Whilst half asleep last night a question came to mind.

Many people hack their games with gibbed so as to make M/M and F/F romances in ME2. Of course, in order to do this, the Shepard in question is left without spoken dialogue for those scenes, seeing as they were never recorded. The actors still move and do what they should, but Shepard ends up voiceless and 'speaks' only in subtitles.

Is it possible to create .tlk files that the game could access in these scenarios? Lip synching is done with an algorithm if I remember correctly, so the actor should be able to 'speak' these 'new' lines.
Is it, then, possible to re-record every line in the game and make entirely new voices for Shepard? We are of course able to extract all dialogue for Shepard so we'd know all lines we need to record.

If this is possible, how would we go about doing this?
There is a .tlk reader and decompiler -- Is there a way to do this in reverse?

I'd be very interested in making new voices for Shepard. I think it could be fun, and really change the gaming experience.

The M/M and F/F romance lines were actually recorded although don't know how easy would be to get them. And from what I understood of modding (I didn't bother much with it) you can't change those game files. But a program like that used to use other textures could probably do it. So I wouldn't say impossible, but it would be a lot of work and would require programming knowledge.

Hmmm. Creation of new ones for those aforementioned sequences might be more of a problem. However, with the standard gameplay lines, wouldn't it really just be an issue of creating valid .tlk files with the exact same names as the files already present and replacing? Kind of like the process one uses to make a custom avatar on these forums.



It's probably more complex than that (most things are) but I find it difficult to believe it's impossible, just due to the sheer versatility of the PC.

Edit, ignore.

Yeah, I was dorking around looking for what you mentioned before, but no luck so far.

Surely someone has done this, though.

I didn't said it's impossible. But from what I know you can't change those files directly, you will need a program to make the game load those lines. You should try ask on the modding thread. I'm sure someone with more experience could help you with that. I still didn't get bored of the regular game to start modding so I don't know how the changing in game files work in ME.

Sorry I didn't mean to imply that you said it was. I'll have a look there. Thanks!
