How to turn off cutscene subtitles for hearing-impaired?

Community General Discussion
1

I find it quite immersion-disturbing to have actions of characters and sound effects described in text, and actually the whole caption in general.
But where to turn that off??

No need to have a Total Meltdown about it, relax, chew some bubblegum.

It’s in Options > Accessibility > General > Cinematic Subtitles.

EDIT: It’s bugged.

I have already turned those off.
At least a cutscene in the new mission zone still had them.

On a similar note, where can we access Audio Description versions of the cinematics?

I usually just watch a Taliesin review of cinematics to find out the stuff I missed…

Mine is turned off and I get them too.

Bug report time!

Time to let Blizz know something isn’t working right.

I have it disabled and it still shows up in ingame cutscenes.

I wish they had two options. One with audio descriptions and one that just showed subtitles. English is not my first language, sometimes there are lots of noises and sometimes the voices are just too deep and garbled to make out anything (I’m looking at you Jailer!), so I keep cinematic subtitles on.

Yeah, it’s still more immersive with only spoken words transcribed. The audio descriptions are really cringy.

I see the bugfixing is already making progress.

Sometimes less character improves things.
