but srsly what are they called: game audio dynamics

Like, Solas would say something really interesting about the fade as we're exploring in the back and I'd be like "WHAT DID YOU SAY IN THE BACK THERE? WHAT?"

And finally in the Western Approach, the camera actually cuts to him when he responds to Erimond about "that might just make things worse" killing the archdemons pre-emptively, I was like YAAASSS, YYAAASS SOLAS FINALLY.

God. Speak the fuck up.

LOL Ahh yes, I dunno what technical term they use for there system to determine sound drop off over distance or whatever value BioWare is ultimately using for 'Speech audio'. But it suuucks balls in DAI when it's not just at normal full volume regardless of distance. ANY conversation or banter should just be straight up full volume, screw how far away we are.

As for why it'll do something like base it off the camera instead of the character (not that you asked)... you'd get weird audio cues on right/left. Say your characters looking at the camera, and a sound places off to your right... hah! gotcha, it's actually to your left cause that's the other left! No, the other other left! or... whatever it's important for not confusing players in case anyone was wondering.

Hope they either don't do conversations like that in MEA or we get full volume for all conversations.
