Sure, go into the settings screen and turn the game volume to zero.

You don't have to use the game volume as that would mute the whole game.

Goto
Options > Sound
Voice Volume = 0.

Even though this will also mute any other kind of conversation.

I'll try this out! Do all of the conversations have subtitles?

They dropped the ball big time on the PDA voice.

The first game the PDA voice was charming yet epic.

This sounds like a pile of ♥♥♥♥ done by a program like Microsoft Sam

It sounds like they made it indian with bad english to be more inclusive. Even though it harms the quality of the game.

There is a mod that replaces the PDA voice with a different one. Unfortunately, it's not the same as the one from the original, but it may be an improvement if you strongly dislike or can't clearly understand the current voice.

I keep going to say "no thank you I am not interested in upgrading my broadband today", but then I realise I'm playing Subnautica.
Immersion level - 10/10

Yeah, inclusivity is sh**. Most of the time it hinders everyone's appreciation of the game would have been much better if they didn't go this way. They literally soiled what could have been a diamond, just to please some people that represent less than 1% of the population and less than 5% of their sales.
I don't understand. Do they think they'll get "points" that will grant them access to heaven? It doesn't make sense to me, I would never betray myself and sabotage my work just to please random people that don't even like me.

Its not just them though. Everyone is trying to jump on this pathetic "woke" wagon in case they're labelled something ending with ist or obe. What a ridiculous and disgusting time we live in. The same people who want you to accept their differences are also the ones who don't want you to have an opinion unless it aligns with theirs.

I didn't think the PDA voice was a "woke" thing. I interpreted it as Xenoworx only having ♥♥♥♥♥♥ knock-off tech compared to Alterra's more premium stuff.

Haha that is a funny way to see it.
It wasn't just that though, it was the character lore through voice logs that made me feel there seemed to be atleast 2 gay couples and the main protagonist is female and black. But don't get me wrong I am not a hater. I just don't like stuff laid on so thick that it cringes me. From my pov it does feel like they tried to cover every angle in order to appeal to the "woke" audience. But thats just me. There is so much wrong with the game in far bigger ways than that.

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
