Most AAA, big-budget games nowadays include a number of features that make the gameplay less tedious. Their sole purpose is to reduce boredom by getting rid of mundane tasks and unwanted fluff that don’t contribute to the actual gaming experience. Forspoken is no stranger to such practices, and in this guide, you’ll learn a few tips and tricks to help you enjoy the game even more.
How to make Cuff and Frey speak less in Forspoken?
Scuff’s endless sarcastic commentary sounds fun in the beginning, but it soon nosedives into mindless banter. It’s quite irritating, especially if you want to concentrate on the game. Here are a few ways to shut him up, or at least make his constant jibber-jabber more bearable.
Disabling controller speakers – By default, the speaker on a PS5 controller is turned on. Do yourself a favor and turn it off from the settings menu; otherwise, Cuff will chew your head off with his incessant rants.
Adjusting Cuff’s chat frequency – Cuff’s chat frequency can be adjusted from within the game. Go to Accessibility Settings > Cuff Chat Frequency and adjust it according to your preferences. The high setting makes Cuff chat nonstop. The minimal setting makes him chat a decent amount, and the low setting limits his dialogues to essential story events only. The default setting does exactly what its name suggests.
How to automatically pick up items in Forspoken?
There are a bunch of resources (rocks, fungi, flowers, and feathers) in Forspoken, and picking all of them manually can get very boring very quickly. Therefore, instead of stopping every few steps to pick an item, you can simply automate the entire task and keep playing the game without any worries.
Simply go to Accessibility Settings > World Settings > Activate Automatic Item Gathering. Once activated, all crafting materials (excluding the ones inside chests) are automatically transferred to your inventory whenever you walk past them.
