Quest dialog should be skippable

I am not interested in every storyline in this game and the fact that i cannot skip through certain dialogs is driving me to the point of not wanting to play. I hit a massive wall story wise in Fontaine and i just don’t care for the story but i have to smash buttons for 10 minutes to power through the dialog to try and speed it up. Ffs just let us skip what we are not wanting to read!

If it’s not here after 5 years then don’t expect it it any time soon , do what you feel whats best for you just consider it the price you pay for such a massive game being totally free to play

have you tried not doing quest you dont wanna read?

ILuvHuTaoAndNagatoro2026-01-13 22:49

It's my alt, i just want the primos to gamba, and i already read it on my main a week ago, what now?

Ikses2026-01-13 22:52

game was not intended to be played twice
sounds like you problem

ILuvHuTaoAndNagatoro2026-01-13 22:56

There's also no valid argument against them adding a skip button.

Ikses2026-01-13 23:09

you are correct
but im here not expecting them to add it and dont ask for it, it will never happen
if this game was intended to have skip button, we would had it 4 years ago, give up

ILuvHuTaoAndNagatoro2026-01-13 23:41

Oh don't get me wrong i ain't exactly holding my breath for it, if it hasn't happened by now it probably never will.

But you never know...

Personally my big wish is for them to make events permanent and start adding old events like GAA and last year's Lantern Rite to some kind of archive where you can play them as permanent content.

Don’t hurt yourself trying to use big words.

The time it took you to write this post, could have been used to finish the quest

TheBBandit2026-01-13 22:20

No actually, i could not have. Which is the point.

La-Roca992026-01-13 22:52

1:30 hours later and still here, you definitely could have

TheBBandit2026-01-13 23:29

(Yawn) sorry what did you say? wasn’t listening to your bs.

La-Roca992026-01-13 23:31

36 minutes to yawn, still could be doing the quest

TheBBandit2026-01-13 23:57

2 hours of your life wasted being a troll

La-Roca992026-01-14 00:08

Its a full time job actually, and you still fell for it

So nothing really wasted

You on the other hand wasted time coming to reddit to complain about story on an story game

TheBBandit2026-01-14 00:14

Lol i didn’t waste anything my guy, don’t get emotional now trolls are supposed to be detached and emotionless

So don't play, problem solved.

Sometimes the simplest of problems have the simplest of solutions. I got tired of HSR's story, so I stopped playing and admittedly, Genshin is walking the same tightrope and is about to fall off I feel. You just have to let go, move on, find the pleasure somewhere else.

The storytelling kills the experience for a lot of people, that's why these threads are common. [The animated Rerir fight scene in 6.1](https://youtu.be/YKYVST59-Bg) was well done and engaging then the minute it switched to picking dialogue options that don't affect anything it ironically felt less engaging even though engagement was forced. It even shows in the video's Youtube video analytics. Yap yap isn't interesting to most.

Genshin has an amazing story being covered up by gacha player engagement/retention methods. I'm fully aware animation like the fight is time consuming, expensive and not possible for quests that are hours long but even still pictures that AutoPlay for real would be better than clicking meaningless options. Or just Auto Play without any need to hit a button every 30 seconds.

TheBBandit2026-01-13 22:22

See i agree i think there is a really good story for the most part, but some are just dreadful. I doubt they will change it but man I wish they would fir QoL

We all know this

You are 4 years too late to the conversation.

Everyone has said everything they can think of saying and both sides realized that only the people wanting a skip button added have a valid argument.

ILuvHuTaoAndNagatoro2026-01-13 22:47

They should, i do read the story, but there are times where a skip button would be fantastic. Like i was doing Durin's story quest the other day and got to the part where>! he decides to use the abyss power to interact with the phantoms!<, and my internet disconnected in the middle of the dialogue, so i had to restart that entire section from where >!he meets up with Scara!<. It was literally on the last line of dialogue in that chain too...

I also had to exit and restart the domain in the archon quest and had to go through all of that dialogue again, and worse, when i was landing after the last moonrail thing i got stuck with Arlecchino spinning in her plunging attack and had to do like twenty minutes of dialogue *again*.
