do characters speak?

Are we supposed to hear them? I run the first two maps with both Surround Sound off and with Surround Sound on, and I don't think I noticed a difference. Talle still "hiyah"'d or something when casting spells while on Lake.

If you go to the thread linked about and continue on to the end, it kind of sounds like we should have more voices but those people also had problems, apparently, with generic sound fx as well which we appear to not be having.

Probably no voicing I guess except for cut-scenes or small key portions. I missed the voice at the inn or didn't notice it. I've seen more NPCs with text floating above their heads now too... Really noticed it in Meadows, which is where I stopped playing a few days ago, most of the way from the train to the town. Kind of strange that the game's so large with almost no voice, but I guess that it's supposed to be pretty large/long.

(Probably going to pick up Star Wolves 3(another poor translation, I gather from the forum, but more moddable that this, sadly) in the Steam sale, and King's Bounty: The Legend(have Armored Princess(good trans), but heard this is bigger plus it's like $3 anyways), so I'll probably start playing those -- maybe Space Rangers 1 too(have SR2 Reboot already too pretty good translation and a good game).)
