How to Mute Pawns in Dragon's Dogma 2

Dragon's Dogma 2 features helpful companions called Pawns, but their constant chatter can quickly become annoying. Fortunately, the game offers various settings to mute or customize Pawn dialogue, allowing players to enjoy the adventure without the incessant babble. This guide will walk you through the process of silencing your Pawns and finding the best dialogue settings for your playthrough.

Muting Pawns Completely

To completely mute your Pawns in Dragon's Dogma 2, you'll need to adjust a few settings:

1. Pawn Voices: Navigate to System > Options > Sound > Pawn Voices and slide the control all the way to the left. This will silence all Pawn voices, including during battles, exploration, and cutscenes.
2. Pawn Dialogue: Go to System > Options > Interface > Pawn Dialogue and turn it off. This removes the text that appears above a Pawn's head when they speak.
3. Subtitles: Access this setting under System > Options > Language > Subtitles and turn it off. This will remove all subtitles, including those at the bottom of the screen during conversations and cutscenes.

Keep in mind that muting Pawn voices entirely may lead to some odd moments where their mouths move without any sound. If you prefer a more immersive experience, consider lowering the volume instead of turning it off completely.

Finding the Best Pawn Dialogue Settings

While Pawns can be annoying, they occasionally offer helpful information. To strike a balance between reducing their chatter and still receiving useful tips, try the following settings:

1. Pawn Voices: Set the slider to the middle (around 5). This lowers the volume of Pawn's voice without completely silencing them.
2. Pawn Dialogue: Turn this setting off to remove the text above Pawns' heads.
3. Subtitles: Keep subtitles turned on. This way, you can still read Pawn's dialogue at the bottom of the screen if you miss what they say.

These settings provide a comfortable middle ground, allowing you to hear Pawns when necessary without being constantly bombarded by their chatter. The subtitles will serve as a backup if you can't hear them clearly.

Experiment with different configurations to find what works best for you, and keep an eye out for future updates that may introduce more convenient ways to manage Pawn dialogue.
