Sam doesn't bother me. Maybe he should have shorter warnings: Mining Area! or Life Support Dropping! Or add an option to disable Sam's warnings, but not remove them. Many times they were useful, didn't even notice health was almost gone when fighting for too long, or moving around on foot for too long :D And yes, Sam is an asset sometimes, telling you to scan, or search for more clues, which are important to move ahead with the mission.

My main issue is the constant, this zone can be used for mining.. Yes sam. I know that. That's why i opened the mining interface in the first place, no, i do not want to hear about there being resources around because i already know that.

At the very least it would be nice to have it so that:

 

Mining zones and the followup repeated "how to" tutorial every time should not be played more than a few times at start of game.

 

Temperature warnings should have a toggle AND/OR only play it every so often or when it actually is critical that you need to get back to Nomad ASAP / safe zone.

Please add my voice to this old ticket.  It needs to be changed ASAP.  On planets with quickly changing temps it gets annoying and also in the way of the game since his warning can over ride party banter.  Maybe change it so his warning is tied to the tutorial or help check mark in the options.

The only time it really bothers me ismif I am fighting or searching a camp near a lamp - in and out of the lamp radious is litterally one warning after the other.

When driving I like to know if ive moved into a not safe zone or from a lvl 1 to lvl 2 hazard for sure for when I jump out - so I can be prepped for life support dropping.

SAM makes me sick ... really sick. I'm 48 years old and I don't understand, how a developer can harm the player this way?!

 

Please ... let this guy or girl play on Voeld 8h per day, 1 week ... I'm sure this person will never ever make such kind of BS.

 

There is NO need to tell me, that it is TOO hot or TOO cold very 3 seconds!!!

 

And PLEASE ... stop him to tell me, I'm in a mining area AFTER opening the mining interface!!!

 

Its like a car telling me that I'm accelerating after I'm accelerating!!!

more than 3 month since report, what do developers do... SAM's warnings make the game unplayable! Voeld and Elaaden are a real ordeal to be explored! Please add an option to turn off SAM's warnings, It's getting more and more urgent!

 

Or tell me where are the audio files for SAM's warning, I'll replace it by empty audio files with the same name ...

Come on "unplayable". Yes, they are annoying and needs to be toned down but not turned off. I have on occasion been thankful for the warning "life support is critical".

For Elaaden I go straight for the Vault. No more heat warning.

For those on PC who want to disable the majority of SAM's voice prompts, here's a mod that does this:
