Original Dubbed voices and dialogues switch option like in SC Remastered for W3 Reforged

Hi this is more of a request than an issue but will it be possible to put in the future patches of the game the same option featured in Starcraft remastered which is to switch between old and new dubbed voices and dialogues for the units from the original game ? Im telling you this because im playing the french version of the game because of from Québec and i just cant play the new reforged because the new dubbed versions is just awful and breaks my immersion and nostalgia of my 2002 self. Im pretty sure the other languages versions including english should have the same option. Anyway why change something that is already perfect ? I just hope you take my request into consideration since you have already done something of the same matter in your last remaster. Its a simple request from a long passionate gamer fan of Blizzard games. Thank you

Same boat here. I really love the old voices. I bought this game when it cames out and it was all my kid years. I grew up with those voices. And the old VA were top notch.
Thrall French new voice is just… it’s bad. He’s litteraly reading his text, no emotions

The sad part of the story is that English players DO have their original voice actors. So I don’t understand why we can’t have ours aswell.

Hi everyone !

I totally agree ! These new French voices are just … bad and break completely the immersion in the game.
I really hope Blizzard will do a patch ASAP, at least to have the opportunity to switch between the original voices and the new ones.

Switched to the English version since I can’t stand the new German voices either. Would love to have an option to choose from.

It would seem that there are more and more topics / complaints regarding these new voices, whatever the language (French, German, Spanish, Russian etc.), so I have high hopes that Blizzard brings the original voices back, in addition to the new ones.

+1 for option to change back to original voice over…
Reforged translation is a bit different in some parts also (so it could be voice/text mismatch with old voices?), but at least for a “classic” version i hope its possible to bring back old voice over.
Original Russian 2002 VO was legendary, and it couldnt be done any better. 2020 version - its ok, its fine, some actors not so great, and why make it forced?..

Poland here. Same story. Polish new voices are terrible, it’s not even a nostalgia thing. They sound so unnatural, like actors tried too hard. I have switched to english version as well, as it has classic voices. Why only english has it?

French here and same story.
The new voices trying to imitate the old ones are terrible - at best.
Why did we not get the old ones as well?

New german VO is also very bad. The old one was just awesome…

I was also googling for the solution. Most people are playing this for the nostalgia train, seems odd they change one of the most fundamentals aspects of this by not allowing it. Is there really no way to play with updated graphics and old voice lines?

You can dude!

Burning; to avenge.

The worst part (beside those horrible unit sounds) is that the surnames got translated. For me one of the best things of Classic WoW is that there are still those old names like Warsongclan, Hellscream, Proudmoure. While the new voices for main characters like Thrall (why does his name btw never got translated in all the translating madness) are good too, the translated names make it just awful.
