old voice-over

[rennanr_]

do we still have to endure the new voices or have they implemented the option to go back to the original voices?

That's an old myth, you own a copy of a game. The license agreement comes against the law of most of countries, so the only the IP part you can consider. That means that in the most of developed countries you can do whatever you want with your copy of the game, except re-distributing it or stealing artwork/code/writing for your projects.

What is a real legislative oversight is that the game can change through the support so it won't resemble itself, so yeah, the player is unprotected from this side.

To my knowledge even if it is against most countries regulation, they simply do not care because these countries' legislative bodies still does not care about digital ownership issue. So you still live and die by the grace of Steam Subscriber license agreement.

But yeah, we agreed that the license does not protect you from the dev/publisher wanting to modified the game you supposedly "owned" (you don't).

(buy game on gog if you can, DRM free is a good thing).

New voice over is fine.

Regarding of the possibility of player getting old voice over, let me put it this way:

You don't own the game Disco Elysium. You own the license to play ZA/UM products called "Disco Elysium".

This products *can* change/patched/expanded after you bought the license.

Meaning, you are not entitled to get the old voice over, you can go to the media, or better yet, riled up a support and sue them if you have the means, I would love to see that.

That being said, hope that we got the option to switch to old voice over, for the 12 person who want them back. The rest of us do not care, so do not hold your breath, friend.

you sound like someone who cares

Perhaps. But I wouldn't lose sleep if this game never going to get "an old voice over option toggle".

[Kobra]

you can still find the old version of the game on the internet. especially given recent revelations, nobody should be paying money for this game anyway.

There's a mod on Nexus called "More Voiceover Options" that might interest you

You can't and it most likely will never be added as an option. From my understanding the devs collaborated with a group/youtube channel/podcast called Chapo Trap House (they are mentioned in the credits of the original release). This collaberation included some of the people on it doing voice work for the game. There must have been some sort of falling out between the devs and CTH, as every voice they did has been replaced and the group is not mentioned in the credits of The Final Cut.

It sucks that no one who played the game before Final Cut knows what Cuno truly sounds like

Well, I don't know that it was CTH in particular, Dot Major (the real Cuno voice) isn't affiliated with CTH. But yeah, I suspect they probably didn't want to pay the people who made the original when they made the console version.

I was hoping they would at least have the option to go back to the old voice over

[Vinacious G]

The only way to play the OG version is to download it via command prompt and via the depot information, it's crummy but I made a post for it about playing 'Pre-Final Cut Disco'

Search on youtube for Cuno Disco 2019, something like that should pull up gameplay footage of the before time
Honestly I hate the what Klasje and Cuno sound now, and I don't like the narrator, he speaks to slow and monotonously. Plus I'm annoyed AF each thought/feeling doesn't have their own voice! Wtf! In the original we get a sound of what each thought/feeling sounds like when they first introduce themselves, and in the new style they all sound the same as the boring narrator, which really removes a ton of flavor and color from the game

Still have the GOG installer for the old version.

Damn, I love the voice acting, but, I guess you can find some old GOG version... somewhere around the internet.

[deoxxys]

The old cuno voice is something is something I heard used to be better.

I honestly don't know if for my first playthrough, if I should play the new version or the old version
