Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Odd sound/music behavior in BG3 — please avoid this in future games, Larian

I want to emphasize how terrible the idea of muting sound during sneaking is. This odd game convention - where entering a sneak state lowers the volume to signify a "tense" moment - is completely absurd. Why would I become half-deaf while trying to avoid being noticed? Shouldn't it be the opposite? In a stealthy situation all my senses should be heightened. I should be extra aware, hearing every footstep, every faint sound around me. But no - instead I'm made to feel half-deaf. Why not dim the screen too, so I can experience the full spectrum of sensory impairment? Please, Larian - this is such a terrible idea. It's annoying and makes no sense!
