Etal, I finally got the English voice feature working thanks to Mick's instructions. I started to play it with only English subtitles, but it's much more enjoyable with English voices if that's the only language you speak - like me. > Thanks to the ones providing the voices and thanks to MindFactory (no, not > *that* MindFactory) for creating the Return of the Templars game. Yes, thanks to MindFactory for creating Broken sword 2.5. I thought it was very well done and the voice of George sounded very much like the original BS 1 and 2 - can't remember if BS 3 was the same George. Nico sounded much the same. I liked the graphics . they were much the same as BS 1 and 2. > If one has fond memories of the two first Broken Sword games but don't > want to replay games already played, or like me do play the old ones and > don't mind more of the same, this game is very good. I do the same. Once in a while I play Broken sword 1 and 2 and played BS 3, The Sleeping Dragon which I liked but like first two games the best. > One revisits some old locations and meets some old acquaintances along > with new places and people in a new original adventure. Yes, two old acquaintances were Duane and Pearl were in BS 2.5 for a short time. They look much the same - plump. The flower seller in front of Nico's apt. looked and sounded the same - flowers in that scene were beautiful colours. Mary
