Voice Acting

[Sir Pelican]

I am sad to report that I did not see an option to revert the voice acting to the original. However, the voice acting generally has improved.

I've made a mod for you that will revert back to original voice acting :) Click the mods tab and you'll see it there

i like the new voice acting in general, yea i have huge nostalgia for the original campaign, but as far as i went this hasn't been a downgrade at least, just different thankfully

They literally redid the portraits and brought OG Arkantos VA back. They listened to SOME feedback for sure.

the mod doesn't change or fix all dialogue some during game play isn't old voices for all of them like Athena in level 2 she talking during game play with new voice instead of old and some campaigin cut scene voice are changed the text in cutscene shows original and new but the speech itself was different some weird problems like that

"the voice acting generally has improved"

this is a joke right?
everyone save Arkantos (cuz it's the same guy) is worst

Malageus sounds like a joke, Kastor never went through puberty, Odysseus sounds so calm so quit so soft spoken so peaceful which is insane when he's the main character of the freaking Odyssey, Athena sounds so lifeless and emotionless i swear to Zeus an ai could do better and i'm only 8 missions in, i can't imagian how badly they ruined everyone else

I found that the Egyptians and Norse were about the same in terms of quality and direction. It's really only the Greeks(And Kastor) that actually seemed to suffer from it and I suspect that's largely just because of voice direction moving toward more normal sounding characters, which did not at all fit with how they were written.

For example, Kastor and Malageus sound good quality wise. However as you said Kastor didn't get past puberty which really just shows they were like "Hey Kastor is supposed to sound like a 14 year old" and forgot/neglected that Trident Kastor and New Atlantis Kastor's voicelines take place 10 years apart. Again, AoMR Malageus sounds good quality wise, especially as a General type of guy, however I find that the problem here is that its just plain generic and unmemorable, while the original was exaggerated to the point of silliness(ATlanTEANS?!!!), it managed to made him very fun and memorable as a one off character.
