Go to the mods nexus mods page and choose the avatar you want

how do you choose which portrait is used?
Lord von Games 2 Nov, 2024 @ 2:44pm 
Cool! I've always advocated for player choice in the antagonist (not just male, not just female). Kudos.

I'd actually prefer NO voice over, over AI voice over. Also the use of voice changer tools would be possible.
But maybe I can somehow turn off the AI voice in the mod.

I just tried this mod and the npc talk over each other in the tutorial. I noticed other people have the same issue. Just letting you know.

Hey I'm a professional VA with a home audio booth and I'd be happy to help out with this
Sanguine Kaiser 14 Apr, 2024 @ 11:20am 
Okay, at the risk of sounding dumb how exactly do you apply on of the other portraits you've posted on Nexus? Downloading one of your Nexus files and putting it in the mod folder did nothing; it didn't even show up on the mod list at the title screen.

In the career when you die there is a "I have lost him" in the game over message.
HungryHedgehog 3 Mar, 2024 @ 12:44pm 
I will keep an eye out!
SankaraSamsara  [author] 3 Mar, 2024 @ 4:45am 
@HungryHedgehod: Yes, I actually did that for the tutorial. But I don't know which lines throughout the game where they use the 'he' pronoun. If you can tell me which missions where they do it, I can reconstruct new lines (but maybe not subtitles)
HungryHedgehog 2 Mar, 2024 @ 10:11am 
Is there a possibility to edit the audio of other people so they stop misgendering you? Kinda like with the Lady D mod for Deus Ex? In that they looked for s sounds and put them infront of "he" for example.

I second volunteering for voice acting. I have some experience voice acting for indie projects but not really a comprehensive portfolio. my mic isnt the best in the world either but Im willing to try and see how it turns out.
caraasters 23 Dec, 2023 @ 5:14pm 
no VA experience and my mic is by no means wonderful but voicing sounds fun! should i like, shoot you a voice sample or something?
Black Hole 19 Oct, 2023 @ 2:29pm 
Yeah I got it to work.
SankaraSamsara  [author] 19 Oct, 2023 @ 2:11pm 
@megatron: you may have another mod that's overriding the mod.
Black Hole 17 Oct, 2023 @ 7:42pm 
I still get male voice so kinda pointless.
Sparrow with a machine gun 11 Oct, 2023 @ 12:28pm 
Must have mod!

Keep the weed on fire ;)
SankaraSamsara  [author] 20 Aug, 2023 @ 8:54am 
There are portrait options on Nexus
Unfair Advantages 20 Aug, 2023 @ 8:35am 
how do you choose which portrait to use
Nova Flash 3 Aug, 2023 @ 3:46pm 
There are a few moments she sounds like the google translator voice, but for the most part feels so natural. Nice job!
Hexagoros 31 Jul, 2023 @ 7:19pm 
Can we have this for those two Garrison Commanders who gave the most lifeless, emotionless voice overs ever?
Badger BrownCoat 6 Jul, 2023 @ 5:12am 
I want so say thank you. ( and something else ) -
TY b/c my "toon" is a memorial to a fallen friend - and well, It's weird after playing her in other games to be forced to play her as "mason" ... I see your point about the scrapped story but see nothing in it that couldn't have had a character creator - at least for freelance mode if nothing else- more like the beginning of HBS battletech.
In addition; I bought thsi for my wife to play as well - she liked mwo- and borderlands, so- mw5 is pretty much... those two combined.
Now she ca play as her old MWO character - not as Mason.
Badger BrownCoat 6 Jul, 2023 @ 5:12am 
question: pm me if there's an easy way to give mechwarriors callsigns - the current names irk me.

