Voice acting in the original--specifically, in Cyseal's merchant square--was superior, I thought. I thought it strange that they didn't keep the originals & simply add what they wanted. I guess that would not have worked with rewriting the dialogue in some cases, however, and I guess they could not get the same people for the EE (obvious.) There's not *that* much difference, but some of the original voices in the square had a definite flair that the EE sort of lacks, imo. The EE voices in the square sometimes sound as if the people are just imitating the original actors...not a big deal, though.
