The Conversation speed

[TheAuthor]

Whilst I enjoy reading the speeches/backgrounds of the characters, I do not enjoy the speed at which they say it; I understand that 'it's rp!!' But also in real life you have people that say 'Yeah yeah, get to the point'

So: A button you can press to skip the chatter, with possible (funny, insulted, angry, confused or even undisturbed) side-effects to the conversation.


And while we're on the subject of realism, if the letters in the speech bubble could appear in a serialized, typewriter fashion (with possible speed slider in options) then my wish would be more than fulfilled.

This would be awesome. I'm a fast reader, and most of my interaction with NPCs is 1/4 reading and 3/4 waiting for them to get ON with it, already. The speed slider would be ideal.

I think the pace is always going to be too slow or two fast for most folks. I would agree with just printing the chat bubble and implementing a [more] button so the user can control the pace.

Has anyone made a feature request of this so that it can be voted on?

Now there is: PS#6648

To get this topic more specific: Is it related to speech bubbles of NPCs only, or of characters of human players too? ... Some may just be slow typers, or distracted by real life issues, and especially newcomers might take it insulting if people express their impatience.

I closed that as the feature has already been requested.

I closed that as the feature has already been requested.

... and it's being implemented and probably available at the next client update. Of course only the possibility to skip the NPCs dialogues.
