An effective character swap mod needs to either disable all of those things or modify them to work with the new model, in addition to swapping the animations used and checking to make sure that the weapons normally issued to the Hero will work with the new model, and changing the voice would be a perfect way to top it off.
To my knowledge, no such mod has yet been made, at least not one that in-depth. But it would be a refreshing change to what is currently being mass produced.
