Interested to hear if they added more actual gameplay content, or if it's all just fluffy shit. And yeah, I read the interview, but I don't much trust anything these devs say anymore, sadly.
New quest means a better update than the hardcore mode that nerfed some stuff while you could already win without already without any drugs or alchool. No idea if they improved tribunal and did something different in the endings giving an early Island exploration and something like that.

Didn't make it out of my room yet, the narration is fucking awful. I don't think the voice actor had any idea what the context of the lines was, as he read them in his monotone voice.

Not to mention that he often puts the emphases on the wrong words. Still not unbearable, but meh.

Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is.
Watched Cohh playing this for a bit, thought the VO actually IS unbearable. Jesus christ.

And ACG fanboyed all over this lelw. Poor dude has no ear whatsoever.

Got Revacholian Nationhood, didn't internalize it yet. I wonder at which stage of the game the quest appears. Four out of five fascist characters are located in the first zone, but the Cryptofascist is in the second one.

On a different note, there are supposed to be new clothes available as well. Are they scattered around the city or have they been simply added to the preexisting vendors?

Let us know if the final cut is still more or less completely linear with only 1 conclusion to the investigation.

Sure thing, fam. I wouldn't get my hopes up if I were you though. :M

There'll be people who'll complete the game far earlier than I shall. It's late at night, and I've made the mistake of starting on hardcore mode, which turned out to have meant a lot of pointless savescumming.

Will the steam auto-update force me into this new version? Should I keep it disabled since I hate full voice acting?
At least the game still runs fine directly from the executable.

You can choose in-game which mode of voice acting you prefer.

I played it for 3 hours this evening. Haven't turned off the full voice acting yet, although I was also skeptical at first. It's nowhere as bad as you make it out to be. It brings a certain freshness to my second playthrough. However, classic mode clearly remains the best choice for a first playthrough.

The VA also outright butchers the text here and there. Thus far, the narrator dropped the 's' at the end of the plural word and - in a different unrelated talk - said 9 instead of 11.

Thank you. I just dislike full narration in rpgs in general, prefer to read at my own pace and leave a bit more to imagination. I was in the mid of my second playthrough, I think I will update and keep the old voice acting.

Hey babies, wake up from your asleep. What exactly does the rebalance of health items entail? Do I need to update my autistic house rules?

Cautiously optimistic re: the new VO. Did they switch out the Chapo Class Reductionist people (Smoker-chan and Kortenaer-kun IIRC?) They were the only ones in the original bunch I didn't like.

EDIT: Narrator VO seems fine to my ear except for the glacial cadence, but listening to the same voice for half of the script seems really overwhelming, and I think it's more fun to project your own personalities into the skills. I see why they added the "Psychological" VO option (which disables the narrator but keeps the rest of the voices) - it is likely what I will end up going with.

Does this make it any good?

If you didn't like it before, you won't like it now.

Unless you're one of those sub-humans who actually want everything to be voice-acted, in which case my answer is "possibly".
Having voice acting in the original was indeed bad but now its even worse with the re-dubbing of old lines being of lower quality than the original. Compare the two iterations of ''fuck does cuno care'' for instance.
