I'm heading in to assess the extent of the damage. Wish me luck. Mixed reception is always promising, though the reports of broken classic VO are troubling. Hoping that'll get swiftly patched, and hoping I won't have to give myself a crash course in unity modding just for this, but in case you feel insane enough to play along at home, here's some of my reading material

Finally playing this after waiting for so long for this update to come out. Didn't take long to fuck up

But the game is really well written. I was skeptical about playing a game (still finding it hard to call this a game) that is all about conversations, but the writing completely makes up for everything else that is missing. Looking forward to continuing.

I liked DE, mind you, but I would also struggle to call it a game. It has extremely light RPG elements, but plays more like a VN / CYOA book than anything. Although those are games too, I guess.

The loading times are absolutely insane now, they should not have released the patch in this state.
On the lighter note, I'm now wondering if you can beat the whole game without realizing you're missing a gun. This means you can't talk to Evrart, can't talk to precint 41, and can't try shooting down the body. At the very least.

Finally sat down and played some. What the fuck, ZA/UM? I repeat: WHAT THE FUCK?! When someone gets 'definitive edition', 'final cut edition', 'enchanced edition', whatever huge auto-update it's only natural that there might be the chance he would prefer to play as it was before, to have an option to do so.

Your 'classic mode' in current state is a fucking joke, useless because it plays nothing like OG, not even close because of narrator voice. I don't want to volume down VO completely, I want an option for the original bits of VO, what were you thinking? If you have to release a separate build in steam to do it then fucking do it. Thanks.

It's been over a year, and codex is still screeching about this game not being an RPG.

Anyway, watched a bit of a stream earlier. They fucked up with the narration. The character voice used in the text isn't always consistent, and can be quite emotive, but they just directed the narrator to read them like it's a neutral, omniscient narrative. It gets even worse when he's reading out the skills' dialogue.

Currently mulling it over on if it's worth it to reinstall to see the new quests. It's like, 4 mutually exclusive ones, right? My autism would compel me to pursue the first one as my "ideal" playthrough, which means doing a bunch of shit in the exact same way as I have before.

Well, if you insist.

The returning actors, especially Kim, definitely aren't missing a single beat. the old and new lines blend seamlessly.

Is there any new content or did they just add new voice acting and break things?

Yes, that one. Also, I just talked to Cindy the Skull. Of all new VAs, hers is by far the worst.

You need to take down the body so you shoot or you call Evrart, no idea if there Is a third way.

Also, you're borrowing Kim's gun, not use your own.

Was thinking this update would be a great way to experience the game for the first time, but those comments about shitty voice acting and not being able to roll back don't inspire confidence in my decision:

If you don't have prior attachment to the old voices, I think it'll be fine.
