Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Latest News Community Update #20: A Dragonborn, a Half-Orc & a Monk Walk Into a Tavern

After watching the Showcase, I can say that I'm hyped for the full game I bought three years ago. However, a couple of things:

1) I've been asking for this since the first or second patch on the EA: will you allow us to turn off the narrator, like you were thoughtful enough to do in DOS2? Unlike some, I have no problem with reading a line or two on the screen. The game is better for me that way, and the immersion deeper. The narrator's voice is distracting, as she is not a character in the game, and so her voice doesn't fit in anywhere. I see that you've cut her lines back--but then you've added many more lines for her to read, apparently. The point is that I can read the lines much more rapidly than she can enunciate them--so I end up waiting on her to finish reading aloud content I've already absorbed. Surely, I can't be the only one ...;)

5) Every once in a while, during the Showcase, I got the impression that I was watching "The SIMS go to Baldur's Gate"...;) Hopefully, the cartoon sex and the social chit-chat can be bypassed by those of us expecting a melodramatic adventure game. The original Baldur's Gate games were very heavy on melodrama and intrigue.
