So I asked Funcom to release the game with it's original audio-track.
They did not answer me so I asked GOG and they replied to me politely that they werent able due to the deal they had with Funcom. But they would do their best whenever possible. Still, when playing this game after sooo many years, I wanted to re-live the story through the original norwegian audio.
I went online and looked for an original norwegian copy. After a while I found it online and bought it ( at quite a steep price, but still worth it ). I installed it on my Windows 10, and "YES" the game started! I even got through the 5 first minutes of the game and then .. crash. It crashed every time even with different "compability settings". So, what to do... Aha, I could buy the game from GOG and then try the OLD way to get around these issues.
So, I bought the game from GOG as well and installed the english version. Crossing my fingers I deleted ALL files in the original game directory with norwegian audio... "I know it's a long shot, but I'll try anyway". I copied the files in the game directory on the GOG version and launched game.exe. And it WORKED! Really, now I have a "GOG patched game with Norwegian audio". Played it around for a couple of hours with no issues at all. I really hope this works out trougout the game. Arrhh, I really feel like master yoda now.
I really just wanted to share that it's actually possible.. If there are any other norwegians out there wanting to play the game with its original sound... or not.. Well who cares, I'm happy with my achievement today :-)
Happy gaming!
