Russian voices for english game (mod)

I just thought I recommend this mod for those who want their game to feel more authentic. This replaces the english voice over with the original russian ones, among other things. People say the voice acting is much better in the russian version - I can't comment on that, haven't played with it for long, but I like it way more than the accented english.

It would be nice, if I spoke russian, that is. I like having NPCs talking between them in russian (or ukranian, I don't what language are they speaking), but I'd rather understand what they're saying to me.

Yeah, it's rather difficult to appreciate good voice acting when you don't understand a word the actor says.

Yeah, but we all know what they're talking about anyway, since we played the game a few times already, plus there are subtitles for the important parts. So this is just for some change in atmosphere. But each to his own of course. Anyway they speak russian in the game (not ukrainian).

you can appreciate good voice acting even if you do NOT understand the language. I watch many movies with subtitles and hearing the voice and seeing the face of the actor I can still tell that this performance is much better than the often lackluster and mediocre german dub.

I use this mod ! you don't miss anything, everything in the game is subtitled.
mixing russian with english in the original version was much more odd to me.
