Space bar was a mistake.

Spacebar is a wonderful addition, but really there should be a way to toggle the story in flashpoints off entirely.

OP, I think you're confused -- it's only 'story' the first time through. After that, it's just a rerun. If you want to watch the cutscenes every time, run an instance with your friggin' guild. 1 star.

Forums... Forums never change

Wrong. Play the game.

Flashpoints have redundant story.

Unless you are doing it the first time. You don't need to hear about it 20 times over.

Why the hell do you care if there is a space bar option. Its an option. You don't have to use it. Some of us don't want to sit and listen to the same daily quest dialogue everyday.

Why do people always insist on forcing people do things that they want? There is an option for a reason.

The second time you do a flashpoint you'll be hitting space bar.

Guaranteed.

you are crazy if you think not being able to skip dialogue would have been a good idea.

the forums would have been full of people having issues with Head North and kill quests that come with 5 minutes of unnecessary chatter..

personally I think more than a space bar was needed. I would had liked to a see a tick box in the settings that allows you to toggle side quests between voice and normal texts quests. Voice should only have been for the main class story.

Bioware then could have monitored how many players have skip side quest voice enabled. and used this to judge if the massive expense is worth it going forward.

maybe if they left voice just to the class stories they might have finished the MMO part of the game rather than the unrealised one dimensional mess we actually have.

I really enjoy the dialogue, but there are times when it's useful to be able to skip, especially when you've seen something before.

I also have subtitles on for all conversations and I'm a fast reader, so the spacebar does stop me having to wait around.

I do agree that a lot of people will ruin their experience by 'spacing' through most of the game, but that's up to them really. You can only advise them how to play to get the most enjoyment from the game.

Kind regards

What an incredibly short-sighted post. OP should have his posting privileges removed. If you're so absolutely incapable of having any shred of foresight, then your posting on these forums would just be a waste of time for the rest of us.

If I wanted to read, I'd buy a book.
