Ciphys Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 I've been peaking a bit at some different streams that has early access... and while I appreciate the effort they did doing voice-over for every single piece of text that shows up... I would rather prefer to limit voiced dialogue to dialogues that comes directly from the characters you come into contact with. Having the narrator doing the descriptive text just annoys me more than anything. Does anyone know if this is an option? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CENIC Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Piggybacking off of this, I'd like to know if it's possible to turn off VO but still have music, sound effects, and combat barks? Aloth massages his temples, shaking his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the sound settings, there is an independent 0-100 scale for "Voice volume". Turning down that to 0 will likely have the effect you desire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boeroer Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 The narrator is only voiced in the prologue. 3 Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizzyMilo Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 the narrator seems to voice scenes that are important to the main story, not just the prologue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, this also disables the barks you get when you click on characters or give them a command (which I would like to keep) Aloth massages his temples, shaking his head.

KaiG Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Did I hear somewhere that it's Ashley Johnson doing the narration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAlmond Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Did I hear somewhere that it's Ashley Johnson doing the narration? Fairly sure it is. And yeah seems like the narrator is voiced during important story events, but not regular events. So you won't find the narrator chiming at you during ship combat for example.

Voss Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 The narrator is only voiced in the prologue. Not true. She doesn't narrate everything, but she pops back up for main plot stuff, at the very least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esyvjrt Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Don't like the descriptive text in dialogue narration either. Really like how was it done tho. For prologue, "cut-scenes", or other separate and conclusive texts without dialogue, would love to have it all narrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selky Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Yeah, I'd love to have this as an option. Descriptive text being narrated feels so wrong. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vyrulisse Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 From what I've seen (and it's very limited to be fair) the dialogue seems rather juvenile and too much like Divinity OS 2 for my tastes... I hope it's not all like what I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonWiz Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 (edited) Yeah, I've seen a couple of vids and the narrator is very off putting. I assumed at first, that it was only spoken dialogue that was going to be voiced, but apparently not. I don't like it : / Edited May 7, 2018 by DragonWiz 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay - I just saw the prologue and then the following 5 minutes which were not voiced. Point is: she's not always talking.

hevymac Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Descriptive text being narrated is not okay to me. I thought "Fully Voice acted" meant, the characters were voiced. Please give us an option to turn the 'my mum is reading to me' narration. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hevymac Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Solved the narrator issue! Just go into your PoE 2 folder Pillars of Eternity II Deadfire\PillarsOfEternityII_Data\StreamingAssets\Audio\Windows\Voices\English(US) And then Move or delete the "narrator" folder! Solved! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibanix Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 +1 to the option to disable narrator voice How can anyone in their right mind try to ship a multimillion dollar product without making absolutely sure that they don't upset all their players with a degree in Medieval English Linguistics?

BigCheese Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Started the game...Heard non character text gets narrated...Came here...Please give an option to disable. I really liked it back in Baldur's Gate where rarely anything was voiced or just the first sentence to give an idea of the mood and tone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipster Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Yup, please give us an option to turn off her narration. It's honestly ruining the experience of those dramatic narrative moments for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
