No music and no voiceover during the first/intro cutscenes?

Is this intended? I am having a hard time getting immersed in the campaign because some of the first conversation cutscenes have no music playing. This would be ok if the cutscenes were voiced, but they're not. So I am sitting in complete silence, besides a few bird chirps here and there, reading conversation text like in a visual novel, and then when the cutscene ends the music comes back.

The cutscenes would work a 100x better with voice acting, but if that's not possible, at least add some basic calm background music to help the immersion. I legit checked my sound settings thinking something was off, but no that seems to be the intended experience?

Apologies for being a complainer on the forums, but I really have not seen something like this before. The rest of the game, such as visuals and the snappiness of combat are great, including the music and sounds, so it really contrasts with the lack of sound in the cutscenes.

Hi! Thank you for the feedback. If you are refering to the beginning of mission 1 as well as beginning of mission 2 in the Arleon campagin, it is a design choice with the music quiet and the let ambient sounds immerse you instead. But I can understand some of these moments are just too quiet. I'll take a look at this.

Regarding voice acting, is that ever coming in the future or is it not an option? Definitely would be interesting to hear how some characters sound, especially the non-human races and brother Hillar.
