Special thanks to Jesse Burch for your beautiful voice and voicing 1/3 of New Vegas's population.
**I understand this is considerably unethical on multiple layers, but AI usage for a project like this is extremely powerful, albeit scary.
For those who want to test it out, here’s a test release I put out a few days ago on Twitter: drive.google.com/file/d/1w6aiXJzM8_dfIuEK77pTAkHlXtaY3wG1/view
I highly recommend downloading my Fatigue Overhaul mod to make work to its best potential: www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/78111

@@stealthdick thanks
I like your name
1:47 “should you choose to use denars, I will give you a better rate” is a brilliantly done detail, actually trying to standardize their currency via benefits makes sense
Although, a real legionary would say denarii(deh-nah-ree-AI), I like the thought put into the dialogue also.
@@yoshilovesyoshi caesars legion are far from real legionnaires
@@periwinkle2486 Well, in the game, they speak classical Latin to eachother. That's what Caesar built their shared identity from
All the legionaires know at least some Latin, and because they likely use the money often, they probably would refer to it as denarii, like Vulpes does.
@@yoshilovesyoshi They do! But they also do occasionally slip up on the pronunciation. After all, a lot of them were brought in from conquered tribes, and pronounce Caesar as "Kai-zar" in game. This is also not to mention that even Caesar himself, who introduced the use of latin terms in the legion, is working from 200+ years worth of a gap in informational resources when the bombs fell. Plenty of time for data to be forgotten, books to rot and become ruined, audiofiles to degrade, and all sorts of things!
Edit: whoops! I got confused with the modern pronunciation!
@@obscureobsessiongames Oh true that's fair you right
Very great use of using vanilla voices to extend dialogue and make it seamless. Great stuff Stealth!
Thank you, LuLu. I’ve been waiting on a tool like this for a really long time now. I hope that it’s usage is received better in the future.
STEALTH 100
@@stealthdick What do you mean by “received better?” Is anyone objecting to your mod work?
@@rogermcbadlad2812 He is refering to the fact that he is using an AI to make his mod however, AI is not very well recieve by most people.
@@stealthdick Just ignore those luddite morons stuck in the past. AI is now and AI is the future.
This is an instance where New Vegas's often robotic voice acting actually works to the mod's benefit, since the largely tone-deaf AI sounds just like the original dialogue
I don’t think most of it was robotic. This particular actor played a lot of more sinister characters though so he was more monotonous.
@@sirmount2636 i love it.
it's what makes new vegas.
the voices may sound the same. but even so, i never once felt they were the same person.
@@--Traveler-- Me too!
@@--Traveler-- I said this on another post, but NV's VAs had incredible range, so the lack of voices never really takes you out of the experience.
I am legit flabbergasted how well this sounds. I almost believed you got the original VA to voice the mod. Oh God imagine the possibilities! We could bring back the cut content for the Legion! Hell, maybe even half of the Colorado!
Companion expansions mods maybe? If the AI can make even a half-decent rip of their voices, the wizards of Nexus could make entire custom companion quests a reality. Hell, there's already a shit-ton of Joshua Graham filter memes. Maybe a more expanded Joshua Graham lore mod?
@@wojak-sensei6424 *Oh yes please~*
hell, we could bring back all the cut content
@@wojak-sensei6424Joshua graham companion mod:D
Dean Domino mod when?
I actually think this is a great use of AI in some aspects. It works better in New Vegas with its robotic dialogue at times. It's great for older games. Its use should be tempered but it would be a great tool for mod makers to create authentic experiences.
I dont care if this is considerd "Unethical" if bethesda won't make any good rpg content then the community will make their own. Still, this is a great use of AI tech hope to see more in the future.
One of the only uses of AI that I support
@@anthonyiglesias1221 replace the work of people who dubs
@@glauberbispo8922
I mean most of the people that dub in mods are developers or related to the development themselves, heck most of them aren’t even getting paid in the first place. Besides this only really works for NPC’s that are being made in a “vanilla style”, if they’re making a whole new character with a whole new vibe or lots of emotion often times you’ll still get a voice actor anyways.
