if i had the ability to do one thing in regards to skyrim modding right now it would be to re-balance ALL of the bard songs in Interesting NPCs to at LEAST half of their current volume, or probably even one third.
because they are "dialogue" they use the "voice" slider and are excruciatingly loud :(
i looked into the dialogues and the BSAs, but unfortunately they're not labeled in any intuitive way and, of course, they're all FUZ files, with which I have no experience x.x
i was really hoping i could just edit the static attenuation of individual lines like i've done for other sfx that seem too loud to me, but it doesn't seem to work that way for dialogue? :/
i was prepared to like, convert wxm files and edit them as mp3s and then convert back as loose files, but alas.
i thought there might be something to edit in the ai packages or the bard scenes themselves, but nothing jumped out at me.
it's to the point that i don't want to go anywhere one of those bards happens to be because they're a distracting, overpowering mess T-T
if anyone has any suggestions i'm all ears :/
