Question for the devs (slight spoilers)

[Fallen]

why the hell can we hear ambient parseltongue, when our character is not a parselmouth? it was even made clear during the mission when this is revealed that our character cannot hear the parseltongue voices, but the ambient voices are still there and you can sometimes even hear what sounds like parseltongue outside of this mission off and on.

you really should have just made the character a direct descendant of Slytherin and a parselmouth from the get go if you were going to include this audio.

Well you know what the devs are gonna say? Ancient magic

[TLG1999]

Yeah, we could've gotten the chamber of secrets as an explore able location. Would've made role playing a slytherin more fun. Or a quest to drag gaunt to the spot. This 'Ancient Magic' is supposed to be quite powerful, It's ultimately quite useless outside of fighting.

Probably because the devs thought it would be cool and add to the ambiance. You're right it doesn't make any sense lorewise, but then again there's a lot more that doesn't make any sense. Like us being able to use the unforgivable curses like they're just any other spell. Even the game explains you have to really want to use them in order to be able to. You have to really want to cause pain or outright kill someone in order to be able to cast the unforgivable curses, which is why they are unforgivable.
