The way the henchman ramble on can get quite annoying. And when they talk during battle it gets just as bad. It can often be a bit difficult to tell if it's a hench of a player in your group saying something. I've heard many complain about this new "feature" in game. So this is a suggestion to toggle hench talk off.

I really like the chatter the henchmen use now. But if it is toggled for personal preference:

This was ok like the first time you saw it but it gets annoying real fast. There is nothing like having Lucas in your party and in the middle of a fight he pops up a friken novel about how good he is right in the middle of your view.

...Henches are AI, and as far as I know, AI doesn't have rights. Except the rights to steal all your good drops. The First Amendment only applies in America, so the henches elsewhere would be suppressed, judging by your logic. Your attempt at cuteness = fail.

Whatever, before I go too far offtopic...

Henchies were annoying enough without talking, and I've seen them say some things that in real life they'd be beaten up for. lol

i agree with the speech toggle, and when u toggle it off put all the henches in ball gags.

I wish they'd also shut them up altogether, more specifically Talon Silverwing. That was a thread in itself a while back but he still pisses me off with those annoying bird sounds, especially on long stretches of empty ground when every 2 secs he'd grunt as if he was exhausted. You'd think that Tengu were more fit than that .

It's interesting the first time but eventually it just turns into a giant box that gets in your way.

Rather than this, I'd like an option to make that lines appear ALSO in the chat window. I miss many of them because they speak out of screen and the text balloon disappears too soon.

Two new chackboxes lines under the 'damage text' options should be enough, shouldn't them?
One to show them as boxes and one to show tham as line.

Uncheck them both an no lines would appear.

I was just wishing for the option to disable talking henchmen yesterday, because a couple of them simultaneously popped up some huge dialogue bubbles in a fight and obscured my view of the enemies. Lame. Either that or make henchmen shut up while fighting or be limited to one-liners when fighting.

One liners! Yeah! Like, Eve could say, "Always bet on black!" Or Stephan could say, "Asta la vista, baby!" One liners would be great!

I would still keep them on however, just give the option for people who find it annoying, personally I love it when my monk hench yells out

"there healer is a sissy...A SISSY"

That is one of Kihm's quotes.
Read this:
* "Come over here and try that again!"
* "Don't think about your wound. That's my job! Think about your enemy!"
* "Get that guy over there! You know we can take him!"
* "Just keep fighting! You'll be fine. Trust me!"
* "Just slap a bandage on that. You'll be fine."
* "Let me at them! I'll give them something to heal!"
* "Let's bust out and crack some heads!"
* "Nobody busts up my friends and leaves them bleeding."
* "Oh, no, you didn't!"
* "Their healer's a sissy! You hear me? SISSY!"
* "Watch your backside, or you'll get spanked!"
* "What do you think this is? Playtime?
* "You wanna fight or dance? Make up your mind!"

I don't remember wich one, but I once saw a line from a monk saying like
"Do that again and I'll tun smitting"



And you want to remove them...
