From the looks of it several sets of quests and lines were cut, what a shame!

Table of Contents

Module/Plot/Level Cuts

Most of this is pieced together from the voicesets/voicelines and some random leftovers in the modules.

...

These are the SSF voicesets and what they're used for, if anyone. Not listed here is any PC voicesets included in SoU.

Since voicesets are commonly tied to voicelines, it'll reference them and we'll carry on that work further on.

Assam Aljurdye (?)

(Listen to vs_nx0assmm_050.wav)

AssamFullvs_nx0assmm.ssfvs_nx0assmm

Assam. A cut NPC - or at least temporary companion? Presumably from the Interlude onwards (maybe it was once longer and not just an interlude).

"Maneaters" and "Asabi" are mentioned as well as "the Madusa" so presumably went into the final chapter. Has a daughter who is also absent from all sources except voiceset (and likely portrait).

Reused for PC voiceset "Human, Male, Desert Warrior".

AyalaAyalaPartialvs_nx0ayalf.ssfvs_nx0ayalfChapter 1, Ayala. Has voiced lines 50 through 60. All voiced lines are used.
Corith DrammarCorith_DrammarPartialvs_nx0cortm.ssfvs_nx0cortm

Has voiced lines 50 through 59. "I am Corith Drammar, High Priest of Mystra" and a variant ending with "Thank you for saving my life"

Mentions a tower, and seems to be either stuck, injured or whatever outside of it (in the ruins) and a puzzle involved in it.

"You stand in the ruins of the great citadel of Undrentide" means probably Interlude or Chapter 2. Also mentions Heurodis so knows about them as well.

"Elf, Male, Wizard" in toolset. Seems to have a likely portrait.

Cskikil

(said out loud in vs_nx0csskf_052)

MedusaPartialvs_nx0csskf.ssfvs_nx0csskf

Unused female NPC for snake/lizard-like people. Floodgate or Bioware reused this voiceset for a "Medusa" which isn't quite right since her attack lines mention the Seatung Tribe. Might be worth redoing the Medusa SSF to be just her non-specific lines or just attack noises like other monsters. Funnily enough her original voiceset line was made into "Medusa, Handmaiden" and another one added for just "Medusa".

Lines 50 through 62 present so quite substantial.

Cskikil is "Shaman of the Seatung Tribe". Is a healer. Has a portrait see further down. Not sure if they even have a model to be honest. Snake person of some kind?

Has a mate "Tarnical" (sp?) who apparently you can rescue.

Wants "the blood of our sacrifice" which is vague.

"Those who once dwelled here named this city Undrentide" so either Interlude or Chapter 2. More likely before the city takes off? Or maybe stuck on it afterwards?

Deekin ScalesingerDeekin_ScalesingerFullvs_nx0deekm.ssfvs_nx0deekm

Lines 50 through 74, seem to all be used. nothing to do with the Winds race left.

Dorna TrapspringerDorna_TrapspringerFullvs_nx0dornf.ssfvs_nx0dornfLines 50 through 66, likely all used. Nothing to do with the Winds race left.
Drogan DrogansonDrogan_DrogansonPartialvs_nx0drogm.ssfvs_nx0drogmLines 50 through 84. Seems all used.
Belpheron's ConstructBelpheron_Construct
vs_nx0headm.ssfvs_nx0headm

A golem created by Belpheron (one of three). Would obviously be Chapter 2. The toolset name "Lich, Mage" is off - it's more "Lich's Construct" since the voicelines do refer to repairing and Belpheron in the third person - odd how it was named that way.

There are nice sets of voicelines suggesting all 3 need defeating. There appears some of them may be different - one being a solo head?

Drogan references Belpheron in the interlude:

82885    Our enemy is a powerful sorceress by the name of Heurodis. Little is known of her personally, but we do know that she was once apprentice to the dread lich Belpheron.

82886    Belpheron had spent all of his extended lifetime learning of ancient Netheril and its artifacts, and he passed this knowledge onto his apprentices. The Harpers thought all of Belpheron's students were killed when he was. Apparently they were wrong.

82887    But now we know what this Heurodis is after: she desires to obtain the power of the ancient Netherese mages for herself. Power beyond any magic practiced since the Empire's fall.

82888    This is why she seeks the mythallar... and why she has come here. With Belpheron's knowledge, Heurodis is more than capable of attaining this goal.

HeurodisHeurodisPartialvs_nx0heurf.ssfvs_nx0heurf

Our BBEG. Has voiced lines 50 through 98. I can't find all of them currently - only 050 through 066 in dialogue files, scripts and the TLK. Likely some cut content here.

