Hi Bungie,
Once again.. on day one release, its totally ruined things .This takes the cake tho!
What on earth has happened to this release? Where is the sound? Where is the Dialogue sound?
Half of a Game is the Audio!! (Audio / Visual)
A_U_D_I_O..
I have missed a massive portion of this "Act" story, the main point (for me at least) is to hear the audio bites in the background, as I am busy doing other in-game things, like reconfigure my character build or clear vault stuff, etc..
Now, i am unable to do that so easily "Without Audio" messing with the flow of the game bungie!
The Lack of audio has wrecked the story portion and having to read the subtitles..
That Audio "issue" has been yet another problem (a long, long string of problems),
idk why I still bother.
Not very accessible or inclusive for people with disabilities imho!
What if I was dyslexic of something and had reading problems? No Audio and Only text (as is the case now)

What I'm reading is the voice actors have been on strike since July last year. There isn't anyone available to read out the dialogue.

Hollywood actors have some kind of union & go on strike every now & then, cuz apparently making millions isnt enough for them. Back in 2006, lots of TV shows just suddenly stopped & got cancelled mid-season, with no series conclusion, cuz the actors went on strike. I dont really blame Bungie for this one, altho I wonder why they didnt just hire new actors for the Heresy release? Unless their contracts didnt allow.

However, we have enabled subtitles by default for this release to ensure players do not miss any narrative content. Within your Gameplay settings, we offer a variety of customization options for subtitles to help with accessibility and general visibility of narrative content. You can alter their size, color, background, show the speaker's name, and more before the launch of Heresy to prepare for introductory sequences impacted by this change. Additionally, Heresy activities that have missing voice acting will display a warning before launching those activities.[/quote]
