Disco Elysium News

Text size is still a common theme among player concerns about many of the biggest and best PC games around, with subtitles and other in-game text often appearing on the smaller side in newer releases. The good news, though, is that one of the best RPGs of our time has just got easier to read with the addition of some font-enlarging gameplay updates.

Disco Elysium's Version e6fdd6fa patch - catchy, I know - is only billed as a small update by developer ZA/UM, but the positive changes it makes could be pretty significant for a lot of players who struggle to make out in-game text. The patch notes list just a handful of tweaks, but two important ones - the first of which is announced in grand capitals - is "BIGGER FONT SIZES". Additionally, other adjustments fold in "bigger and cleaner" UI elements and "lots of visual fixes for smoother, more coherent visual experience".

While Disco Elysium is now fully voiced through its Final Cut edition, its gameplay and story still hinge on a significant amount of text, so this is a really key and positive change for those who'd love to see it offer options for bigger fonts.

Baldur's Gate and Planescape Torment enhanced editions publisher working on new IP

Baldur's Gate 3 is in development, according to its original publisher

Little-CRPG-that-could Baldur's Gate 3 has solved the Labyrinth, outwitted the Sphinx and ascended to the rank of Metacritic's highest-rated PC game of all time, knocking ZA/UM's Disco Elysium into second place. (OK, so technically they're both on 97, but I'm guessing the "score distillation" arithmetic behind-the-scenes puts Baldur's Gate 3 ahead - their positions were reversed last time I checked.) This follows a busy weekend for Larian's new game, which exceeded its own online player activity record on Sunday to the tune of around 875,000 players.

It's a terrific achievement for one of the richest and most rewarding D&D adaptations ever set to code. It's also only going to encourage those on the interwebs who are using Baldur's Gate 3's success as a stick to beat other developers with. As you've likely discovered for yourself, the new game is the centre of a raging discussion about what we should expect from today's "triple-A games", aka "biggest/shiniest". Some point to its lack of microtransactions or DRM, while others highlight its relative technical sturdiness and overall "quality". A few people go into specifics: I've read a couple of thoughtful comments comparing the bespoke, one-and-done nature of Baldur's Gate 3 quests with open world action titles and other genres that hinge on repeated quest formulas and reward systems.
