Re: Mark of the Assassin DLC has no sound or dialogue texts

Hi! I guess you are not interested in the answer anymore, but in case others have the same problem, here it is.

First, Origin really messes things up with languages (comon guys, was it that hard to put a "language option" which can be changed depending on the game, like on St..m ?). To run your DA2 (basic game) in English :

1. open the folder: (Disk:\)Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age 2\Settings
2. open the DragonAge file in a text editor
3. change these lines and save:
   • Locale=en-us
   • VOLanguage=en-us

Origin will download the correct files. Tricky but easy, right? However this does not apply to the DLC content "Legacy", "Mark of the Assassin" and "The Exiled Prince" (you needed a little challenge here, sweet thing).

Firstly, go check this folder: (Disk:\)Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Dragon Age II\addins\da2_prc_drk\module\audio\vo

If, as I, you do not have a "en-us" folder but only the language you installed DA2 in in the first place (like for me: fr-fr), then proceed to these steps for all three DLC:

1. visit this website to download their executable version: https://help.ea.com/en-ca/help/origin/origin/download-dlc-for-classic-origin-games/#dragonage
2. open the .exe file with 7zip ("open archive"), travel to: $_2_\addins\da2_prc_xxx\module\audio\vo\
   • where: xxx=drk for Legacy
   • xxx=seb for ExiledPrince
   • and xxx=eye for MarkOfTheAssassin
3. extract the en-us folder (our Holy Grail of Andraste!!)
4. copy it to the Origin installation folder as previously stated: (Disk:\)Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Dragon Age II\addins\da2_prc_xxx\module\audio\vo
   • where: xxx=drk for Legacy
   • xxx=seb for ExiledPrince
   • and xxx=eye for MarkOfTheAssassin
5. I'd remove the fr-fr, you know, just to be safe, but not sure it is mandatory

This is for the voices. Then for the text (text wheel and subtitles), you need to do the same steps for the files (found in the archive dowloaded on step 1):

• da2_prc_xxx_c_en-us.tlk, which is in: $_2_\addins\da2_prc_xxx\core\data\talktables\
• da2_prc_xxx_en-us.tlk, which is in: $_2_\addins\da2_prc_xxx\module\data\talktables\

Be sure to copy it in the corresponding locations in the Origin installation folder. Now in your house, over the Griffon for exemple you should have "Memento of Legacy" writen and "Would you like to play Dragon Age 2: Legacy?" in the text box when you click on it.

There you go! Happy new DLC with Fenris or whoever was your lover in DA2 (but let's be serious a second, Fenris, right?)
