I have a lot of thoughts and opinions. I never said they were good ones or based on personal experiences, hahaha. However, I have played a lot of game mods, in general, for a variety of other games. (But also mods within AoEā¦ just not campaign ones.) So, from that perspective, that is the experience I draw from And Iāve heard a lot of questionable voice acting and an array of voice-recording equipment used in those modsā¦ for better or worseā¦ usually with a great difference from just one character to the next within the same mod because voices are being recorded in different homes. Thatās awesome in its own right, and is kind of charming it itās own way. But itās often a stark difference in quality compared to pro voices/music being recorded at the same studio, or with consistent levels of recording quality and equalizing with pro equipment available to studios and their budgets.
Thatās awesome. Thanks for the recommendations! I havenāt done much in main campaigns eitherā¦ but Iām hoping V&V will open my eyes much more to this, where mods will be bigger priority in future. Itās nice to have some nice mods to consider if/when that time comes, so I appreciate this
Did you know Filthydelphia posted this here a couple years ago? A couple of these are what I played so far of his:
Aside from that, I remember trying Attila the Hun and Joan of Arc, but never got too far in them. I enjoyed certain aspect of them, but Skirmish matches have sucked up all my AoE time over the years, lol
For now, I will wait to see how V&V goes before going into more campaign/scenario/mod stuff. And even that will be difficult, because Baldurās Gate 3 is taking up a lot of my free gaming time at the moment
Sounds like youvāe been busy! Thatās quite a contribution to do mods for the game. I have a feeling itās not easy, quick, or simple work, and draws on your individual creativity. So thatās great! I hope Patreon and the Indie route prove nicely successful for you!
