    Default OOTS soundsets for classic CRPGs

    Hi! I tried posting about this in Gaming (Other)... perhaps it will be more successful here in the actual OOTS discussion, yeah?

    I'm currently doing a playthrough of Icewind Dale starring the characters of Irregular Webcomic's fantasy theme! Er, apparently as a new member I can't post links here without talking some more, but I don't really have much more to say, so... if you want to hear my custom Irregular Webcomic soundsets, search YouTube for "Irregular Webcomic soundsets". Sorry for the inconvenience.

    Anyway, when I'm done with that... if I ever get done with it, I haven't played since October, I gotta get back to the gamin'... I want to play Icewind Dale II starring the Order of the Stick! Trouble is, it's a lot more difficult coming up with things for the Order to say than it was to come up with quips from the Fantasy gang. Here's all I've got so far:

    Roy Action 1: Is that another "fighters are dumb" crack?!
    Roy Action 2: I have an MBA, you know.

    Haley Critical Hit: Sneak attack, bitch!

    Elan Stealth: Woooo! I'm invisible! You can't see me!

    Belkar Battle Cry: I am a sexy shoeless god of war!

    Durkon Forest: It's not the monsters of the forest I be fearin'... it's the trees!

    So, basically, just the really obvious stuff. Figured I'd try to crowdsource the rest, I'd be very honored if the OOTS forums would help me brainstorm other things they can say so I can create my soundsets.

    To create a soundset that can work in any game of Icewind Dale or Baldur's Gate, we need to come up with all of the following voice lines for each of the six members of the Order:

    Battle Cries (x5)
    Selected (x7)
    Action (x8)
    Rare Select (x4)
    Becoming Leader (x2)
    Tired (x2)
    Bored (x2)
    Injured (x2)
    Morale Failure (x2)
    Hit (x3)
    Dying (x2)
    Falling
    Daytime
    Nighttime
    City
    Dungeon
    Forest
    Critical Hit (x2)
    Critical Miss
    Spell Disrupted
    Weapon Ineffective
    Inventory Full
    Picked a Pocket
    Set a Trap
    Stealth

    So, once I have more ideas for these soundsets, I'll play Icewind Dale II with the Order and, as I did for the Fantasy party, also make the soundsets available for download so other people might get a chance to play, say, Baldur's Gate, starring the Order of the Stick, voiced by my theatre friends... I'm sure that sounds appealing to somebody. I'll have fun, at least.

    Falling (Roy): Do I have any potions that would help? Delay Potion?
    Falling (Durkon): Looks like I'll haf ta use tha old "Cleric's Feather Fall". Heal.
    City (Belkar): No nausea, no vomiting, no rash. We're inside city limits, right?
    Spell Disrupted (Belkar): Horrid Willow? Wow, you're not pulling any punches.
    Spell Disrupted (Durkon): Och, come ON! Wha it be NOW??
    Weapon Ineffective (Elan): Uh ... Fangs for the memories? (strip 438)
    Set a Trap (Roy): Trust me, I learned all about the tactical value of surprise back in Fighter College.

    I think that's quite a cool idea. First, please make sure if Rich is OK with using his characters like that, if you intend to publish anything, just in case.
    Here some possible ideas:
    Elan selected: Ooh! Pick me!
    Elan battle cry: Fight, fight, fight, fight the evil enemy!
    Elan injured: Clog clog clog,clog my bleeeding arteries!
    Elan picked a pocket: Pick, pick, pick, pick the pocket for a rally good cause
    Elan tired: I'm feeling groggy. Groggy, groggy, groggy.
    Haley inventory full: You can never have enough storage space.
    Durkon dying:I get ta go home...
    V Battle cry:Your demise is at hand, for I wield arcane power beyond your feeble reasoning!
    Belkar boredWhat a total waste of time.

    It will be easier if you explain what circumstances each line applies to. Not all of them are obvious.

    Hm, okay. Let's see, explanations, for those that aren't self-explanatory...

    Battle Cry - the character charges into battle
    Selected - you click on the character
    Action - you direct the character to perform an action
    Rare Select - usually comedic lines that sometimes unexpectedly take the place of Selected or Action lines
    Becoming Leader - you have placed the character at the head of the party
    Tired - the character is fatigued
    Bored - you've had the party stand around doing nothing for several minutes
    Injured - the character is at low HP
    Morale Failure - the character loses their nerve and flees in panic
    Hit - an exclamation when the character is struck with a weapon
    Dying - a death rattle
    Falling - not sure, maybe getting knocked out?
    Daytime, Nighttime, City, Dungeon, Forest - the character comments on the time or location

    V Spell Disrupted:. "I can barely concentrate enough to remember my words of power!" (Possibly add "Damnations!" to the beginning of the line.)

    V Critical Hit:. "This needs to be ended quickly and decisively!"

    Roy Rare Select: I've had nightmares that start this way.
    Roy Selected: Oh, this ought to be good.
    Roy Picked a Pocket: I guess I should take pride in finding a new and exciting way to disappoint my father.

    Durkon Critical Hit: Thor's might!
    Durkon Critical Miss: Thor's nuts!
    Durkon Morale Failure: THA TREES BE ATTACKIN! RUN FER YER LIVES!!!
    Durkon Action: Aye.
    Durkon Action: Ye can count on me.
    Durkon Stealth: I dinnae think this be a good idea

    Elan Battle Cry: Go for the eyes, Banjo! Go for the eyes!
    Elan Select: I'm so confused.
    Elan Action: Got it.
    Elan Bored: Hard work pays off in the long run, but laziness pays off right now!
    Elan Forest: I spy with my little eye something that begins with "T"
    Elan Critical Hit: Even I don't know how I did it!
    Elan Tired: I'm feeling groggy. That's a fun word to say. Groggy groggy groggy groggy groggy...
    Elan Rare Select: I'm on an adventure!
    Elan Set Trap: My mommy always used to say that cross-class learning was the key to a rich and fulfilling life

    Belkar Battlecry: It's like my birthday come early
    Belkar City: It's like the old song says: If I can kill it here, I can kill it anywhere.
    Belkar Bored: Who knows what I'll be trying to kill if I have to wait around for hours in one place?
    Belkar Action: Sounds like a plan, boss!
    Belkar Stealth: I have an idea. It starts with "s" and ends with "litting their throats."

    Belkar Critical Miss: DAMN IT!

    V Spell Disrupted: Thrice-cursed spell resistance!
    V Selected: What assistance do you require?
    V Rare Select: I don't understand. Weren't we converted to the new 3.5 edition? [IWD2 is 3.0]
    V Action: As you wish.
    V Action: As you command.
    V Action: Indeed.
    V Battle Cries: The time has come to end this battle
    V Critical Hit: Outstanding.
    V Critical Miss: That was not as effective as I would have hoped

    Haley Battle Cry: ...was that supposed to be an ambush?
    Haley Action: Don't mind if I do
    Haley Action: Sounds good.
    Haley Rare Select: I swear, if I randomly fall down and break the heel of my boot, I'm gonna find Wes Craven and kick his ass.
    Haley Rare Select: We were a lot safer when we just made fairly obvious jokes about the rules

    Okay, sweet! Good work. I did something similar myself, going through all the books for inspiration -- I've basically finished the sets, might use some of these suggestions instead of my own, plenty of time to finalize it, thanks so much for going to that trouble. :)