Of particular note is the Winds race. This may have been before the raising of the city, in the interlude maybe:

  • Mastery of the North, South, East, West winds (of magic presumably) (is po_dwind_h.tga related?)
    • "Useless Trickster" on the West wind delaying her
    • A trap! (076) haha.
  • Suggests a race with the player to master them, and the player can get there first
  • Summons the winds of magic at the end of it
  • Can kill her and they keep raising from the dead (was this maybe intended for the end boss fight?)

Has a lot of laughing too. And some lines for losing the Mythallar.

J'NahJNahPartialvs_nx0jnahf.ssf

vs_nx0jnahf

vs_nx0jnah2

J'Nah controls the Gnolls, and obviously just betrays you, no other options in the voicelines alas.

Note vs_nx0jnah2 voicelines - 2 are incomplete/cut off and 1 is usable - possibly from a cutscene? Can't seem to find it in the source.

All other voicelines 50 through 56 are used.

KatrianaKatriana

Partial by default

Full if implemented

vs_nx0katrf.ssfvs_nx0katrf

Katriana the camp mistress. Lines 50 through 79. Only 50 to 69 are used and in the TLK file so 9 are unused.

Voiceset is partial on the SSF but can be made to be a full voiceset easily enough (would be good for PCs). Looks like it might also have the full voicelines in the TLK file too. See lines around 76064.

The voicelines 70 to 79 look like they are for a caravan to Miyeritar? (or something like it "Mar-ya-tar") Including pay? Bit confusing. This implies some significantly cut content though.

May have also been captured with lines ending in 79 and can be released. A bit confusing though.

Archmage LeomundWizard

Noted as partial/NPC only in toolset

Really Full

vs_nx0leomm.ssfvs_nx0leomm

This Leomund?! https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Leomund

Has a likely portrait unused in the campaign.

Alas no TLK lines referencing the man. It suggests he's a planar traveller so could fit in sort of anywhere.. His 54 voiceline suggests it's actually the interlude. He lets someone - presumably Garrick - know about where the "Lair of Belpharon" is. His work "here is much too important" so is somewhere inspecting something.

Alternatively it leads into the Belpheron's Constructs to find some item or other.

Mentions the item "Thermolabe" or similar (frankly can't place the name, voice line 53) and looks at a "shard" and mentions knowing Drogan.

Infamously this voiceset is marked as Human, Male, Blackguard! It's also really a full one that can be used for PCs or Henchmen.

Malthia DrammarMalthia_Drammar

Noted as partial/NPC only in toolset

Really Full

vs_nx0maltf.ssfvs_nx0maltfxxx

Voiceset is "Elf, Female, Noble" suggesting they were an elf. Matches a portrait quite accurately see below.

"Oh no, Father" suggests Corith is her father of course. He is apparently captured/held somewhere. Must be in Chapter 2.

"Shadowvar" (or something) mentioned to run from.

May be to do with the Winds race. Takes something for safekeeping.

Has a full voiceset. Suggested to be a Mage instead of a Cleric with some of her voicelines.

Could merit being a temporary companion given the full voiceset.

Mischa WaymeetMischa_Waymeet

Partial

But SSF can be expanded to full

vs_nx0mishf.ssfvs_nx0mishf Mischa Waymeet - more details there since she's ideal to reimplement.
Tymofarrar the White DragonNot in soundset.2da!Partial - but isn't in soundset.2da!vs_nx0tymom.ssfvs_nx0tymom

Need to reimplement into soundset into the game of course!

Voiced lines 50 through 61 which all seem used.

UppsalaUppsalaPartialvs_nx0uppsf.ssf

Is why a Female Ice Giant was added to the game. "My Fortress". Chapter 1 most likely.

Looking for an amulet from a "Meiser". Note there is a single leftover refrence to "uppsala" in the modules and that's for "UppsalasMark" item in xp1_checkupmark in chapter 1 of course.

Going on a "Barrow Raid" for an Axe.

Helps against Tymofarrar if you do her tasks. I wonder if the items were hers and they were stolen from her (by J'Nar? it implies if you talk to her first, she sends you to kill her for something)

Looks like it could be implemented. Her portrait suggests being in a human village.

Could use a tweaked model - the Frost Giant, Female is obviously her but with a helmet and slightly different legs. c_gntuppsala.dds texture (used on the frost giant female model) suggests it could get some more chainmail. Or just use the frost giant female as is, it's not that bad.

Xanos MessarmosXanos_MessarmosFullvs_nx0xanom.ssfvs_nx0xanomXanos. Has lines 50 to 67 all used. 68 implies something to do with the Winds search.

Portraits

Voicelines

Note all of these are cut content but are included here for completeness.

