Legal Information ---------------- 1. Introduction ---------------- This mod provides a different soundset for Xan BG2 NPC: the original voicing by Jeff Bennett for Baldur's Gate I. It is available in English only. Xan, a non-player character from the first game in Baldur's Gate series, is a depressed elven mage - enchanter. Notable quotes: "We're all doomed." "Life is so hollow." "It is hardly worth the effort of trying." "What is the point?" "Our quest is vain." "Onward, to futility!" ---------------- 2. Installation ---------------- This mod should be installed AFTER Xan BG2 NPC. It is recommended to install this mod BEFORE meeting Xan in the game. Make sure that Baldur's Gate or ANY game-related utilities are not running, and that you are installing the mod into the correct directory. To install the mod, unpack it in your Baldur's Gate 2 directory and run Setup-XanBG1Voice.exe. The first component of the mod deletes other all Xan voicing for Xan BG2 NPC. The second component installs the BG1 soundset. Once you see the Readme, the installation is complete. If you already have Xan in party, select Xan and press K key. This should give him a new soundset. To reinstall or uninstall the mod, run Setup-XanBG1Voice.exe in your game directory. ATTENTION: To restore all Xan audio from Xan BG2 NPC, you need to reinstall Xan BG2 NPC. Please, be advised that other mods, namely Crossmod Banter Pack, still may have Xan's audio from Xan BG2 NPC. If you want to make sure, just open the override folder in your game directory, find and all .WAV files that start with O#Xan(exception: O#Xan.wav, Xan's romance music), and delete them manually. Do it BEFORE installing this mod, or, if you have already installed this mod, make sure to reinstall it later. ----------- 3.
