For those who’re one of many many of us that disliked the way in which God of Battle Ragnarok handles providing up useful hints when it thinks you want them, and the PC port’s efforts to supply an possibility to cut back the quantity it dishes out, you are seemigly in luck. There’s now a mod that gives a little bit of an anti-hint nuclear possibility, by eliminating over 1,000 strains of companion chatter.
You would possibly bear in mind Ragnarok’s plentiful hint-offering as having precipitated a little bit of a discourse – you already know the sort – across the recreation’s launch, with some gamers arguing that it acquired a bit too heavy handed too rapidly when it got here to puzzles. Very similar to all that debate round yellow paint getting used to point climbable stuctures and ledges, it was a little bit of a case of immersion versus accessibility, and definitely by no means simply descended into individuals shouting at one another about video video games on the web.
Effectively, modder Mophead01 was clearly within the ‘cease serving to me do a factor’ camp, having now created a mod known as ‘Please Shut Up’, which “removes over 1500+ pointless/patronising voice strains” from Ragnarok.
“A variety of this handholdy dialogue comes throughout as extremely annoying, so I’ve created this mod in an effort to utterly take away most of this dialogue bloat and let gamers suppose for themselves,” the modder wrote, “Please keep in mind this mod is a work-in-progress, it takes a very long time to establish these voice strains so extra dialogue might be filtered out in future patches.
“Up to now I’ve eliminated 1500+ voice strains from the sport, however there’s nonetheless extra to come back. For this present model I’ve primarily centered on the fight dialogues as they’re very outstanding within the recreation and simple to establish. Sadly, the puzzle-related dialogue is commonly intertwined with story/cutscene dialogue so figuring out them is much more difficult and might be my focus in future variations if this mod proves well-liked sufficient.”
Mophead01 does acknowledge Santa Monica Studio’s efforts to supply gamers with an possibility that tones down the puzzle hints – by way of an possibility within the Gameplay Settings tab of the PC port that the developer additionally revealed it plans to deliver to console “quickly”. Nevertheless, they declare that “from my observations this has executed little to resolve the issue”.
As of proper now, the mod – which already eliminates extra dialogue strains than ‘Shut Up Aloy’, a Horizon Forbidden West mod which “silences over 900 strains” of chatter and puzzle hinting that the Nora machine hunter dishes out – can rid you of situations like “companions telling you to protect strike”, “Mimir reacting to you getting hit by hearth, frost or bifrost”, and “Atreus gifting away the answer to the Svartalfheim geyser puzzles in the course of the boat sections.”
