Swissbob Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I've always payed close attention to both my class and side quest dialogues... and I assumed that almost everyone did. But after reading a few pots by a few people here saying that they just slammed the space bar during evey line, I've gotten pretty curious. How many people actually pay attention to what NPC's say?

LilSaihah Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I don't slam it, personally. My keyboard's getting a little old and crotchety, and it sticks if I do that. I delicately tap it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andymantium Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 If it's a quest I haven't done before, I'll listen to the entire dialogue. If it's something I've done before, I'll spacebar through most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunny_Bun Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 With my first toon to 50 I didn't even realise you could spacebar I have to say - it is much more fun if you don't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drakkip Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Depends on the quests tbh. The dailies on Belsavis/Ilum/Corelia I spacebar through. Since most of my guild and our sister raiding guild quit I have been playing alts up. Quests that I have just completed on another character I skim through (I have text turned on for all quetsts) So I just skim through the text. For example I have just brought 3 characters up through pub side Coruscant, the Gree quests I skim read the text and "spacebar" through it. Flashpoints I do the same, after the 5th or 6th time doing the quest there's nothing new to see really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katahn Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 If I've done the quest before, multiple times, then yeah I'll hit the spacebar. Generally though if I am in a group I don't because I'd rather watch the same scene again and again then to sit there staring a still frame with "Waiting on Other Players" in the middle of it.

Acherom Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Currently on my 4th leveling character. I spacebar nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calsetes Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I spacebar past alien dialogue after I read it, or when there's a loooong pause between lines, or if it's a subquest I've done before and only hear my character's responses to the choices I make, or if I'm doing a conversation over to pick a different option (since I milk my companion's affections like that.)

Silvirwolfe Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 If it's the first time I have done the quest- I will listen to the dialog. But after that, 2-3 alts into it, I will only listen to the class/companion quests. Kimmah Blazenfist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But after reading a few pots by a few people here saying that they just slammed the space bar during evey line, I've gotten pretty curious. How many people actually pay attention to what NPC's say? I tap it sometimes when I've escaped out but only to get back to the part of the conversation where my response wasn't the one I thought it would be. Male, female, class, dark, light all have somewhat different attitudes, responses and comments on the quests which is what makes it fun, I've had tons of chuckles, a whole lot of laughter, sometimes I've even had to stop and think for a bit about what my choices are and what possible ramifications they can have (no, it doesn't matter if they matter in the end as long as they matter on the journey).

Biggrich Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 (edited) People who spacebar generally cry about a lack of content. So in your world; content = dialogue? Don't get me wrong, some of the dialogue is good but there is a lot of redundant crap. Especially in a game that promotes leveling alts (ie. Legacy) and requires you to do 90% of the same exact quests over and over. Edited April 26, 2012 by Biggrich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieAlteHexe Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Newp. I enjoy the VO content. I'm in no hurry and I think it adds to the game nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been pleasantly surprised by how dialogs can change depending upon class and alignment. Didn't really expect that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bingbangboom Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I listened to about level 10 and have spacebarred everything since. Personally, the VO is very boring to me and have no interest in the story at all. Spacebar through everything on alts as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many people actually pay attention to what NPC's say? only if i've done quest a dozen times over, and know dialogue by heart... but first few times? no way and i still do dialogue to flash points generally.

Biggrich Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Well, not everyone "lives" in the same "world". Agreed. I currently have 2 level 50 Reps, and at least 8 Rep alts along with 3-4 Imp alts with a mixture of light and dark, so I've done a lot of the same quests a number of different times. I listen to all the class quests the first time though, and most of the side quests. But I'll be darned if I'm going to listen to them all a 2nd or 3rd time. Don't even get me started on the daily quests. Once you have a certain legacy level and/or a level 50 character, there should be an option to disable dialogue and just get the quests. At least for quests you've already completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellin Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Yes. After hitting lvl 50, I tried doing some alts. I no longer listen to the dialogue unless it is a class story. Space Bar FTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qoojo Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 (edited) Call me funny names, but I don't care about the cliche back story on why I have to kill something n times, or fetch item x. I listen to the main class line, but that's about it. It's especially pointless when you must pick the correct alignment choice for force users due to equipment having alignmnet reqs on them still. I basically pick the option that maximizes the points for my companion and gives me the correct alignment points. So yes, I spacebar while reading fast. Unless it's one I am quite familiar with, then I just spacebar fast. Edited April 26, 2012 by Qoojo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CecilTellyn Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I only space bar if it's a daily I've seen a lot before (I space barred a lot of the Rakghoul stuff after listening to it a few times) or if it's alien dialog. I understand why they added alien languages in there but at the same time, there's one set of lines for Huttese, one set for Rodian, etc. So even if they are completely made up languages, after the 10th time of hearing the same dialog lines, I have it memorized. So it's just really annoying and if the alien speaks gibberish, I just space bar through it after I read the text. Otherwise, no, I listen to ALL dialog. That's the whole point of the game, for me.

kevlarto Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 only on the daily's I have seen them enough, and playing different classes and different group make up sometime the dialogue is a bit different. So over all no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
