So much dialogue.

[Moose]

It just feels never ending. I want to get into this game, but my god these 15-20 minutes of dialogue are just exhausting. it literally makes me quit playing. do people enjoy this? it's so boring to me. I want to play a game not talk to people.

It was less annoying in previous Bethesda games when the NPCs were at least likeable.

Dialogues are part of something called "story" and it's usually the "story" that drives a game forward, that gives the player a reason for doing what the player does.

What are you, 10?

Maybe you should not play an RPG if you don't want story.. Its hilarious that people buy Bethesda games and think there just action games.

too true

... it's an RPG. Not just an FPS. Dialog is simply part of the genre.

stop complaining about this master piece of a game bethseda are the greatest game devs of our generation!

Good dialogue will engage and bring its story to life.
Bad dialogue will do the opposite.

I'm sorry, but maybe RPGs aren't for you.

Dialogue is kind of part of the main appeal to these games. Actually, some people don't like Starfield because it has LESS dialogue than previous Bethesda games. Yes, you read that right.

Edit: I can see from your reviews that you've played stuff like Baldurs Gate 3, Mass Effect and Divinity. You can handle Starfield. Those games all have WAY more dialogue.

Dialogue and convos are my favorite part of rpgs. If I didn’t want to hear people talk, I’d be playing Tetris.

I never finished any of those games. I think you're right, I have reached an age where these games just aren't for me any more. I loved the Witcher 3, but everything since has become boring. Even games that I'm excited for like kingdom come 2 I should probably avoid because I wasn't able to get into the first one. Back to wow + slay the spire while waiting for poe 2 I guess. Thanks for the replies and keeping it civil.

Hey that's fair! If you're into online games, Fallout 76 is still an RPG, but it has significantly less dialogue. If you want the Bethesda formula in an online setting, which is honestly more focused on action. I'd definitely recommend that.

they added all that boring dialogue so you go over the 2 hour refund window.

This should be marked as the correct answer to this thread

I realized I often have the same problem, mostly on side quests because I just dont kmow why I should care about random NPC problem. Especially when its fully voiced and so loooooong.

Give me wall of text any day.
