Do you slam the spacebar during dialogue?

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

I skip all dialogues I've seen before (all repeatable quests)

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.

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.

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
Do not dwell in the past, do not not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

Expectations lead to suffering

I never slam but I almost always tap... once I've finished reading the subtitles. Call me shallow but the only VA's I listen to are the female ones with attractive voices. Otherwise I have better things to do than listen to overpaid actors recite lines.

^This for the most part.

If I am leveling up an alt that I have seen all the story Imma spammin that space bar faster than the flash on a million moutain dews. I usually remember the story and what to do.

But tbh, listening to all the freaking dialogue actually phyiscally tires me after a while. Not all of it is engaging. It is kinda like sitting at work or school all day watching the clock cause you would rather be anywhere else kinda tired. Most of the time I am thinking quit your freaking yammering and whining and just tell me what you want me to do for you already. I KNOW you are going to tell me to kill x of y mobs just point me at who you want me to kill OR you are going to tell me to go meet someone or take something to someone .. ok I get it just point the direction and give me the package and shut the heck up already. Oh and CASH up front would be preffered. I am a proffesional and will fullfill my obligations.

I have the texted turned on AND I can read faster than it can be acted out. I will always tab thru a quest I have done before UNLESS it was something I really enjoyed OR until I have the dialogue memorized which ever comes first.

I ALWAYS tab thru the ANNOYING alien language crap. I just read the text. I HATE the alien language cut sceenes. Every time I see a non-human quest giver I start to twinge with frustration. Waste of time. This was ESSPECAILLY annoying on HOTH for my Chiss IA. The first couple of Chiss you interact with are speaking basic. OK cool they are allies of the empire, makes sense. THEN as you progress thru the planet and class quests the Chiss start speaking Huttese .. W T H ? Since WHEN do the Chiss have anything to do with the Hutts? Especially to adobt their language over just using their own INSTEAD of speaking in basic. Yeah STELLER reasoning and writing there BW.

The only time I skip through dialogue is if I've been through it many times before. Some good examples of this would be dialogue for daily missions or Flashpoints.

Everything else I listen to.

It really annoys me when I group up with people who try to rush me through conversations that I've never been in before.
