Question 1:
Can we select the quest text to copy it to post in a text to speech program... Ya some of us are disabled. It would be nice to have an in-game text to speech (TTS) option like many of the Ubisoft games uses windows TTS API. You could also add a speech to text (STT) The same as some Microsoft games and Ubisoft have in their game windows has an API for it too.
Question 2:
Will there be any accessibility options for people with disabilities?
I think this would be important to have especially seeing as there's a lot of texting in this game. Also, the text is important for directions and would be good for the disabled people to be able to enjoy the hard work you put in the quest story. The STT would be good for people with disabilities so they can easily communicate with other players.