and lastly; I was actually looking at voice actors for my own projects - so far I just found this, and the youtube video sounded really good in most parts.
Would you like me to see what I can do? I can all but guarantee a couple of my streamer buddies ; if not voice actors; would do it for the +1 to your work.
Either way,*just take my points* - TY.
if you have the "mechwarriors united" discord - ( for streamers in mwo community ) - that;s where I'll start for the unpaid help.
Ty again fo rletting us RP in our "light RP game" - TY
Vespitrium 18 May, 2023 @ 11:34am 
Oh, you updated the voice. Sounds a lot more natural.
Might want to update the description now, the youtube link now shows the old voice.
Gadjet85 3 May, 2023 @ 6:48pm 
Does anyone know if someone made something like this for ops officer? I cant stand that voice over. I hate it so much. Sorry to the actress but it's terrible.
Vesihiisi 11 Apr, 2023 @ 1:03pm 
Eeeh. I liked the silly portrait this mod had before. Is it possible to swap back to it somehow? Meow.
drkushka123 14 Feb, 2023 @ 5:02pm 
can u make an update i think their is bettre ai voice covers out their
v0idshape 30 Jan, 2023 @ 12:41pm 
Thank you for the quick answer. I don't have any other portrait mods, or anything I can think of that would be responsible, however the nexus version works fine for me.
SankaraSamsara  [author] 30 Jan, 2023 @ 5:26am 
no it isn't, it's the Kanea portrait in this mod. You must be running another mod then
v0idshape 29 Jan, 2023 @ 8:42pm 
Portrait is in an anime style instead of any of the images in the screenshots. Is this intentional?
Caruwr Eirin Gwlanus 24 Jan, 2023 @ 9:11am 
What an interesting mod, fair play :akuaku::crashthumbsup:
DommyMothy 13 Jan, 2023 @ 3:15am 
A mandatory mod for me, thank you! Made MW5 that much more playable for my first playthrough.

I feel way more comfortable and can identity more with the immersion they intended before cutting a female protag during development.

Grondus 31 Dec, 2022 @ 11:17pm 
What AI did you use for this?
Erinyes 1 Oct, 2022 @ 11:18am 
Added you!
SankaraSamsara  [author] 1 Oct, 2022 @ 4:04am 
sure, go ahead erinyes
Erinyes 30 Sep, 2022 @ 10:45pm 
Hey, I can do va work if you need/are still looking. Can I add you?

Devoras 26 Jul, 2022 @ 3:43am 
Thank you so much! Take my points! :steamthumbsup:
Aurum 22 May, 2022 @ 11:36am 
The AI voice in this mod has better voice acting than the actual original protagonist's voice actor in this game, lmao.
DJ_Edyo 27 Jan, 2022 @ 11:07am 
Hey, ive added you trough steam so we could talk about this mod, if it interests you, id like to request a new version published to a few more new possible faces to this mod.
SankaraSamsara  [author] 7 Jan, 2022 @ 6:18pm 
@DJ_Edyo: Unfortunately tinkering with the other dialogue would mean changing up the actual voice. So the character would all of a sudden change to a different voice and then other people would complain about that.

I cannot change the cinematics unfortunately.
DJ_Edyo 6 Jan, 2022 @ 6:49pm 
This is the greatest addition, as an MW2 Merc fangirl, this mod is so great ! <3
its a big mistake form PGI to have canceled such a crucial character customisation feature for this title, i can finally feel comfortable & identify more whit the pilot im playing as ! Thanks !

Also, If your still actively working to make this mod better, like to ask a request:

Could it be possible to fix the cinematic video's & some of the ingame dialog's too ?


Some of the game start dialog's & cinematics are super corny because everyone calls you "Boy" or "Son", considering this female protagonist replacement mod you making, fixing this whit gendrer-neutral pronons like "kid" or "commander" or silence them, would make this mod so much more immersive !

Grabbed from 'BATTLETECH' I see...
SankaraSamsara  [author] 7 Oct, 2021 @ 11:12am 
sumdwed, it's just putting the .wem files manually in the modoverride folder with the same structure as the wwise content folder instead of doing all that through the editor.
sumdewd 2 Oct, 2021 @ 3:29pm 
I have been dying to do pilot voice editing for a while now. Just curious how you figured out how to replace the audio? Great mod though!
Operator 29 Sep, 2021 @ 1:19am 
thanks for this! goes great with the mod i made.
Strayed 27 Sep, 2021 @ 12:52am 
Very nice, well done

I subbed to this one but I downloaded the Nexus mods version for the Lara Croft version

I confirm it works for the latest DLC - Kestrel Lancers
