Ironically, while investigating the whole thing one of fans called the actress who had played Zoë in Dreamfall and she initially believed he was offering her to reprise her role in Chapters, which she was allegedly very enthusiastic about. When Red Thread Games announced that the game would not be released as a single entity but rather split into chapters, CD Projekt had to pull the plug on the whole project. One of those was Poland's cdp.pl who had already confirmed that the newest installment of the much beloved there saga would, just like the previous two, receive full Polish voice over. No Export for You: The final decision to have the game cut into episodes made things very difficult for quite a few foreign publishers, who ended up not being able to release the game in a particular language.Said character never appears in the game, and is only alluded to once when Crow reveals she's dead. Missing Trailer Scene: The 2013 trailer which consists of mostly pre-alpha footage, and an alternate design for Zoe, also features a brief appearance of Benrime (the owner of the tavern "The Journey Man").It is even Lampshaded, as getting discovered unlocks an achievement named "I thought there wouldn't be stealth!" Lying Creator: Despite promises that a stealth mechanic wouldn't be present in the game, due to the criticism it received in Dreamfall, stealth sections do appear in Books 2 and 4, though they are a lot simpler and more forgiving compared to the ones in Dreamfall.Limited Special Collector's Ultimate Edition: Several collector's editions of ever-increasing size have been offered as Kickstarter incentives, with the Draic Kin Edition definitely taking the cake.Some players of both products found the similarities more appealing, and a few even believe that they did a few aspects about the Telltale formula better than Telltale. Follow the Leader: This game features a good number of Story Branching choices, popularized by Telltale Games' The Walking Dead series in 2012.That's longer than it took to deliver the original Dreamfall after The Longest Journey, except this time, Tørnquist apparently had the whole plot gathering dust for six goddamn years. Development Hell: The game was announced in 2007 but wasn't released until 2014.I can't believe that actually no one else complained about this, because I found immersive sound much more important then the graphical quality of a game.Beware of unmarked spoilers further down the page. Or is there a way to enable it somehow in config files? It works with all other games I play (older and new ones), but Dreamfall Chapters seems to be a Stereo Only game.Ī missed opportunity in my opinion and I hope they will still add suport for at least 5.1 surround sound in a future patch. I use high-end Hi-Fi speakers with a receiver and double checked all settings in Windows to make sure surround output works. It's a shame, because it could make Dreamfall Chapters much more immersive and unforgettable. No voice-overs in the center, no surroundpanning with soundeffects. Besides the somewhat slow start of the game and the bugs (performance, glitches, etc.) I enjoy it, but I get less sucked in the world of Dreamfall Chapters, because of the missing surround sound. There was no surround sound whatsoever!! Only stereo. I'm a big fan of Dreamfall The Longest Journey and always liked how I was sucked in the game because of the great story and effective surround sound (back in the days it even had EAX 4 hardware sound and an option for discrete 8.1 (!) surround), but I was completely surprised when I began to play Dreamfall Chapters.
