Unnecessary audio speech in games

[SvennoJ]

I hate voice actors that talk slow and no way to click through. If the option is there I put on subtitles and read ahead and click on. They don't really need to record more than the first few words of every sentence...

That's one issue I have with Skyrim VR, no subtitles, very wordy npcs, I just click through it and decipher what it's about from the responses I get to choose from or the quest synopsis afterwards. Maybe once you can actually talk back and have a real conversation it might be immersive. At the start it was still cool to watch the person talking in VR, yet after 120 hours play time, just get to the point already!

Okami got really annoying with the fake talk. (plus the person who thought up slow appearing text should be shot. I'm not in grade 2 anymore) Sims was alright though, picture balloon conversations are much more efficient. Dune 2 used to drive my parents crazy. Micro management RTS, every unit you click on "reporting" "yes sir" etc. constantly.