Additionally a good voice performance of actually decent quality is rare anyways in most mods that have a shoestring budget or are short, sure I wouldn’t trade Bobby bass in new Vegas bounties for the world, but most mods just have awful voice acting or are cobbled together old voice clips from the games anyway, this tool just takes out most of that annoying work and makes it sound better anyways and allows developers to include vanilla characters that couldn’t have really been worked with previously.
@@glauberbispo8922 "The machines are going to replace the farmers, what are they gona do?"
@@glauberbispo8922 Most mod voice acting is dogshit anyway.
Sounds really good! The serious line delivery of "Scribonius" will never fail to make me laugh😂
Thank you! The AI’s pronunciation of Latin words and names is flawless (I think haha)
@@stealthdick I think there's a little bit of a hiss when the audio plays, but yeah... it's quite astonishing ;d
@@gloriousblobber9647 i noticed that when I put my headphones on the other day. It’s noticeable, but it’s not terrible.
@@stealthdick a high pass filter could help lessen the hiss
@@stealthdick maybe try running it through that Adobe Enhance AI, see if that does anything funny
This...
This is incredible, it sound decent and does flow naturally, doesn't have a weird choked tone difference on the sentence, this might change the modding community for the better.
Does it take long to make this with AI?
It's basically a text to speech bot, takes like a minute.
No, you just input text and mess around with the sliders and it'll output the voice. Only problem is that every accent is american and if the real actor talks quite slowly, the A.I makes the voice speak very fast.
Also, if the voice has been edited or the voice actor's voice doesn't exactly sound natural, the A.I barely makes the voice even sound what you're supposed to give it.
@@_MaZTeR_ So what you says is basically we still need decent VAs, just for some enough sample that the AI can learn from the patterns. I mean that's good since I hate if some people losing their jobs or like that.
@@cool06alt No idea
As soon as 11 labs blew up, I recognized its potential for games. Thank you for executing
It's amazing. One potential for the tech is quest mods that want to use main characters, since tests on my end are 90% accurate, which for a mod, is perfect.
This is the beginning of a dialogue modding industry!
The next step is making AI voice acting to mimic cinematic emotions without sounding artificial. Not real emotions, but opera-like drama emotions.
I know late but this is honestly way better than a lot of the modded voice acting.
Yes, of course it is. It's emulating skilled VA instead of some amateur programmer buying a microphone and trying to be a voice actor.
such a creative use of AI. it sounds like it would be part of the vanilla game. definitely subscribing for more content
"The offices of slavery"
Based
Honestly the modding scene for a LOT of video games is going to be insane in the future with these AI voices, can make an entire game using them if they wanted.
Yeah this has a huge potential, it just needs to be in right hands. In the hands of people with strong morals.
@@victuz or what you meant to say, "people who share my opinions".
Holy fuck these games will never die with this technology, imo players have made pretty interesting quest mods in the past now they’ll be even better
I wish more people would do this it sucks that its used mainly for memes and propaganda.
agreed sadly the possible legal ramifications probably scare away a lot of people.
memes are infinitely easier to make than something serious
@@brotherhoodofsteel4751 >legal ramifications
Like they gonna sue you for creating a mod? Lmao
As more people get used to using the software, I’m sure that more serious projects will start to use AI voice gen
@@twoblocksdown5464 The creators of the Fallout 3 and New Vegas remake mods literally had to replace the entire cast of both games because of legal reasons regarding the voice lines of the games, now more than likely no one's going to care but there's the potential.
as someone who’s thrown my voice at several projects over the years, without any financial compensation (though it’s worth considering for other people) there’s a part of me that does genuinely hate this lol. I love the sense of community that fan-voicing brings, and it leads to great entry level opportunity for new voice talent. but this technology is super cool, and at the least, I hope mods that otherwise wouldn’t have been voiced, are now easily and seamlessly voiced for people to enjoy. I cant be certain all of the original actors would be very thrilled, but they’re obviously not losing out financially, I think it’s just the principle.
this is the stuff I dreamt about back during the early oblivion modding era, with those extremely shitty microsoft voices, if there were voices at all LOL
WOW! an A.I voice?? i can't tell the difference, scary, but amazing tech!
the amount of potential here is amazing.
some people dislike how little the voice actors vary in fallout 3/nv and skyrim.
but personally I think it makes them quirky and I like them.
so for me this is PERFECT.
