If you happen to’re one of many many people that disliked the best way God of Conflict Ragnarok handles providing up useful hints when it thinks you want them, and the PC port’s efforts to offer an choice to scale 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 choice, by eliminating over 1,000 traces of companion chatter.
You may keep in mind Ragnarok’s plentiful hint-offering as having precipitated a little bit of a discourse – the sort – across the recreation’s launch, with some gamers arguing that it obtained a bit too heavy handed too shortly 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 folks 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 traces” from Ragnarok.
“A number of this handholdy dialogue comes throughout as extremely annoying, so I’ve created this mod in an effort to fully take away most of this dialogue bloat and let gamers assume for themselves,” the modder wrote, “Please keep in mind this mod is a work-in-progress, it takes a very long time to determine these voice traces so extra dialogue will probably be filtered out in future patches.
“Up to now I’ve eliminated 1500+ voice traces 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 straightforward to determine. Sadly, the puzzle-related dialogue is commonly intertwined with story/cutscene dialogue so figuring out them is much more difficult and will probably be my focus in future variations if this mod proves standard sufficient.”
Mophead01 does acknowledge Santa Monica Studio’s efforts to offer gamers with an choice that tones down the puzzle hints – through an choice 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 accomplished little to resolve the issue”.
As of proper now, the mod – which already eliminates extra dialogue traces than ‘Shut Up Aloy‘, a Horizon Forbidden West mod which “silences over 900 traces” 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 fireplace, frost or bifrost”, and “Atreus giving freely the answer to the Svartalfheim geyser puzzles in the course of the boat sections.”
