Please add trigger warnings to intense moments in the MSQ

It's not the developer's responsibility to try to please or accomodate everyone. They try as they may according to reasonable efforts and laws and restrictions applicable to regions, but other than that, you're on your own. If you're playing a game about war, destruction, monsters, then expect violence, torture, and cruelty. Use your brain.

Telling someone with anxiety to just "use your brain" is counterproductive.

Guys, there's no harm is asking for greater accessibility options and filters.

It could be a opt in option, so that those who don't want it never have to see it.

(emphasis mine)
Opt in?
Damn, then everyone can be happy.
That's a solid solution.

The Titania scene is WAY too tame to even be a jump-scare

[Luna-M]

This is a joke..right?

I don't see the problem with OP's request. As long as it's opt-in then it doesn't effect your gameplay at all if you don't use it.

Why complain about a QoL improvement for others if it doesn't effect you?

I'm all for QoL improvements, the problem here is that what OP is asking wouldn't even work.

A trigger to a panic or anxiety attack is not to be taken lightly, it is an emotional reaction to something traumatic that has happened in the past. Let me be clear here, a simple warning would do nothing to stop the trigger, this is a body response to what is happening in front of you.

So what can SE do?
If we are talking about an opt in, then SE could just remove the scenes altogether. However this causes a few problems
1. You lose immersion and context, you are likely to not know what is going on as the story is so interwoven.
2. Where would SE even start? You would need multiple opt ins for every situation, not everyone gets triggered by the same thing, everyone's anxiety/ panic attacks aren't the same. Even if SE did multiple opt ins its likely they will still get it wrong due to how impossible the task is.

It is a nice idea, however it is impossible to implement and it's not healthy to play something that triggers you.

Good pint, I honestly have no idea how they could implement it. It certainly wouldn't be perfect or easy I think. But if they could, it might be a good thing.

While it's unfortunate that you experienced distress during those moments and I'm sorry to hear as much, I think having a warning before those scenes would take the punch out of them.

Imagine finishing The Vault and then getting a notice that pops on the screen that says "Warning: A character you might like dies in the following scene!", in a cutscene where you would otherwise have no reason to believe such a thing would happen until the moment is already in progress.

If anything, just have a content warning on startup of the game that says the MSQ might have moments that are uncomfortable to some viewers or something. I don't think the game pushes the uncomfortable envelope too often, though, barring things like mention of sexual abuse, which does crop up in surprising places (Little Ladies Day anyone?).

I understand that people don't want to be spoiled by Haurchefant. But scenes like Tam Tara HM and Titania jumpscares are just unnecessary and don't fit the game thematically.