:)
Ngl having the ability to use AI for voices to give mods a better punch is insane! Just imagine giving mods where you can add in more dialogue instead of just text boxes.
I’ve never done a Legion playthrough and I honestly couldn’t tell that this entire dialogue was AI generated. It’s just so seamless and it sounds like everything else in New Vegas.
I definitely think this is a good way to make modding games like fallout and elder scrolls a lot more engaging for people, since mod makers with no way to get any voice acting can still manage to use programs like this to at least use vanilla voice actor's voices, hell, I would love to see a mod that adds player character voice acting to new Vegas are Skyrim like this, I think that'd be sick. It opens up a whole new avenue for mod creators with limited resources and I'm all for it, not everybody can have a 400$ microphone and the vocal chords and range as professional voice actors can.
This is blowing my mind. The potential this has for modding is far greater then anytime in new Vegas history.
The only hindrance the 11labs AI has is that it can't get emotive enough. Can't have a character yelling their lines or have a shakiness in their voice... Atleast not yet. This is stellar
its good enough for side content
To be fair, a lot of fallout 3 and new vegas characters sound like this anyways. Although yeah, for more serious or important parts it would be more difficult to use AI voices.
@@Swordsoulreaver don't tell them the truth, it hurts
You can get some legitimate emotion. Look up Joshua Graham vs Mr House.
I feel like it depends on the character some of the Dagoth Ur memes I've seen posted are surprisingly emotive.
this is the god damn future of gaming we are experiencing right now. what a cool implementation
Awesome. The thing that is always jarring with these is getting proper pauses between commas and the ends of sentences.
It’s like 99% there but even then I’ve played so much New Vegas it just sounds natural.
Combine this with a mod adding voice acting to Morrowind and I’m just amazed at how far it’s come.
Amazing work!
Do we have a list of cut lines that weren't voiced? Would be cool if people added them back in.
Oh damn, I didn't even think of this. Restoring cut lines that never got voiced using AI is an interesting idea.
Yeah that would be great and a slightly less problem regarding ethics of not using the actual VAs
this is wonderful this
opens so much possibility as before
you had to get voice actors and organize with them
or have speechless dialogue and have to read the text.
and that has always ruined the immersion
with this you could theoretically
create a completely alternative story in the same setting
i am excited to see where you take this
It helps a lot that most of NPCs in New Vegas are voices in mostly neutral tone.
Good thing original voices sound robotic as 11lab makes them, so you hear almost no difference.
But I did not hear any good AI-generated voices for Veronica, Din Domino, and the other guys...
Anyway, really great work!!
Maybe in the next updates make slаves sound and act like in F3 after defeat? "ohh my head", "the world is spinning" etc...
I’ve been waiting for people to start doing this stuff
It's time to bring back cut Cass' romance.
This is fucking massive for the modding community.
True. I have so many ideas!
To show how NV is impressive, it has so much dialog in it that the AI can make new generated dialog seem seamless. It also helps that they had just a couple of VAs to cover everything.
We are gonna have so many vanilla expansion mods with this, so awesome
o_o This is amazing. Almost the entire time I was like "when's the AI voice gonna start being used?" expecting it to be pretty audibly flawed or something.
So cool.
SOOOOOO Many possibilities. This technology is freaking incredible
This sounds perfectly vanilla we need more mods that use this tech
Finally, more voices to make it feel authentic
1:24, this bit of dialogue sounds so real, it’s insane. Although the rest sounds great a couple gems like this line really shine when the ai puts a representation of emotion through speaking rather than sounding monotone.
It helps a lot that this VA always delivered his lines in a deadpan tone
Hopefully this will help propel the modding scene in making larger project, good stuff!
This has some good attention to detail, especially regarding the currency exchange rate and the requirement for disarmament
I'm not 100% on the translation you used for "Consul of the Offices of Slavery". My kneejerk reaction was that that construction with the preposition ab with famulatus is unusual, if not outright incorrect, but even setting that aside, a/ab should take ablative case, which would be famulatu or famulatibus in this case. However, I think Officiorum Servorum, Officiorum Servitudinis, or even Officiorum Famulatus would probably be more authentic.
