or even worse when you have to wait for the voiced dialogue to finish before it lets you continue.
I like that BG3 let's you skip the voice dialogue but I wish there was an option to speed up the voice acting because I really love the voice acting and the story is great but I find myself spacing out during long cutscenes. I don't want to skip them I just want them to speak quickly!
I've been replaying Dragon Quest Builders 2. The game isn't voiced, most of dialogues are classic RPG text boxes that you can speed up and skip, BUT. There are special lines of dialogue that are "voices" in a character's head.
They are unskippable, and they're like a dozen words each that stay on screen for about 20 seconds or more. Some of those dialogues have about 6-7 of those. It's unbearable, and it's genuinely the worst part of starting a game again. Hell, it was the worst part of doing it the first time, too.
Somehow English localisation created this, in Japanese the messages go a lot faster. Though even those couldn't be skipped, because... fuck you that's why.
