The Knights Errant have come to the Commonwealth (cancelled)
Project Overview
Hello everyone!
What do you add to a game that already has over 400 hours of gameplay? Mods that add companions and additional quests, that's what! I am looking for folks willing to record many lines (upwards of 100) for an upcoming companion mod to start development once the official mod tools for Fallout 4 are released. Everyone from the background characters to main companions has hundreds of lines of dialogue; everything from combat noises to reactions to player actions to random conversations with passerbys, so expect to do a little of all of that! I would like for the overriding characteristic for all of the roles to sound as relaxed and natural as possible. I'd love for auditions to be the closest to your own natural voies as you can manage.
As a note, character designs are subject to change.

Miriam is the newest addition to the Knights Errant, and will be the actual companion that will accompany the player. She speeks with a youngish tone, not too deep, not to high or shrill... a normal girl's voice if you will. She's around the age of 19.
Naturally talented and well trained by the others she is very well suited to mercenary work, though she has yet to fully discover her own sense of self worth and often affects a sense of false bravado to try to fit in with the others.
Being as new as she is, she is tasked to accompany the player to gain experience, and as she does she becomes more confident and more self-assured. What this means is she will require three sets of dialogue; the green and nervous version, the seasoned and confident version and the veteran version who kicks ass, takes names etc etc.
(Uncertainly) Uhm, Sir? There's someone in that room there. He doesn't look like a ghoul either.
(Conversationally) I’ve always been really good with guns... not much else to do when you live in a little town with nothing to do but shoot at mole rats all day. I was looking for a bit of excitement when these guys came along. It absolutely had to be fate I met Adrian when I did.
(Confidently, in combat) Get some of this, asshole!
The leader of the Knights Errant, he is both charismatic and well hardened to the perils of the wasteland. He speaks with a cool, informal and mildly sarcastic baritone (think Spike Spiegel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiPj113eka0). While they are mercenaries, he doesn't view the Knights as a business as much as a group of friends going on adventures. He is your typical party leader, and is the hero of his own series of adventures.
(In combat) Katrina, Elliot! Form up a defensive line. Rebecca, get us some good sight lines. New girl you’re with me. Get ready people… they’re coming!
(Conversationally) We’re the Knights Errant, wrecking the wasteland for fun and profit! Got some ancient technology you need found, we can get it. Need some raider’s heads busted open? Our pleasure.
(Just after fighting, but not relaxed) You did really good helping us out back there. We had it under control but I appreciate the help nonetheless. When we get out of here I'll buy you a beer.
Second in command, she is the most responsible member of the team, acting as treasurer, secretary and the voice of reason when the Knights might otherwise spiral out of control. Her tone should be medium and neutral, educated but not snobbish. Something capable of yelling at idiots or reminding people she could easily end them.
She and Adrian founded the Knights together and she can match war stories with any wastelander she meets.
(matter of factly) A lot of people think that we’re just gun toting prospectors, but we’re the real deal treasure hunters. Anybody could go out to an office building and dig up a toaster to put in their kitchen, but if you want a functioning Robco terminal come ask us.
(Annoyedly) We’re not going anywhere for the moment, not until we can get through this wall. You wouldn’t happen to have any high yield explosives would you?
(In combat) They’re coming down the north hall! Keep shooting! Don’t let them get in here!
The first addition to the Knights, this stone faced and ferociously intense trooper doesn't know much about life other than conflict. He's a man of few words and his motivations are largely kept to himself but he has never once let his crew down. For character motivation, I can think of none other than SGM Plumley from "We Were Soldiers," Gruff and indimidating but ready to take a bullet for his team. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWTXJ0GaYpM Don't worry about sounding like a gravely voiced old man, but if you can that'd be amazing.
These kids, I fucking swear.
There’s two things I know for sure in this world: One: There’s nothin’ can’t be solved with more bullets. Two: See number one.
Knock. Knock.
An eccentric, unusual, conniving and probably mad fellow, he happened to be hanging out at the right place and time to give the player a quest to meet the Knights. Feel free to be as eccentric as you'd like, but I'm envisioning a Captain Jack Sparrow type (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCDA-m-TQdU). Age, appearance and sex to be determined... the guy in the picture is just a random fellow at one of my settlements.
Oh hey there. Oh… oh you’ve got a soldier’s face for sure. You look like you can handle yourself…
I don’t suppose you might be interested in a little danger, eh? The call of a new… (theatrically) adventure?
Look, I’m not a soldier like you are. I’d just get myself killed but uh… I’m pretty sure you’ll make out okay! You’ll make quite a profit I’m sure! In order to cover me for all of the profit I’m turning over, I ask for a paltry sum of 200 caps! Heck of a deal, considering you’ll be making thousands of them, yeah?
A very charismatic and highly attractive character, she all but forced her way into the Knights by ruthlessly stalking them and making one attempt at stealing their thunder after another. She gets bored easily and loves to plunder but she's not above sharing with her team, as for sound think Faye Valentine (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tGzEudnA-M)
Just a note, Line 3 is a thing that the army uses to teach people to shoot. Breathe, Relax, Aim, Sight, Squeeze... in case anyone was wondering.
(Conversationally) I joined up with these guys because it seemed like fun. Sure as hell beats sitting around scamming drunk caravaners out of their caps and picking fights at bars.
(Eagerly) We could buy a loooooot of good shit for what this is worth. If anything, and I mean ANYTHING goes wrong here I'm goign to personally give some asshat a three-oh-eight lobotomy.
(Quitly, speaking to herself) Inhale... exhale... relax... aim... sight... and...
