Is this game for someone who usually dont play "serious" rp games?
I tried playing divinity original sin 2 but stopped because it was way to much text for me.
Same when trying out the tales of the sky series - felt simply to be to much reading than playing.
Fine with normal rpgs like skyrim, gothic, etc.

Im just intrigued because of the positive reviews.

i am not a old timer rpg player but i have an opinion. it's about presentation. in the end, we encounter tons of dialogues but it's not boring. when our character feels something (fear, joy) narrator mentions it, we can overcome most of the game just by diplomacy but we don't feel like we just read a book instead of playing a game because game makes us feel like our character. i think this is a success. i always wanted to learn and play old school rpg games and most of those old timers says that this game is the closest one to old schoold rpg games.
what makes skyrim different from this game is you can't kill delphine. i've been playing skyrim since release but it's not half of this game i tell you.

There isn't much to read, unless you read the books etc, and they are usually really short. Most of the reading games of this kind have has been replaced by cutscenes.

More or less.

More, because you have the advantage of voice over.

Less, because you have to actually read to understand the game mechanics.

So so, if you ignore the voice over or do not keep track of what is being said, you will not get anywhere to begin with.

There are VA (very little mandatory text), some quest markers, and the Explorer/easy difficulty. Also, the cut-scenes do not start if you fireball the NPC first.

Though, the combat is still turn-based and some familiarity with the systems is recommended. Additionally, there are few quests that do require basic investigation and puzzle-solving. Or just brute-forcing the solutions.

This game is as serious as it gets.
