How do I disable reaction voice?

[ClericalRodent]

The damned thing won't let me advance dialogue making the game basically unplayable. I tried googling and found one solution that said to disable all HID devices, but doing that also disables my controller (I don't really like using mouse and keyboard for this game). Is there any way to get rid of the thing while also being able to play the way I want to?

What is the actual problem you're having?

Most people's experience with reaction voice is seeing it pop up maybe once or twice their whole playthrough, and have trouble even figuring out how to intentionally bring it up.

In other words, it sounds like whatever you're seeing is abnormal, and warrants description.

That said, if I were to take a shot in the dark, I'd guess that you're moving the right analog stick. Or maybe you're experiencing some drift or sticky inputs, so that the game is receiving a "right analog stick moved" command even though you think it's in neutral.

Ok, it seems to have been because I was using both sticks when exploring. What happened was that the reaction voice was appearing constantly and not going away until I had clicked it at least 10 times. I wasn't using the right stick in conversations, but as I mentioned, I did use it while exploring.
I tried playing again, using only left stick for exploring and that seems to have done the trick. I haven't had a problem yet

Ah, I'm glad you were able to resolve the problem.

It's interesting that's the cause, though. I wonder, maybe, if the game is "buffering" your right stick inputs? Like... the right stick doesn't do anything immediately, so it just holds onto them. Then later when you have a chance to do reaction voice, it remembers you did all those right stick inputs, and dutifully gives you the reaction voice popup.

I should experiment with it sometime, see if I can get the same effect on my computer.
