On the flipside, at least it's not as annoying as Thief, where the same lines are echoed within a few seconds of each other, overlapping.
One example (out of many):
"Are you still pining about the abattoir?"
.........."Are you still pining about the abattoir?"
Now *THAT* is annoying.
Still, I can't disagree with an option to adjust the rate of repetition. I think, rather than spending those last few days to add voices in, they should have held them back for a patch. They were trying hard to make it a better game, but they were pushing themselves too much, and the game suffers because of it.
I'm sure they'll eventually fix these problems, but it's definitely a negative for those playing on launch day (personally, I'm holding off for the moment).
