Can we get the old voices as a toggle/mod?

[Nals]

Let's be frank.

The new VA is higher quality. It's outright better.

Expect I have the old Wallace, the old Frenchmen stuck in my head. And playing with these new voices feels wrong.

Any chance we could get a toggle for us old folks who played the game back in the day?

OG audio

Is there a chance we can have the old soundtracks and voice overs back as an option or something?
Or is someone making a mod?
New soundtrack is fine, but I really like the old one. lol

In the options menu, you can select the original soundtrack.

I can't find that option under audio. is it under a different option

Old campaign voice overs

Does anyone else miss the old campaign voices as much as I do? I've got nothing against the new voice acting personally, and they do a lot to add character to new campaigns, but the originals were so iconic and are so ingrained in my brain at this point that I can't help but miss them. I'm hoping someone in the mod community is currently working on bringing these back.

No, New voices are better
I play Pax Mongolica (Pax Mongolia) and Waited for Subotai
Instead of saying "I COME" Now it's "Subotai forces has arrived from the east!"

Overall, i think the new ones better for the most part, a couple are better for the old voice acting, but mostly the new ones are better.

Fair enough I suppose. I guess I'm in the minority here. I've just played them so many times that the old voices are just ingrained in my head at this point, and it feels weird to hear them any other way.

What? You want Subotai Saying "I COME" instead of "Subotai forces has arrived from the east!" ?

I'm a bit nostalgic too. But in the other way : I'm french, and I loved the over-exagerate scottish accent of the french narrator in the Wallace Campaign.
I learned to play AoE II listening his advices, let's have a tribute to this men :)

That is understandable, 20 years of playing this game and some nostolgia is understandable, nothing wrong with liking the old voice acting. Personally i wish we could choose which variants we want, that way everyone could be happy. But with limited time and money, i think balancing the Lithuanians and Cumans, as well as improving multiplayer is more important imo. Hopefully in a future update or a mod we can get that feature added in!

The Scotttish actor says a flat out wrong line after the end of mission 2 in William Wallace.

Would that I could call it a narration, but it is truly more of a massacre.

[Captain WeebM@ster]

Yeah some of the older Campaigns were narrated better in the previous version such as the Scottish one but most of them have gotten better in my opinion, i only played the Scottish,France,Mongol and Timberlane campaigns so far and the Scottish one was the only one worse than the original, and the Timberlane one was 10/10. i think nostalgia is clouding your judgment here.

My character voices are not working, any tips on getting them to play?

Yes, it's a powerful statement as opposed to a random soldier's observation.
