This Deus Ex mod turns JC into a lady with fully redone voice linesImpressive!
Impressive!
Next time you go to replayDeus Ex(which will be within one week, now that I have put the idea in your head), perhaps you’ll want to try it with a twist. A brand new mod named The Lay D Denton Project turns JC Denton from a stoic fella into a stoic lady, complete with full voice acting and a script tweaked to fit. Meet the female JC in the trailer below.

“The performance strives to faithfully preserve the character of JC,” the creators say. “Every single line was performed directly after listening to the original Male JC’s read. While not blatantly copying every single line, the original performance was used as the primary anchor point for the line reads. Variations were only made after careful consideration.”
Some of those special new lady lines in the trailer seem a bit out of place and unnecessary to me. And so what if Mercedes hits on a female JC? Weird. JC is such a blank anyway. But yeah, JC herself sounds a decent stoic cyborg. I started a new playthrough to check her out in game and I’ll continue this way. It’s not the way I’d play the game for the first time but, you know, this is far from my first time playing Deus Ex.
You can download The Lay D Denton Projectfrom ModDB. Installation instructions areover here.
The Lay D gang plan to release the mod’s audio files so other modders can put her into their creations too, if they want.
I enjoyed the team’s explanation of the different ways they’ve cut and chopped words and sentences to correct for a female JC, some clever techniques:
Deus Ex turned 20 last year. Wetold an oral historythrough many people who worked on it, andtalked with Warren Spector, the game’s director. And yeah, it’sstill great.
