The ghetto area is particularly troublesome. A little more audio separation would have helped the areas feel more natural. Honestly it’s a little ridiculous how many conversations you hear clearly. Characters never seem to be going anywhere or doing anything other than muttering sound bytes….all at the same time. Unfortunately, I’m often reminded of that era in the clumsy execution of areas and NPCs. ![]() Many fans clamor for the good old days of 2000’s landmark Deus Ex.
