Can you skip the dialogue?

[RubberduckzillA RIP Alwyn]

I love the look of the gameplay but I hate the writing with a passion. Can you skip the dialogue?

[BortekThePigeon]

Yes just press esc during dialogue (works only in cutscenes I think)

[Zebedee]

You can hit escape and skip through the voiced lines, yeah. (Also fully skip cutscenes.) You will have to select an option for a reply if you're in a conversation.

You can skip the dialogue and cut scenes thats what iv been doing in NG+ since iv already been through it all on first playthrough.

Awesome I can get the top tier edition for £53 atm, so I am extremely tempted if you can skip the dialogue. How long did a playthrough take you skipping it all?

out of a 100ish hour playthrough. my guess would be 15-20 hours is the roaming around the abbey for chests, secrets, trials...
40 hours is combat
40 hours is the cut scenes, dialogue and friendship stuff.

on ym 2nd playthrough i'm cutting the last bit out as well by skipping it and honestly. i dont feel i'm missing anything. the flow and pace of the game actually feels better as a result.

The writing is fantastic. You're missing out. But yes you can skip, right click to skip lines and hold right click to skip cutscenes.

I'm sorry i will have to disagree there, it's proper fanfic territory. Blade too shy to ask captain marvel out, book clubs as an excuse to be with her and call the college hijinks yea... Not my cup of tea at all

The game is rated 12+, so this is what they could do within those limitations.

Yea which means by default they had to betray a ton of chars

[Peerless Girl]

They actually did some amazing writing, Tony especially is written very well, but honestly, most characters are, within the realms of what they were allowed to do.

The main story is pretty decent. However the friendship interactions and hangouts are indeed very bad fanfic with a high degree of highschool teen drama. I just can't take any of them serious as a friend. so I would advice to at least skip those dialogues. you won't be missing out on anything important.

The frienship side of the game is indeed fantasy fullfillment where you the player with your character gets to make friends with all of these Marvel superheroes, and there's no way to write that inside the confines of a single game without heavy suspension of disbelief. Avengers didn't instantly become friends within their first story either, relationships take time to develop.

Hence the whole thing is gamified and turned into a system where you earn points to gain bonuses and perks for high enough friendship levels. These are fairly significant and can mean the difference between loss and victory on higher difficulties, depending on player skill of course.

If the dialogue feels too cringe and you only care for the points, it can indeed be just skipped with right mouse clicks.

[Peerless Girl]

to be fair, it does take time to do that. And your protagonist is central to this specific comic story (which is why it's set up the way it is).

[Yes]

Want to pop in a play a quick 30 minute combat session on lunch break? Too bad, time to paint a fence with you pal Ghost Rider! You want to skip the abby stuff? Oh to bad you'll miss new abilities and cards. Oh you're late for mimosas bird watching with Carnage! Feels like a half baked Marvel Animal Crossing/Highschool dating sim, duct taped on at the last minute. Would've been better as two separate games imo. Eagerly awaiting the day a fan mod just gives me a menu between missions.
