Revealing dialog text, not a fan

The new dialog portraits are awesome, but I don’t really like the revealing text. It’s a bit too slow for me, which isn’t that big of a deal on its own, but you can’t click to instantly reveal the whole thing. Instead it immediately goes to the next line of dialog. It makes the difference between still getting the gist of the story when clicking through the dialog and not knowing what’s going on at all. A suggestion would be toggleable revealing dialog or making clicking to the next dialog line first finish the reveal of the current line if it hasn’t finished yet, and the next click take you to the next line.

Yup I agree. I do believe this is on their radar from a prior post.

Need to concur. I’m very interested in reading dialogue especially on my first few playthroughs, but the speed at which the text rolls and populates the box makes this impossible for me. To add some context, I have pretty bad ADHD, and my reading speed is very fast. Because the text rolls at a speed that is severely slower than my reading speed, it becomes impossible for me to maintain focus because every time I move to the next part of the dialogue, there’s a time-gap in which I can do nothing and thus, I can’t maintain focus.

People in my situation might be edge-cases where it turns from an inconvenience to something more impactful, but it truly does matter in my case. Because the flow is interrupted constantly, I’ll forget the first few sections of the dialogue by the time I’ve reached the end of it, because I can’t digest it in one continuous flow.

The UI itself is great. Nothing but praise there. All someone in my situation needs is a method to bypass the roll. Either by making it significantly faster, or by instantly populating the box if I click on it while it’s rolling like how it is in a lot of other games.

It’s obviously not the biggest priority in the world, I’m not suggesting it should be fixed immediately or anything. I’m mainly writing this just to reinforce why it is something I feel needs to be addressed at some point. For now, I’ll just skip trying to engage with it and focus on gameplay.

Totally agree, please allow us to adjust the revealing text speed. Also a bit of feedback, first click on the revealing text should reveal the rest, not progress the dialogue.

Love the dialogue box and especially the new portraits overall though!