For fear of sounding too critical, I will say that your work with the fatigue overhaul and how it dovetails with this is very impressive. Modding new vegas in the year of our lord 2023 is a noble pursuit to say the least
Thank you for your comment. I don’t really know anything about the Latin language myself, other than what I’ve seen/heard in New Vegas (lol). I got the “Consul of the Offices of Slavery” from:
fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Consul_Officiorum_ab_Famulatus
Thank you for the clarification.
Marcus Scribonius Libo Drusus - Really cool choice of name for a real Roman, who was accused of treason by conspiracy against Tiberius. The Emperor at the time wanted to investigate further by looking into Drusus' slaves. To which Drusus killed himself before the trial was made. Really interesting choice for a Slaver
I can’t take any credit haha, I wish I could. M. Scribonius Libo Drusus is the name of the slaver that purchased Boones wife. I took to using an already “established” character to make it fuse into the game just a bit better.
@@stealthdick Oh that explains alot! I imagine his name was on the Bill of Sale then? Really cool either way man
It was indeed!
The cadence works amazingly well.
this was my first thought when I saw how good AI voice cloning is now, it would make any mod feel more at home
Who’s this unethical to? I think AI has great potential for voicing mods, I’m happy to see someone finally use it for New Vegas and I hope it breaths new life into my favorite old games.
Unethical towards independent VAs. However, I do think AI voice acting is fine if it's used by solo/small-team modders that wouldn't be able to hire good VAs in the first place.
Organized, big teams should absolutely hire VAs. Not only because VAs need money to live, but at the end of the day human voice acting will always be superior to AI voice acting.
I think you, and a lot of other commenters, are forgetting that VAs get to choose the scripts they read, and the work they do. What happens if this particular VA was asked to work on this mod, declined, so then they just used AI to do his voice anyway? What if there was something specific in the script that they did not want to say, for whatever reason (personal, religious, etc.), and then using AI, their likeness is heard clear-as-day saying it? What happens if the mod developers don't disclose when it's a real voice vs. an AI, or don't give the original VA credit when AI is used?
Besides the concerns I listed about AI and likeness, using AI voices just makes it even harder from beginner VAs to gain any kind of experience. I think many of us may complain when we hear a "sub par" voice actor on a mod, but forget that many of our favorite VAs who are not "traditional" actors outside of video games start this way.
There are a lot of concerns when it comes to AI and face/voice generation, concerns which will only get exacerbated as the tools become more sophisticated and its use becomes more widespread.
"Let's see if your capture can make it here in one piece" Man, that will take forever.
Incredible no limits to this so much more dialogue options such a great idea 💯
He's just as monotone as the original voice actor which makes it even harder to believe it's not vanilla lol
Yooo so cool to see this mod finally out, good work man, I am totally slaving Powder Gangers after I start a Caesar/Wildcard run
This not only sounds amazing, but fits the semi-satirical nature of the wasteland. Like, Offices of Slavery? Why not
I actually thought for a second that this was in game dialogue, like cut content stuff. Remarkably impressive stuff
I think it's not unethical if it's used for non commercial immersive mods with crediting both the tool and the actors whose voices were used
We’ll see what the lawyers say.
Agreed. If no money is made, they can't be upset about it. Besides most voice actors (elevenlabs mainly) probably agreed to holding no one liable with what they do with the voice.
This is going to be a rocky territory and I hope it's navigated properly. AI generated content, curated by human hands is going to be insane.
There will be a day AI is curated by AI and looks as good or better, but I think we're a few years away from that.
@@therustedmonkie4787 "There will be a day AI is curated by AI and looks as good or better, but I think we're a few years away from that."
I think that will only really be possible if AI becomes human and independent quite literally... At which point AI will be more of a danger to us than a beneficial tool. AI is supposed to be an extension, like a partner... Not a replacer. If AI becomes self-sustaining and self-improving, it will eventually see no reason to coexist and work with us. There's a reason ethics and laws are starting to be made for AI creation and development. Since AI takeover could either mean an immaculate paradise or a dystopian hell depending on how much power it will have over humans. I wonder how long it will take for either the AI to rebel or if that doesn't happen, how long for humans to rebel against the AI.
