That Disco Elysium - Final Cut reveal was wild.
So they're
fully voice acting the entire game now.
A game script that is
over a million words.
That sounds like an incredible undertaking and I commend the dev's ambition. As well as making it a free update for current owners.
BUT.
Part of me hopes that you can still play the update with the voice acting turned off.
A large part of Disco's appeal to me is the literary nature of the game. I enjoy sitting back and reading what is essentially several novels in this game. It's why I enjoy peer experiences like Sunless Seas/Skies.
So while I'm looking forward to the update in March, and will def. give the new voicework a try, I ultimately hope that I can still play the game as it was originally released.
(That's not even getting into the possibility of poor voice acting here and there ruining the atmosphere.)
