Any option to disable the immersion breaking narrator?
"you see this" "you do this" it's all pretty immersion breaking. Is there really no way to turn this off? It's really spoiling me getting into the story. Why would they use something like this that's going to break the immersion?

I too find it weird that this dungeons and dragons game uses a narrator like table rpgs would

Never played DnD but i heard its like table top fantasy with a dungeon master who would say this sort of thing. THERE it makes sense.

It doesn't make sense in a computer game to break the fourth wall like that.

Do you not know what DnD is?

Its X number of players in a group with a DM or "dungeon master" who tells a story, they are the narrator. You are playing the character in that story the DM is telling

Because it's a D&D game.. that's how it works in tabletop, the DM / GM is the narrator. It's a very nice and welcome touch, especially for those of us who play the traditional tabletop. I for one enjoy it and find it welcoming (Pillars of Eternity 2 also did this to a lesser extent, was nice there as well).

The cutscenes and characters are doing a fine job of that. Yes, in table top dungeons and dragons you would have this sort of thing, not in a video game. It's like if you had dolly parton narrating gordon freeman's adventures in Black Mesa. It just doesnt fit.

The narrator is good; highly skilled VA. It's intended to give it a more cinematic feel or feel like you are in a tabletop D&D session (where the lady would be the DM). It also helps save time for slower readers.

No, complaining about what is being said, not who is saying it.

That would actually get me to play Black Mesa.

Thats where i think you are confused. You think its weird because you think you are playing a character within the fantasy setting of DND.

But you actually are the player, controlling the character set within the story the DM is telling you.

The narration is there because she's basically your DM like in the tabletop. I don't believe you can turn it off.
