Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - General Summary of 2 hours: SwishySound, Zoom, Lighting

Combining all my feedback so far:

Hovering over things. The Swish-ish sound is super annoying.
It seems a minor nitpick, and I dislike starting my feedback with something like this - but wow it gets majorly annoying after only a few minutes hovering over things - the sound seems to pop up on just about every single thing clickable when in character/inventory,etc.

It's something I barely notice usually - so maybe the sound itself has some frequency that gets immediately fatiguing.

Regardless, you could completely remove the sound and it would add immersion and remove distraction.

Needs zoomed out more overall.
Zoomed out all the way is still extremely cramped, especially in combat.

Low Lighting Quality looks better than High.
I see far more 'contrast' with low lighting quality.

Unfortunately I had to stop playing didn't want to continue. I found the zoom level and constant swish sound to be unbearable after about 30 minutes.

Played 250+ hours in D:OS never had an issue - some things so far are way too fatiguing.

Hi Psomm, can you give us a little more detail about your zooming problem?
I'm not exactly sure to understand.
Would you want the camera to go farther?

When we zoom out via the mouse scroll, it stops at a point far too "close" to the character. It could go farther away, or the FOV increased. Either one would likely make it more bearable.

I agree with psom re: the zoom. It was the first thing I noticed and I would love for the camera to pull back a bit further, too.

As for the noises, eh. I'm sure that's something that can be customized by each player. Personally it doesn't bother me.

So far, I've only played fifteen minutes or so...but I'm digging it a lot. Ha! Can't wait to get back into it later tonight and I'll be sure to post additional observations.

This one is interesting. I would love to see comparison screenshots.

The zoom distance should really be increased. Zooming in works fine and shows high details on the character.

For the sound, I have to admit I never heard an anoying sound while hovering. I have every soundbar on full with my 5.1 speakers.

The sound in the game is beautiful. I really like the different themes and it is awesome that the music for the character specific instrument plays exactly the music in the character screen while you test it ^^

Heya Fade, it's the constant "Scissors Snip n Cut" on everything.

Start the game, hover over continue or any of the icons *Scissors Snip n Cut* sound everywhere.
Continue the game, when game opens hover over any hotbar keys *Scissors Snip n Cut* sound everywhere.
Open inventory (b), hover over any items *Scissors Snip n Cut* sound everywhere.
Open your skill panel and hover over the skills on the left *Scissors Snip n Cut* sound everywhere.
Crafting panel *Scissors Snip n Cut* sound everywhere.
Journal *Scissors Snip n Cut*
Dialogs *Scissors Snip n Cut*
Open close barrels *Scissors Snip n Cut*
Etc Etc.

I don't know how anyone can't hear it - it's 50% of the reason I had to stop playing, other half is zoom level.

I agree with the zoom, it feels a little too far in, even when fully zoomed out.
