I agree with this. listening to all of the alien conversation was neat at first.. but now just annoying

I never skip new content

Depends purely on how much time I have. The experience is more complete with the dialogues and voice acting, and knowing the background story for the quests you're doing, but before I finished my final exams the other day, I had to skip a lot of them just because they took a lot of time and I wouldn't have advanced in the game in the limited time I had. Now I watch all of them and never get bored. People who slam space bar through them are playing the wrong game.

slam, no. Use, yes.

after doing each class story once, that was enough, after doing each planet quest once, that was enough, after doing it all in beta for a year and a half, that was enough.

After 336 character levels in live so far, my spacebar and I are quite well acquainted during cutscenes.

The "story" based system where no matter what choices you make all roads lead to rome means that once youve seen a storyline once, youve seen all it has to offer. I just use esc to see each of the three conversation options the first time i run through any mission, then from that point on I skip it 7 times with alts.

That being said, it was great the first time through. But I am not interested in spending extra time watching through them 8 times.

The fourth pillar of MMOs to Bioware is the spacebar.

I do use spacebar on......
Robot/alien talk. I read faster than I listen.
FlashPoint AFTER I ran it a couple of time. Some of them I still listen to it cause it is fun like Boarding Party and the captain scene never gets old.

I would never hit my Space Bar during all of the dialogues because different Classes sometimes have different responses for certain quests, only sometimes, not all the time, but to be on the safe side, I wouldn't skip a single thing.

Only on sidequests, never on class missions.

Sometimes I listen to sidequests, when they seem to have an interesting storiy, but since it's mostly some incompetent guy begging for help, asking me to kill X on location Y and click Z, I "slam the spacebar".
Honestly, BW should stop with voiceacted side missions, it's wasted money which should be given to space combat programmers and engine optimization tech gurus.

What the...

Why would I pay $14.99 a month to bypass the best parts of the game? I adore the story lines, the voice talent, the writing, the immersion in the world... pressing space skips all that.

There is no reason to rush to 50, I will take my sweet time and I will live the story.

This, if it's a daily or something I already know the story, if it's new, I'll sit back and listen to the entire thing.
