Title: Question about Steam, for non-english pipple
Post by: Pedrito on December 07, 2011, 07:06:39 PM
I DO NOT want Steam to install a localized version of the game I buy through them: I want the original english version.

Is there a way to explain this to the effing Steam Client??

In your game library, right click the game. Properties -> Languages

I don't know about technically bad but it was just too damn dorky. And more to the point completely unnecessary. We speak English here.

They are ever popular here, almost all famous Polish actors lend their voices.... sometimes to many NPCs in the same game which kills the effect (Witcher :bleeding: ).
Other than that, when Witcher becomes Shepard effect isn't good either. :D

Real problem is you can't choose English version most of the time. Because prices are a little bit lower here (not that much in fact) localization is a must.

Steam is out of the question because 50 EUR isn't 50 $ and it doesn't give me an option. Or I just can't find a way to change it.  :yucky: Fortunately other US download services don't force EUR shit.

And then people do wonder why there is so much piracy in Eastern Europe.  :rolleyes: Give me a choice without that much hassle ffs.  :mad:
