I quite liked the ending, and thought it was a hilarious way to finish it. Maybe I'm alone, however I honestly did like that as it seemed typical of a Monty Python thing.

I think this is why I love the Netherlands so much. People are just direct! Not once have I thought people were rude. If this is an issue for you, I would definitely recommend a place like Amsterdam.
And omg the trams..

I genuinely prefer Ronan Keating's version of Words

I have the Bee Gees original on vinyl, yet I always go back to Keating.

Ah fuck. Sorry man, I hope someone can figure it out. It's a very new game, so hopefully more people take enough notice for a fix to be implemented.

Otherwise, I found an article which seems to allude to advanced volume settings to 'normalise audio', on an Xbox, in a similar way: https://support.xbox.com/en-GB/help/hardware-network/display-sound/choosing-speaker-audio-output

If you're using a Playstation, it may be worth digging around in your system settings. Sometimes the option is referred to as 'equalise', 'dynamic range', etc.

Hope this helps!

Sponsorblock usually helps with that.

I installed the game myself and had a look, unfortunately you're right. My speakers are decent with hearing everything, however I can definitely notice the vocals being considerably lower than the music and such.

There is a way to normalise audio levels from within Windows sound settings, you just have to remember to revert once you're done playing.
This seems to be a good article about it: https://pureinfotech.com/normalize-sound-volume-windows-10/

It's a workaround, but it should help with the game and anything else you'd have this issue with. If you're using Linux, unfortunately I can't help. Good luck!

Reading this made me sad. I want all of this back, too.

This sounds like the issue I had a good while ago, before realising something I was using was trying to output as surround sound, whereas I only had stereo speakers (so some sounds seemed normal, some incredibly low).

Just thought of giving that a mention. It may be worth having a look in your game settings, if there is an option to output as Stereo.

Hoping to get my driving license, London and public transport didn't give me a need to drive despite knowing how to (shh), and at my age it could be a great benefit moving forward so I figure a small refresher and the exam will do me good.

Also been saving up, separately, for an upcoming holiday to the Netherlands. My mother's health can take a turn any day, so I wanted to take her to my favourite part of the world while I still could. Got a few things planned.

I tried to stop someone from taking her life about 14 and a half years ago, failed, and it still haunts me on some days. Been thinking of finding a counsellor who specifies in grief, it's never too late. Got a few services in mind, just need to make the call.
