Use CD music in English version
- These steps change the German CD version to use English text. This requires the German CD version (GOG.com has both).
- The intro and some minor game text will still be in German.
- To have German speech with English subtitles copy only
.DAT
from the English folder. - NPCs will have 50x their normal XP value when you recruit them, as the English version uses has a multiplier for all XP gained or required. This can be fixed by hex-editing
STAR.DAT
, but must be done from a save from before the NPC is recruited to prevent excessive stat increases.

Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 File/folder structure within the installation folder reflects the path(s) listed for DOS game data. For the GOG.com release, file changes in DOSBox are redirected to
<path-to-game>/cloud_saves/
even if GOG Galaxy is not used (this folder contains all redirected files, so some files in thecloud_saves
folder might be temporary files or other files that do not contain saves or settings).