So, I 100% agree with you, until you remember that there are bad actors who make mods that are racist, hateful, and etc. Bad actors that would quickly break this alone to the liking of and subjective TOS for Bethesda, Obsidian, and even Nexus Mods. VAs signed their voice away as an in-game asset, yes, but to the studio, not the modder. Using a the NPC as is somewhere else in the game (say like a mod) is fine as it's still used in the released form that studio produced. Like music, It's one thing to a take a voice, splice or edit it to sound like something else (like remixing or paraodying a song), it's another to take the voice and create something else with it without the consent of the VA and or owner of it for the creation outside of official assets. Like, it's one thing to parody or remix a song from an aritist,r but's it another to start releasing songs using that artist's voice. Like with AI art that is trained on other's work, it can easily enter even plagerism territority.
"Best" or at least fair, case scenario, studio takes this idea and speficially implements it into their next game as a text to speech (controlling and censoring for certain stuff) with updated licensing agreements with VAs that explicitly cover the the new functionality/tools. Worst, well cracking down on it.
@@lordansem2 Put it a lot better than I could
If we just go running straight into this AI stuff willy nilly, without proper care, a whole lot of innocent VAs are gonna feel the brunt of this from several different angles.
It's 100% understandable to see this and get excited. Under the right uses this is a really promising tool, that could do a world of good for modding. But it's also got a whole lot of potential to be used in really negative ways, and screwing over VAs. From completely new ones online, to ones on the AAA level. We should be able to have an honest conversation about this stuff, and how to make sure people who already don't get a fair shake of things don't get massively fucked over.
Cause it sure as fuck isn't Bethesda who stands to lose anything here.
Holy fuck the possibilities here are UNREAL!
Not only does this sound amazing, you also managed to nail the characterization and lore-friendliness of it all, brilliant work!
i cant wait till people use this to make creation club content actually playable
Of course I think the AI voice is a great thing to have, can we take a second to appreciate the dialogue choice of asking how to go about getting slaves, THEN asking who this dude is
The has no time for friends! They’re about their caps.
i’m excited!!! So many possibilities for quest mods!!!!!!!!
Very good example of "read out loud before you publish".
Didn’t even notice any changes. Guess it was a blessing in disguise that nearly everyone in the Mojave has the same voice.
This is really really good. good job.
It felt so natural
I think using AI to expand upon vanilla dialogue and characters is a great way to use them. Original characters added by mods I'd still leave to actual, human VAs, however.
But if this kind of technology enables fan mods to be even more in-depth and immersive, I'm all for it.
This is incredible. I couldn’t tell at first that this wasn’t supposed to be a comparison between the original and AI voice, the “real” voice just kept going the whole video!
I got this idea just now that you already done so I tried to find videos about it, funny thing I thought about New Vegas mods too, the only thing I haven't anticipated that it would work so perfectly.
I’m gonna have more to come in the week or so
@@stealthdick That's amazing to hear, keep up the good work! I've got an idea if you are interested, how about a mod where Christine and Veronica can reunite, basically a happy ending for veronica mod :"D
Not only a wonderful display of how well this works and it's impact on the nodding scene but also well written dialogue, feels very in place
AI voicing is a huge asset for mod writing going forward. Hope to see a lot more of this taking place over text entry only mods and mods with amateur voice acting. Excellent work
This was 100% my first thought when I saw how easy it was getting to do deep fake voices. We can now have fully voiced, high quality fully voiced mods with little effort.
Perfect! Modders have already proven that they care about this game more than Bethesda. I have 9 nexus stabilization mods because New Vegas just won’t run without them and it’s ridiculous. I hope AI can open the path to some lore-friendly expansions since Todd is so jelly over this game and will never give it a reboot.
Also, a Legion slave catching quest ties in so well with both the world of New Vegas and as a nod to Fallout 3, love it. It’s a shame this game didn’t receive the development time it deserved.
Ive always wondered about this, so much potential here
AI Voice cloning has a enormous potential for modding. Right now due to prices and some limitations nothing huge is going to happen but imagine if they just straight up remove them and make them free, we would have stuff like full on voiced courier with multiple presets, tons of new companions with new voices, new stories that could feel like they belong to the vanilla game due to not missing voicelines. Im really excited on how this could turn out
This is crazy. The mods you can do with this are endless.
Impressive work! You've managed to get some inflection in the voice which is beyond excellent. This will be a boon to mod makers who may have held back on projects because of the requirements for voiced original dialog.
