Onscreen text notification...

Well, i have not played for that long, but one thing that is annoying as hell is the onscreen notification.
I take a quest (im the type that dont give a fart about reading, 1.1.1.1.1. kind of guy), so at the end i get 1-2 sec notification on the quest objective on screen, and that text no where reflect the name of the quest it self, its like the onscreen text can be like "Go kill jabba the butt" and then you look in the quest log and there is nothing about that, i then have to look in every quest i got to find out where that quest is, and its not even always in the same zone as i got it, and its even not like ah i can just look at what the onscreen test was in the chat, nope there are NO WAY to see what the message was on the screen, really p.sses me off a lot.

So if i miss some thing on the screen, or remembered it wrong, i have now no way to figure out what the heck that quest was, why not just put the sh.t in the chat also, so you can still go and read it after, but no no, you get 1 sec better be a fast reader (which im not, english is not my language), and if you dont get it, well bad luck..

Really not new user friendly, or even friendly at all.

    So.. you say that you just skip through all of the dialogue, and then you’re surprised that you don’t know what you’re supposed to be doing?

    ^This.^

    If you can't be bothered to read the quest, it's time to play some other type of content that's not quests.

    Some quests have important (red) choices ... while other quests require reading the quest dialogue or books to solve puzzles.

    Well thats what quest log is for, but when you have no *** clue what the quest is you just got, because the onscreen notification is *** up, and dont tell you anything, and the designer of the game dont put *** in the chat, like the vital information of what POPS UP ON THE SCREEN...

    Other games have not this issue, like WoW, every thing that comes on the screen, you also gets in the chat, ESO every thing that comes on the screen, well designer dont give a *** about..

    Ever heard of USER FRIENDLY, yeah i know most people dont know about that,

    As i mentioned, i dont read fast, im not a teen like you @Stovahkiin im an old man, at the time i went to school English was not some thing that was on the menu, there was no computer, there was for sure no internet, and then why teach some thing that no one ever thought would be needed ?

    Its like in 30 years from now, every thing is in Chinees, and then the teen then get Chinees thought in school, but at that time your an old fart, and the new teen then thing, well why the hell cant he not just read chinees like every one else, and you are then like me, well we did not see the need for it then, and you will then have to learn it by your self like i did.

    So no i dont want to sit and read every damn text that is in the game, if i want ot read i take a book, and i dont take a book because i freaking dont like reading, what i do like is playing games.

    And as mentioned, if they would put *** in the chat, it would not be a problem, i could then just read the quest name, or objective in the chat, and then look in the quest log, but since you get NOTHING, other then 1-2 sec on screen text, i have no damn clue what i the quest is about.

    And dont give me that BS teen *** you are on about.

    Don't like reading? Don't do the quests then.

    Many players will do the quests once or not at all ... and then focus on other content.

    Wow. Not only do you assume that I’m a know nothing kid, you manage to go on a rant and act like I just insulted your entire family lineage or something. If you want help or advice, raging at people isn’t going to get you anywhere.
