Mass Effect 1 (legendary) - separate settings for voices & text language?
Does Mass Effect 1 (legendary edition) will have separate settings for voices & text language? I am asking because RUS voices in ME1 was awful😞
Forum Discussion
I saw a comparison video showing Fist's Russian dubbing, and I really feel for you guys. It sounds like a parody.
Now, if I understand correctly, originally ME1 didn't have Russian dubbing, but the sequels did, and now they dubbed ME1 with different actors and changed the subtitles to a worse localization than what the game had before. In that case it would be ideal for Russian players to have a chance to get the original text files as well as the English VO.
This is Twitter from the ME Legendary Edition director. You can write to him about our problem, ask him to add the option "ENGLISH VOICE + RUSSIAN SUBTITLES" to ME1 Legendary.
- @Fred_vdp No, sequels does’nt have Russian dubbing, only ME1. And this dub is terrible. All russian community want to play ME1 with eng voice and rus subs, like in ME2,3. But the problem is that you cannot choose a combination of voice acting and subtitles, only the entire localization
I stand corrected!
But yeah, the combo of voice and text languages should be standard in any game. I remember playing Zelda: Breath of the Wild with German VO because the English voice acting at times is terrible, but I still kept the English subtitles. It's also a good way to learn to understand a language better.
- @AlexanderWake777 EA please, help russian gamer's!!!! Need englisn voice and ruusian subtitles in Mass Effect Legendary edition !!! It is impossible to play with Russian voice acting. She kills the whole atmosphere of the game!
I was so excited to get my bride familiar with my most beloved game trilogy of all times, but when I learned yesterday that you can't change the voice and subtitles language separately I was completely disappointed. That atrocious localization ME1 had from Snowball studio shouldn't exist at all, but now it's trying to stand up from its long forgotten grave and murder the Legendary Edition experience for all Russian players. And it will, EA. You should really consider adding the ability for Russian players to play with English voices and Russian subtitles if you care for your overall sales in Russia and you should make it fast, if you care for your initial sales (I know you do). And It's not a threat, it's a fact — ME1 Russian localization is a lazy, hideous and disguising piece of trash. And this opinion is universal.
Not buying it 100% unless you change it or at least until there is a stable and easy solution with mods or editor.Wow! We need this
- In ME1 Legendary you need to add the "ENGLISH VOICE + RUSSIAN SUBTITLES" option. Terrible Russian voice acting!!!!
@xX_DriverX14_Xxit was terrible and it is terrible, does EA know about this? Ofcourse not. I am sure they don't, otherwise they would remove any poor dubbing. Until I am unable to choose language and subtitles for ME1, I am not buying ME:LE. I do not recommend to buy this game for you also, they must fix it first. Because, they don't understand what it is to play with german or russian dubbing without an option to change it, omg. Why they hell they added dubbing in the first place? It is awful....You add good dubbing or do not add at all, that' it. Look at Cyberpunk, it have most awful russian dubbing ever and perfect english, and you can play on english + any subs. What we see in ME1? Wow, just wow.
Dear EA and Bioware! Please add the ability to combine voice acting and subtitles for Mass Effect 1 from the Legendary Edition collection on all platforms. So that you can play with English voice acting and Russian subtitles. Russian voice acting in this game is very poor quality! The characters do not open their mouths during the dialogues. On a regular basis, there are unvoiced sentences! The characters communicate, but there is no sound! A lot of distorted meaning in the translation of Russian voice acting! And given that the following parts are with English voice acting and Russian subtitles, this violates the integrity of the three games! I wanted to buy the Legendary Edition compilation yesterday on the PS5, but this fact stopped me. And many fans won't buy because of this. Please add the option to select English voice acting and Russian subtitles! On personal computers, people have already fixed this themselves, but we can't do it on consoles... We have no choice! Legendary Edition: Made by fans for fans, so on behalf of all fans from Russia, I cordially ask you: hear us, help us fix this! Thank you in advance and hope for your understanding.
There is no normal language selection option! Add the ability to separately select voiceovers and subtitles. For example, English voice + Russian subtitles.
In Russian localization HORRIBLE voice acting !!! Why add voiceovers to one game without giving it all? This is stupid.Russian dubbing is not only a mockery of the fans of the series and the play of the original voice actors, it is also a crime against humanity and violence against the ears. Add to Mass Effect 1 the ability to include Russian text and subtitles with English voice acting
The voice of the female Shepard can only be Jennifer Hale.
How can you not understand this?
everything is fine, but please add an option, Russian subtitles + English voice acting, thanks
There is a solution in Steam, which worked for almost all languages, here's the link. I managed to get it working.
