundset.2da file from your override directory, or these voicesets will not work properly! Because there is only one voiceset.2da file loaded by the game engine, this voiceset is not directly compatible with any other voiceset. If you have already another voiceset installed you wish to keep, you will have to customize the soundset.2da file. All changes I made to the soundset.2da are documented in the readme.
You can reorganize the files and folders at your will, as long as they remain within the override folder.
I could not test the soundset.2da file for MotB, use it at your own peril!
If something isn�t working, make sure you have exactly one, and only one, soundset.2da file in your override folder!
All 12 Voicesets by SerenityFrost. Download the voicesets from the links below. IMPORTANT: you do *not* need any of the .2da files from there. Use *only* the ones included here from this voiceset here if you want to use all voicesets simultaneously! (If I sound repetitive: this can�t be stressed enough.)
2 Voicesets by Gilrad, w8chaotic.rar and w8eccf1.rar. Download from Link
Hak-version for NWN1
This hak includes all voices mentioned here (including SerenityFrost�s and Gilrad�s) *plus* the requested Neeshka-Voiceset from NWN2!
How to use:
Drop the VoiceSets_BlueS.hak file into the hak-folder.
Link the hak-file to your module.
Create a matching soundset.2da file (see separately available readme for everything I changed in the NWN2 soundset.2da file, so you can match the files). Drop it either in the override folder or pack into a hak file and link it as well to your module. The voices should be available at character creation. If the hak-file is not linked to the module, the PC will remain silent.
I did not include a soundset.2da file into the VoiceSets_BlueS.hak because I only have an outdated installation of NWN1 which I haven�t used for years. (In a quick and dirty test with the NWN2 soundset.2da file in the override folder, it worked, but really, don�t use this to play!)
To create your own soundset.2da file is fairly simple, in principle. Merge the appropriate lines from the NWN2-soundset.2da file with your current one from NWN1 in a simple texteditor like notepad. Further help can be found in the readme, or look at e.g. SerenityFrost�s guide Link
The small print:
I made this compilation for my own use, and I�m sharing it so other people can enjoy it as well. That said, these files are offered as-is without any liability.
I changed the original soundset.2da files and tweaked some .ssf files. The MoW companion sounds were extracted from the original .hak file so they work from the override directory. The other voicesets used were made as stated in the credits.

Thanks to tazpn for the SSF Utility, to Squeeself for the SSFEditor, and to tani and ladydesire for NWN2Packer.
Contains the required .2da files. Download and drop the correct version into the override folder. See separate ReadMe for more details. Updated 10-08-24.
In the latest SoZ 2da, the gender flags are flipped on the SoZ henches: I.E. males are marked female and vice versa. Easy to fix by switching the 1s and 0s in the column.
Thank you very much for the hak version. I really don't like using the override folder. What I need is the voices, not the 2da files (I can adjust them myself).

if u can do this for NWN1 version i would be so happy ^^ I wanna use Neeshka's voice for my rogue ^^
Not sure if I catched all voicesets from the vault, if something is missing, please drop a line, so I may add it.
I haven�t touched NWN1 for a quite some time. AFAIK the sound files and the voiceset.2da are the same format for NWN1 and 2, so putting it to work with NWN1 shouldn�t be too much of a deal. If I can figure out how to throw everything into a .hak file for use with specific modules at one point, I hope I can make a NWN1 and NWN2 version. _________________________ 33 Voicesets for NWN1 and NWN2: Link

Since you can do this for [email protected] you collect all the different voicesets on the vault into one package for NWN1..please..and no override version? _________________________ Imtherealthing
