Dropped in 2.2.8 because it causes a dialogue glitch.

[PlanetExp]

I couldn't stand that it affected ALL DIALOGUE in the game so I had to remove the mod. The problem is a known issue as it is posted everywhere but I'm repeating it here anyway. - It causes all dialog from ALL NPCs to be quicker with less pause in-between. Sometimes starting to say the next line without finishing the last one. Am I the only one with this issue on this forum?

I have never noticed that?!

No, I've had the same issue - with NPCs stepping over each others lines. Very annoying. Personally, I removed the ESP but kept the sound files. As a simple sound replacer, it's still not a bad mod.

Hmmm... I guess I'll have to pay closer attention to see if this happens.

[jakeslim]

Yes it has this effect in my game also. I believe it affects a global dialogue setting and so applies not just to songs but so spoken dialogue too. Can get very annoying...

IMO it's actually more realistic that NPCs stumble over their words and talk ahead of themselves... real people don't talk like in the movies. ;)

Well the problem is that they actually talk over each other. For example, when you first meet with Baalgruf, his housecarl and Provenicci will both be talking before they're supposed to, as if they were reading each other's minds.

I wonder if this is one of the reasons for the lip sync issue.

[torminater]

No, it isn't.

@Solmyr: well, when the same character speaks over his/her own lines with the same voice doubled you know something's amiss.

 

@phazer11: it's unfortunately a vanilla bug that seems the have been introduced with an update from Bethesda way back. That none have attempted to fix it must mean its either too difficult or everyone's hoping Beth will do it themselves someday.

 

 

Thanks

Testing this, I agree that the characters jumping over their own voices is most annoying. I suppose I'll test the other options.

"Slight pause between lines" version might fix this rather than the "no pause" version.

[torminater]

Good idea.

[CJ2311]

I had been using the "Slight pause between lines" version (since that's the one that was suggested in STEP when I first got the mod), and still had an issue with NPCs talking over each other.

Guess I should have mentioned the version I was using in my previous post.
