Freedom to edit without the chiding

Hello all, I present a question that few have answered and many have asked. The Witcher is a role playing game. I LOVE role playing games. I love maturity. I love depth, concepts, the contrasting shades of dark and light, and I understand them. I delight in horror because I delight in beauty. I live in a world with swearing, nudity, and conceptual violence. I embrace that and make decisions despite it. I am who I am in response to that. Thus, I want a world that lets me expand on and make these choices. Thus, I want to play the Witcher. I want to play this game, but I want to play it on my terms. The same way I read books, watch movies, and enjoy music.If there is something I don't like I change it. I'm not ignoring it. I'm not ignorant. But, I have a choice. Thus, whether I have to become a some sort of godly programmer or some sort of audio savant I want to play this game without swearing or nudity. Nudity has been resolved countless times on many forums. Swearing has not.Is there or is there not a way to access the sound files? Has anyone attempted this? Could I rewrite the entire game using children's narrations and barney dialogue if I wanted (Which I don't, but I've done this to House of the Dead just for extremely annoying kicks. However, those were open .Wav files).-End of official question, disclaimer continues-This question is not asking for anyone to chide me on truly enjoying the game, being a close minded brute, or standing in a state of denial. I have read your attacks on others in a similar vain and your discussions in other forums. If you truly enjoy life by hearing people swear or by looking at nudity then please refrain from indulging me in your insights. Enjoy your game, it has already been made this way FOR YOU. Let me make it for me, the same way I make all of my life. I refuse to accept your shouts at "destroying the art" as an answer. I refuse to accept modern language in a fantasy setting as art. Please, just help me answer this question on behalf of all those who have sought it out. No whining. If it is impossible let me know and I will make it possible in one way or another. Thank you. ~Would Andrzej Sapkowski rewrite his books for me? Of course not. Why would he when he expects us to do it ourselves? An author has as much ability to control his words after he has published them as a gunman does his bullet after he fires.~~End of ranting disclaimer~

Then burn me, but first answer the question. I am willing to go through no small amount of pain if it results in success.

While I'm rather horrified at your dreams of bowlderisation, I'll try to help you. Then I'll be sure to burn you.So: try turning on another voicover. TW1 is wonderful in that regard. You can have Polsih audio with English subtitles, or any other combination of the availible language packs. This means you won't understand any spoken swear words, and will be able to not-read the ones in the subtitles (though how can one not-read a word without reading it first is beyond my simple ken).Now please, come here. Let me purify you in the Eternal Fire.

Well, there's also the censored version, or perhaps removing the appropriate patch. Even still, I believe you'll run into some language and scantily clad lasses.

An excellent suggestion, and I thank you! That is definitely one alternative and I will freely accept your purification process as long as I get in-flight snacks on the way to the sun. Really, I appreciate your level-headed answer and I truly don't get after any of you for your personal taste other than how my previous statement bluntly implies. However, Is there a more direct method of editing? How are the sound files compressed?

This question properly belongs in the Djinni section of the forum.Yes, we do have access to the sound files and the dialogue files, but they're in a compressed format. Let's go over there, and we can talk about it.

...Which I can handle in a minor regard. Thank you also. However, there must be a more creative or technical fix one can imply if he really has a motivation (and a proper agenda).

Only moderators can actually MOVE threads, so the best we can do is go over there and start a new one.
