I'll never read Quest Text again

Sometimes a new game ruins other games for you with some small innovation. I remember playing Mass Effect for a while during a sabbatical from WoW. When I came back to WoW, the most annoying part was how boring the process of Questing becomes when you just are supposed to read some Quest Text and click "Accept" for every quest. Like most people, I just started skipping the Text. It isn't that I don't like to read, I love to read books, but somehow being in a virtual game with my Avatar it feels quite wrong to have to stop and read a bunch of story text. But I managed to get over it and play WoW, and other MMOs each time I took a sabbatical for a Bioware RPG.

 

But now, I'm done. SWTOR is here now, and once you play an MMO without Quest Text, at least for me, I'm never going back. I'll either play SWTOR, or MMOs will start using this innovation as a standard thing. I want to hear my Quest givers, and I want a chance to explore a conversation before I accept anything, or sometimes just shoot the guy instead...

Your like those people who prefer movies over books!
