If they don't add option to separately shut up narration I am not playing this garbage.
Is the narration only at the chapter clips or is it in all the dialogue?

Hot take: Feargus is the fall guy for money laundering operations of Obsidian when they funnel profits of Dumpsterfire through him into European far-right parties. Feargus will be complicit with overlapping MCA case and will take the hit, company will disband and the cash flow will be secured.

But, at least the UI is nice, solid, the dialogue is at the center, the text size is good. Then again now it matters little since they read it all outloud to me so far.

I doubt it's hard to implement muting narration. DOS2 had all kinds of options for muting or unmuting sounds.

If they haven't categorised narration strings differently than other voice over then it would take a while to implement it.

That sounds like high school programming mistakes. I doubt that they programmed it like that.

Have to say the save import was a bit disappointing. Having to remake your character like that, I don't remember what kind of dwarf he was or where he was from! Otherwise the game seems like a big improvement, and thank the gods, the narrator stops blabbering after the initial opening.

I don't know, I haven't played it yet.
I am installing it now and hoping that there isn't a narration to the descriptive text.
No, seems they only read narration at important places, so it's not everything.

Hahahaha just saw this. It is pretty nice sale pitch,maybe i will buy the game to support the poor skinheads.


The only bug I've experienced so far is the weapon icon not switching when I switch weapon sets. No crashes after 5 hours of playing and multiple alt-tabs out of the program. I am running it on a fairly newly built system, however.

Bit update about soundtrack since i've played a bit. The soundtrack is amazing, Justin did very well.
Only exception is a single horrible combat track that i hope i can remove with some mod.
You can always find the .ogg file within the game's folders, delete it, and male a copy of another one which you like, and rename it to the same name.

I've been playing for like 3 hours, and the game seems great so far.

Already tried because i did it with poe1, but in this game there are no ogg files.
Seems like music is tied into some random package i can't easily access

(opens lore section of journal)
(whole vailian dictionary)
(tiki kaki)
(eyball twitching)

but at least I finally play a character I want - a bear shifting bear summoner. now to find fight some bears.
hm only found a boar.
shapeshifted into a boar and killed boar with a bigger boar.

it's cute how this game begins as rpg101 or My First Rpg Mod - shipwrecked, on an island... like in Risen or DOS2. gotta collect all the sea shells.

I think I know why I need the dictionary. I'm going to get another vailian woman spitting gibberish as companion right? ...I'd rather get a fucking parrot.

So I take the day off, kick the wife off to work, hustle the kids double time to school, fire up my PC with the preload already done, and the game's been stuck on preparing to launch for 40 minutes now...WTF Is it downloading itself again?

The narrator is terrible. Who the fuck though that a angsty teen girl will be the perfect match for the game?! Also the prologue is shit,i got told the story from the first game twice and now i have to choose the story.

Durance and Grieving Mother were such weird and memorable characters. It's really a shame they won't be part of the series anymore. I don't know if I'll even get this game, but I feel like it's such a loss.

The fuck! They even managed to screw the decisions from the first game,i had the restard the game because i didn't know that the decision making is hidden in the options. Also some options are missing,like you know,the end of the white march. It is missing the option to make the god but with tempered memories. How in the fuck you mess up this shit?! LoL
