I just downloaded StS2 and there seems to be a weird bug going on. Many of the voice lines are cut off before they finish playing, It seems that if the preset time for the subtitle is shorter than the time the audio clip takes, it just crops the voice reading, meaning you miss stuff unless you read ahead of the voice actor.
I never played the original, so I don't know if this is a known issue, but is there a way to fix it?
Edit: Using my own copy of ScummVM and setting it to Speech Only mode fixes the problem... is there a way to do this with the GOG.com release, though?
Edit 2: Hmm... Just realised that pushing 'T' turns off the subtitles, making it work properly. Strange thing as the manual says the 'T' key is meant to toggle the speech on and off too, but it only ends up affecting the subtitles.
In any case, if you want to play with speech and you are finding the spoken lines are being cut off too early, just press 'T'. Subtitles will switch off and the game will play all the voices to completion.
