Subtitles
- Official subtitle support only covers 40% of the game, but unofficial patches provide complete subtitles for all dialog, scripted or otherwise.[3] Such patches can be found in the localizations section.
- Compatible with other mods and enhancements.
- Patch three files (CreatureSFX.uax, LevelMechanics.uax, Voiceover.uax) so backup them just in case.
- The unofficial patches only provide full support for one language at a time, there is no patch to provide full support for all available languages.[4]
