Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs Discussion Topic Part 1

I would definitely like for scripted monster encounters to be de-emphasized.

Hehe, I'm the complete opposite. Scripted monster encounters are swell, just make them less predictable.

Kotch: I believe you can already play Amnesia without the blurry effects - you can turn them off in the settings.

I also like the monster music because it's very ambient and sets the mood, but it does lead to the kind of playstyle that Dogfood described. I think the best solution would be to link monster music to perceived monster proximity: if the monster is close enough that the player can hear it or see it, start ambient music.

People always said 'just turn off the effects'. How does one actually do that? I've seen that comment loads and I went sifting through ATDD's settings and I never saw an option to do that :/
