Dialogue subtitles

Battleborn Battleborn General Discussion

first, I’m not good at English, so please consider about it.

I really like watch(read and listen) in-game character’s conversation or talk to oneself, but I can’t understand their talk half or more part if game not provide script because my listening skill is not good(I’m studying english everyday but still need script in first time)
nice example is Evolve(Turtle Rock Studios). Evolve have uh, really big subtitles. I can read all conversation(they print everything) so can understand their humor or character setting(like where they come from)
I know make subtitles for all talk is really annoying job so can’t push my opinion, but please consider this request positively.

Hey, youg!

I am not english either, so I understand your request. Both you and me would have loved to have subtitles each time our characters say something and we want to understand their humor and backstory!

But something like that is really difficult. That is because these lines of dialogue are not scripted, but rather trigger randomly when specific requirements are met. For example, Orendi has a line saying “Nullify!” when she uses her Nullify ability. At the same time, though, she also has other lines which might trigger when she uses that same ability. So, the sound she makes, the sound file that plays, when she uses Nullify is random and may differ between uses. That way, it is really difficult and a lot of work to create seperate subtitles each time and show every time the correct subtitle. You can only do that in a scripted situation, like with the dialogue in the main campaign.

Gearbox are pretty keen on accessibility, so…you never know. They might do it.

Hi, from Japan!
Thank you for localizing into Japanese, but the subtitles are too small to read them. It is difficult to understand what is happening in the battleground.
Some people who are playing with the monitor on the desk wouldn’t mind but I’m playing this lovely game on TV in the living room.
Would you please let me change the size of subtitles?
