Slow text appearance

Post by jdh41 »

Text appearing bit by bit in tutorials etc. is very very annoying - have it appear at least as fast as my reading speed, or even better - just have it all be there as soon as the dialogue opens!

If you click while it is scrolling it will show all the text at once.

Yeah, this did annoy me, but from experience with other games in the past, clicking on it either cancelled it, skipped it entirely or speeded it up.

Thanks Lithari, we were wondering why people wouldn't click since it is pretty standard in many games. Players being 'afraid' of completely skipping would explain that.

Its like on swtor (Star Wars the Old Republic) and very enjoyable game, which has heavy voice conversations and a lot of players skip it after the first watch, not sure why, it makes it feel more real to me and immersing, but in the case of non-RPGs, the text isn't all that important, I personally just press the button to make it instant, though an option for it to be instant wouldn't hurt, but its not vital.
