(EDIT: I made the following post before running the game with the hotfix. Under D3d it would not run--the screen flickered wildly and that's all it did--until I rebooted! When in doubt, reboot...;) It worked fine after that. In case anyone else has a problem--try rebooting. Windows 11 build 22593.100. BTW, I do not recall having to reboot before in either a main patch or a hotfix. Either way--no big deal at all.)
I just downloaded it through GOG. Small--70MBs.
Still waiting for Larian to give us a mute control for the narrator. I cannot believe how they are dragging their feet on this important point. I get into the game deeply and all of sudden this discordant voice just breaks the spell--like a bucket of cold seawater thrown in my face...;) It really is disconcerting.
This game began with a volume control (with mute) for the narration--DOS2 put one in, too, by popular demand. But there has been no explanation as to why it's been taken out of BG3--it was there at the first of the game. Surely someone can comment on this?
Here's an idea that just occurred to me--a la' the Witcher 3, if you don't want to take the narration out with an optional mute button, then having the primary character's voice mouth those words as though he's thinking them or talking to himself--that would be a lot better than what is atm. I wonder if you guys have thought about that...? You'd at least have some continuity there. A narrator popping in who is not a major character in the game is simply disconcerting, imo. Of course, you already know this as I've only commented on it about 25,356 times in the last few months...;)
BTW, I love what's being done with the character model graphics!...last patch, really impressive work! Faces look naturally animated--I mean really good stuff--professional quality, imo. Some of the best I've ever seen in a game--I play D3d with HDR on a display HDR-1000 certified monitor with a 6700 XT 12GB at 4k. I can only imagine how incredible the game will look when finished!
