English vs EN-US
Hello all. I've just finished installing DA:O for the first time, and looked up the options a bit. I intend to start playing tomorrow evening at the beginning of the week-end, but until then, I have a little curiosity. I noticed in the game's options the choice between English language and English-US. Can anyone explain what's it all about? I don't assume they recorded every line in the game once in proper English / British, and once in US accent... Am I right, am I wrong? I assume VO means Voice Over (audio). What is the difference between the two options, and which one to choose?

Thank you.

I understand this is an older question, but I'm also curious if anyone knows.

It's probably British English and United States English. Do not quote me however

So would that mean different accents? Because I agree that it doesn't seem likely that they would record every line in a different way for the dialects

It's subtitle spelling. British and US english spell some of the same words differently. Otherwise the voiceover is the same.

Oh okay, this makes a lot of sense! I've noticed some spelling differences but never put 2 and 2 together, thank you for the clarification.
