I was never a fan of spoken dialogue in games anyway. I kinda miss when games had limited space and needed to use text for this.
I like it but, as an avid reader, I see where you're coming from. But I think with the 'democratization'
and capitalization of gaming, making it available for the broadest audience possible and goes where the money flows, and the move to more cinematic-interactive experiences, the move to spoken dialogue is inevitable.
I agree, though, that limitations often sparks imagination both for the artist and recipient. When text boxes back then could only show one or three sentences tops, you're writing had to be concise and narrative-serving to the word. Any unnecessary word would prompt another text box and unnecessary button pushes for little gain, both mechanically and narratively.
Nowadays some characters will simply never end talking, still adding a sentence after you thought they already got across their point, while being edger to move on with the gameplay.
Anyways, many games still have great dialogues. As for AH, I can't tell since it's still downloading. If it's the English voice acting that sucks I can still switch to my native language and hope for the better. Maybe some writing flaws are hidden by the translation, which I've often encountered in several media (e. g. some Final Fantasy Games, some Animes have way better and more truthful translation in German than in English; latest example being Demon Slayer)
That is some straight up weird shit. The SteamOS version has a weird glitch that makes human skin materials look like glitching holograms and the fix is some equally weird settings toggling.
