    Beast of winter problem

    in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire Technical Support (Spoiler Warning!)

    Posted · Edited by hevymac

     

    I've never had this happen, in 20 years of pc gaming..... Usually the mod either comes with the update included or states that it requires it.. This time I could install the mod, which never said it needed the update. Is this expected behaviour?

    Did you play the same game for 20 years? It's common for DLC to require/come with new game versions.

    Your sarcastic reply doesn't add anything constructive or address the question.

    I'm sorry that you're incapable of reading, but capable of sarcasm. Amazing you've been able to play such a text heavy game.

    The voiced narrator is really distracting.

    And it seems to me that the people are divided into groups who take it personally and those who don't. People who say "it" and people who say "she/her". People who like the idea that it's a woman's voice and, people who don't like getting their own thoughts narrated to them.

    Please understand that it's not a person but a narrator, and  because someone doesn't like it most likely means that it's the voiceed in-game  narrator that it's very out of place. Let's put aside, who, narrated it for now.

    The importance of sound for atmosphere

    I too would love to see the addition of at least redbook quality files.... I have had so much frustration with lossy voices and music in games! I love music, and as such I have a decent stereo with a decent dac, etc. I have a passion for sound, and there *is* a difference.

    Some people are happy with, in terms of video, crappy quality 3000 to 5000kbps bluray rips. I am not. Watching Brave (for example) in it's near native, but still compressed, 25000 to 40000kbps is very satisfying.

     

    Just as hand made pasta tastes better (and has texture), but the average philistine would be dumbstruck if you asked them if there was a difference. The people who say, "snake oil" are the exact people who have not listened to music through a well thought out stereo system. So how can they tell me that "you can't tell the difference" if they, themselves have not sat down, as you would with good gourmet, and sampled it's bountiful fruit?

    I would pay extra to get high quality sound, I don't think I should have to, but if it's an inconvenience to the other developers, I would pay for it.

    Just my two cents.
