I thought you want that panel like this, but if you have a technical reason for it, then ok, I can respect that.. it will be distracting though, because action is on the left and the text is on the right, just so you know about it..
I don't mind great story or long texts, but quality over quantity.. wouldn't be possible to make an option for less text ? like in Fallout 2 (verbose/brief) ?
ok, I see, one voice is nothing, so no more MANTIS, I guess.. after more than a half year of waiting, this is really sad :/ at least we have a new game..