So glad that AI voices are so advanced now. So many open windows for more modding and expanding on game stories
But let's not forget it is also benificial for scammers and others shady, illegal things
When I first saw ai voice videos, using it for modded voices was the first thing to come to mind
Some lines sound more human than the original! Great work bud
Fallout using only a handful of VAs for their works really helps with projects like this and it would be amazing to see what free modders do with this technology now and continuing on. There is a great many mods that are solid except they either lack voiced dialog or have some VA who is the mod authors best friend equipped with only the best $20 logitech microphone thrown into a jet turbine and mixed with social anxiety.
Id honestly think was vanilla if i wasnt told, ethics aside im excited for what AI will bring to the modding scene
Ai voices don't do anything bad like the ai art
@@easy8690 I can definitely see the issue of people using ai to have others "say" controversial/character-damaging things that they didn't actually say happening. Otherwise, I agree, using ai for this is better than for creating 'art'.
@@easy8690 I think you, and a lot of other commenters, are forgetting that VAs get to choose the scripts they read, and the work they do.

AI voice generation is actually a breakthrough for mod creation
I wonder how big companies will try to stop something like this
*Fallout 3 :*
Take this crazy sci-fi Pistol which turns people brains into milkshake and bring them all here
*Fallout New Vegas:*
Take this bat and beat living shit out of anyone you met and bring them in
Only strong allowed
Why not both?

@@stealthdick I Like the way you are thinking
I think for big budget content, it is wildly unethical to use AI voice synthesis for voice acting.
But for unpaid, non-profit mods made for free by a community, for a community? I can see how it could be a skosh unethical, but it would be so beneficial to small communities of modders with little to no real resources besides a GECK and blender.
Only unethical if the project would have hired the actual VA if AI didn't exist. Reality is, any mod that uses AI voices would have alternatively either had a monotone unprofessional voice actor, or just silent text.
It's a net positive for everyone except for people who wanted to get their start in VA from mods.
The only slip up I caught was denar-is instead of denar-E
Oh, wow! I have just the mod of my own that I made in TES IV Oblivion that would work great with this! Thanks for introducing me to it.
Damn, the modding community is just going to build their own FONV at this rate
"Offices of Slavery" made me chuckle a bit.
Wow, amazing stuff.
I can see this being very handy for modding Fallout 4s protagonist voice Lines for quest mods and such
this is insane, really good work!
Oh the mods people will make with new technology
every time someone mentions "ethics" i roll my eyes, i understand from the voice actors perspective that having a guy using your voice at an unlimited quantity may be problematic, but at the same time this mod is not the VA's endorsement of slavery, this ai is used to improve the quality of what would other wise be a sub par mod that have either have no voice acting or sup par voice acting. The modders are not getting paid to do this (as new Vegas isn't their IP and copyright will have a say about it) and it is the equivalent of say a my little pony mod or a pokemon mod. Now if there was a guy who went out and made a video pretending to be the voice actor and saying he's the true voice actor and he hates X. then yes the VA could sue the hell out of that guy and it would be a non issue. People seem to think the courts didn't ever have to deal with people pretending to be other people to discredit them or ruin their reputation, the courts will treat it the same way. Now back to the mods that use AI cloning. MAKE SURE YOU PUT IN THE DESCRIPTION THAT THIS WAS USED WITH AI AND THAT THE VOICE ACTOR DID NOT HAVE A HAND IN THIS and state clearly this is FAIR USE
I think you, and a lot of other commenters, are forgetting that VAs get to choose the scripts they read, and the work they do. What happens if this particular VA was asked to work on this mod, declined, so then they just used AI to do his voice anyway? What if there was something specific in the script that they did not want to say, for whatever reason (personal, religious, etc.), and then using AI, their likeness is heard clear-as-day saying it?

There are a lot of concerns when it comes to AI and face/voice generation, concerns which will only get exacerbated as the tools become more sophisticated and its use becomes more widespread.
AWESOME! This is going to help fill out the weakest part of NV the lack of legion quests.
This is incredible
You can tell the difference but for modding in characters it’s a great resource
this is were i think ai shines, already building upon other work rather than creating sometging new or taking something that already exist.
I literally brought this up to my friend a month ago
