For the love of Tymora, please turn off those annoying blooper selection sounds!

Seriously, it is not an 'enhancement' to let the selection sounds have their "funny" options enabled.
Just turn them off. Or at least make them an option.

This might have been funny in 1995 with Warcraft, but not now.

Ugh!

    Not too thrilled by most of the IWD sound sets in general, somehow the BG ones seem just... better, despite there being far fewer to choose from.

    Surely it's possible to add custom sounds, though, so I guess one could port over the ones from BG... >_>

    It's a bit cold for that, don't you think?

    Seriously though, this is intolerable.
    @Jalily‌ @Dee‌ anyone?
    Is there any way to turn off the "funny" selection sounds?
    They just break immersion.
    Thank you.

    "Is there a *point* to this!?"

    I'm glad it's getting fixed though, those unique selection sounds should be rare on occasion.

    You are not.
    I enjoyed them too. And a lot :)

    Guess I'm one of the few that plays with volume way down and my own music blasting :P

    I thought perhaps I could just ignore them at first. After all they are kind of cute the first few times. I was wrong. :) It really does become immersion breaking after awhile. So glad to hear it is a bug that will be addressed!

    I seem to be having the opposite problem - I don't seem to be hearing any of the "rare" select sounds at all.

    Yeah I reported it the instant I fired up this game: http://forum.baldursgate.com/discussion/36231/10160-all-rare-selection-sounds-should-only-play-when-a-character-is-repeatedly-selected , very annoying.

    I'm more upset that they removed the secondary becoming the leader voice option.

    Everything has failed. I need a dwarf up front, pronto.
