Voice commands are in the game actually, I saw things in the code pointing in that direction. I'm really willing to forgive and forget everything bad about this game if the devs answer me just one thing:
Is Ubisoft going to allow them to patch the game with all these missing features? Ship surrendering, wolfpacks, voice commands, centralized interface with voice pipes... the next thing would be to find out a spherical mesh of the world and a sextant buried in that code
