I usually play DROD without voices, mainly because I get tired of the Slayer gloating over my death many many times. It is bad for my ego. Beethro's noises, that is "
bump"
and death cry, possibly there are others, belong to the "
voice"
category, although they are technically more of a sound effect, and one doesn't hear them when playing without voices. Since hearing the bump is sometimes essential for gameplay, i.e. optimising moves due to spawning, and I often overlook them in the heat of battle when there is no acoustic cue, I'd like to see it put back in the "
sound effects"
category. The death cry should probably be also, if only for consistency, although I am rather indifferent to that point. (I think everyone here knows what I am talking about, but if not: I mean the checkboxes on the "
Change Settings"
screen.)

Edit: I think it should be really easy to change the category, i.e. just set a flag to another value, but maybe not.