Note the voicelines are not in the TLK file usually, so they won't have proper subtitles so some guesswork is involved in the transcripts.

Asabi Thrall vs_nx0asabm

Asabi slaves in chapter 2. Has partial NPC voiceset.

vs_nx0asabm_05040160Hey, what's this?These top ones are used at the Chapter 2 starting cutscenes
vs_nx0asabm_05140161Ooh, pretty statue...
vs_nx0asabm_05240162Go on, take it! Master Ashtara will be pleased with us.
vs_nx0asabm_05340163I don't like the feel of this...
vs_nx0asabm_05440164Fine, I'll take it. Here, help me with this, will you?
vs_nx0asabm_05540165Are you sure this is the kind of stuff Ashtara wanted?
vs_nx0asabm_05640166Is there anything the Master doesn't want? Come on.
vs_nx0asabm_05740167Watch out!
vs_nx0asabm_05840168Let's get out of here!
vs_nx0asabm_05940169Not without the statue!
vs_nx0asabm_06040171No! The ground - we didn't mean for it to shake!
vs_nx0asabm_06140172We brought you a statue, Master...
vs_nx0asabm_06240174You wouldn't!
vs_nx0asabm_06340176Yes, Master Ashtara.
vs_nx0asabm_06475951Out of the way. Master Ashtara wants this passage cleared.These top ones are used as ambient dialogue
vs_nx0asabm_06575952*Cough* *Cough* Curse this dust!
vs_nx0asabm_06675953Be grateful. If you were still a statue, this could be you we're smashing.
vs_nx0asabm_06775954Ow! Blast and bother, I didn't need that toe anyway...
vs_nx0asabm_06875955You better do as the Master says. We've got this cave-in under control.
vs_nx0asabm_06975956*Sigh* I don't think we're ever getting out.
vs_nx0asabm_07075957I'm starting to feel a little claustrophobic. You?

Ashtara vs_nx0ashtm

Slave owner in chapter 2. Has partial NPC voiceset.

FilenameTLK LineTLK entry or TranscriptNotes
vs_nx0ashtm_05040170So is it you I have to thank for the collapse of our escape shaft?These top ones are used at the Chapter 2 starting cutscenes
vs_nx0ashtm_05140173I see what you brought me! Why do you think I haven't killed you yet?
vs_nx0ashtm_05240175Don't tempt me... I want that passage cleared at once!
vs_nx0ashtm_05340177So, my precious work of art, we are alone...Creepy sod ain't he.
vs_nx0ashtm_05440178There's more to you than meets the eye, isn't there...
vs_nx0ashtm_05540179Oh yes, so lifelike, so unlike the stylized form that was popular in ancient Netheril...
vs_nx0ashtm_05640180Here, let me place this collar around your neck... Can you feel that?
vs_nx0ashtm_05740181Soon you will... It's a slaver's collar. An enterprising merchant makes his money in any way he can, you see...
vs_nx0ashtm_05840182We used to transport slaves like this, as stone across the desert...
vs_nx0ashtm_05940183No need to feed you, nor waste our precious water on your parched throat...
vs_nx0ashtm_06040184Within the hour, you will be able to feel your flesh again...
vs_nx0ashtm_06140185When that happens, my slave, come speak with me in the adjoining room, for I have need of you...
vs_nx0ashtm_06275969So it appears you have become my slave a little sooner than I had expected. It's a pity, really... Statues are so much easier to transport.From normal dialogue later.
vs_nx0ashtm_06375970Your task is not yet accomplished, my slave. What can I do to aid in its completion?
vs_nx0ashtm_06475971The guardians fall silent. You have done well, my slave. My thralls continue to work on the passageway but we are not free yet. For my own safety, I will not remove your collar but you are free to wander where you will.
vs_nx0ashtm_06575972Ah, the slave returns to his master's feet. Have you seen all the glories of Undrentide? Do you come to me bearing her greatest treasures over your shoulder?

Assam Al Jurdi vs_nx0assmm

Assam. A cut NPC - or at least temporary companion? Presumably from the Interlude onwards (maybe it was once longer and not just an interlude).

"Maneaters" and "Asabi" are mentioned as well as "the Madusa" so presumably went into the final chapter. Has a daughter who is also absent from all sources except voiceset (and likely portrait).

Reused for PC voiceset "Human, Male, Desert Warrior".

There are no TLK entries (except for his voiceset) so nothing but transcriptions for his voicelines.

Portraits

There are several unused portraits that were intended for specific NPC characters. Some were made available to PCs and some were toolset only contentThere are several unused (but available to use in the toolset) portraits.
