    Although I'm sure our input is welcome I don't know that it extends quite so far into the technical aspects as much as we would like or hope.

    So starting at the outermost layers, something that I really like in this game is the wind. Just the simple sound effect of the wind blowing is very enjoyable to me and I find it inspires my mind to wander about the scene I'm in.

    I also like the bard in Soltown, and the ticking of the clock there in the tavern with the banking automoton. I've sat in there for hours probably considering the skill tree and different builds, or organizing my bank inventory.

    Tick-tock..Tick-tock..Tick-tock..

    I agree...

    But other than during thunderstorms, it invariably blows out of the west.

    i have to admit, the thunderstorms in this game are amazing. the lighting effects during the storm are so realistic.

    wish it would storm more often, i haven't seen it in a long while now...

    Agreed, love the wind and thunderstorms. Would love to see more fog, especially in those "coastal" templates/scenes. The constant fog in Brookside is outstanding and lends a lot to the feel of that town.

    Now , if they'd just replace the awful jumping sound with something of similar quality.

    I agree. The soundsmithing in this game is quite extraordinary. It's definitely a hidden gem.


    The sound effects are MUCH more apparent when using headphones. Also be sure your sound sliders are all up.

    Headphones or no, I neither hear the rain nor footsteps.

    Are there footstep noises?

    Agreed! The thunderstorms are one of the best effects in this game, the first time I experienced it I was really shocked how awesome this was done. Too bad I have not seen them for a few months already.
    They should add more heavy weather effects. And ofc. make them work correctly ;)
