Description:

—>THIS MOD REQUIRES ALTERNATIVE MOD LAUNCHER FOR WOTC USERS<—[github.com]

TL:DR
This mod adds my own versions of the MEC voices and Blue Shirt voices from XCOM: Enemy Within.

Overview
  • The MEC voices have just over 500 lines except for MEC Male 1 who has about 45 less. Watch the rant video for details on that.
  • Blue Shirt voices have 269 lines each.
  • Individually adjustable volume for each voice via a config file
  • Cooked
  • Voice Patcher support, download it >here<
  • Works with both base-game and WotC, Voice Patcher only supports WotC
  • Not affected by attitudes
  • MEC voices available for normal soldiers, faction classes, and SPARKs
  • MEC voices will only randomly appear on SPARKs
  • Blue Shirt voices available for normal soldiers
  • Blue Shirt voices can randomly appear on normal soldiers

Detailed Explanation

Decided to rebrand the old ‘MEC English Voices Redux’ mod this was before into a more all-encompasing project that covers anything specific to EW. All content from the original MEC Voices mod is still included in this mod, and the internal names for everything is the same, so the transition should be seamless.

For all of the voices, manually sifted through all of their lines and resorted any that may be applicable to other contextually fitting events. Repeating that in English, I moved lines around so that dialogue plays more often.
The MEC voices also use some originaly unused dialogue from EW. As far as I’m aware, this is the first time any of it can be heard in a gameplay setting.

You can choose to only use the MEC voices on SPARKs, but just be aware that they have exclusive dialogue for many soldier-specific actions like:

  • Grappling Hook
  • Run & Gun
  • Serial/Reaper
  • Nearly every event that involves firing a weapon (Rupture, Rapid Fire, Lightning Hands, etc.)
  • Melee Attacks (Voice Patcher Only)
  • Icarus Jetpack (Voice Patcher Only)
  • Shield Wall (Voice Patcher Only)
  • Others I may be forgetting

All of the voices here are also missing dialogue for specific status effects, those being:

  • Burning from Acid
  • Burning from Fire
  • Poisoned
  • Disoriented
  • Mind Controlled

For many abilities, the voices also only use generic ‘Affirmative’ lines if no other pool of lines were applicable.
