Idk If Its The Actual Game Design Or Am I Over Analyzing - Tumblr Posts

Been thinking about the audio world of the witcher 3. At first I was annoyed with how loud everything was. The wind, leaves moving, wild life or monsters making noises in the woods.

The thing is, the way everything sounds in the game feels exactly like how I experience voice during a sensory overload. The distorter chatter, wind howling, something moving in the bushes, voices filling my ears until i feel myself get lost in the voice.
