In the German version, there is something wrong with the voice-acting. During cut-scenes and narrative dialog in missions it uses for some reason Classic voices, while units use when selected and commanded the Reforged voice-acting (as it should be).
The only exception are the 3 prologue-missions that were once part of the demo. Since there probably were no German voice-acting for the demo, the cut-scenes and in-game narrative dialogue use the newer Reforged voice-acting.
I have not tested the condition of the English voice-acting yet and I do not know the situation for other languages (please share, of somebody knows).
There is no way to change it back in order to experience all cut-scenes with modern Reforged voice-acting in German.
The best way to solve it is to let us players choose, which version of voice-acting we prefer, just like with the graphics in the Reforged menu.
Well obviously it means they only re-recorded the unit voice lines and not the campaign ones.
In English the major changes are the elimination of some of the “joke” lines you get when you click on a unit repeatedly. Probably cultural censorship because they think some of those jokes wouldn’t fly today or something.
Incorrect, as seen in pre-2.0 Reforged YouTube videos, all the the campaign voice lines were re-recorded for Reforged release. (edit:) It was then reverted in 2.0, regarding the campaign voices.
You yourself said otherwise here. I don’t understand. You just explicitly stated that the cutscenes and dialogue use the Classic voices while the units use the Reforged voices. So, you’re contradicting yourself.
2002: Original release with Classic voices
2020: Reforged relase with fully re-recorded voice acting, including units and campaign
2024: Reforged 2.0 major patch release. Campaign voice-acting was for some reason reverted to Classic, while Unit voice-acting remains Reforged.
I can confirm it is still like this and the Classic Sound toggle is still not working which makes it unbearable for me to play Rexxar campaign because Rexxar’s new voice is painful and to make it worse they even seem to got the better speaker of him from HotS in BfA
