I know this is going to be painful to hear for a 100gb game but have you tried reinstalling the game? I had an issue on PS5 when the game first came out that only went away after a reinstall. I don’t believe there is a setting to disable the narrator voice.
What gift? Im struggling to think of anything at the end of act 2 that is given to Tav.
Edit: I thought some more on it, do you mean the astral gift? If thats the gift you took then you could play it like this: Emp used his persuasion to convince you to take the gift. You realized it was a trap and now you will use those powers to betray Emp. Free the person in the bubble and free yourself from the ghaik. You are restored to humanity if the BBEG dies. I tried to be mostly spoiler free in case you hadn’t played through fully already.
Oh I’m aware. I was saying he is the only Vulcan I could realistically take in a fight. Because he’s old and sickly. And who wouldn’t want to pon farr TPring?
Well I finished up Honor mode a few days later than I thought. But I did find out that sending Gale up the stem at the end does skip the final fight and still rewards the golden dice. Good luck!
