Valve✭✭✭✭Other......because 'other' is obligatoryLet's face it, ZoS aren't going to create a little more dialogue (would need voicing) and program an option to skip it.
Yeah it sucks but it's not like you're doing it on the same character over and over so it's not too bad.Dro-m'Athra Destroyerx4

✭Other......because 'other' is obligatoryI don't want to skip the history lesson. I want to skip the entire quest. Just throw me the skill points and let's call it a day.
This is the most tedious quest line in the entire game.
It's so boring, even ZoS has allowed new players to forgo it just to get into the game.
If a player has completed the MQ once, alts should be given the skill points by selecting "Skip Tutorial and Main Quest?" (3 second timer).

Bit difficult when the entire scene/segment doesn't play out in one continuous part. You need to interact with him a handful of times, so it's not as if you can just leave it until it's done.0 -

"Yes" it is, then.
They should really impliment some of this so that we dont have to repeat things. Maybe make it as such, so that people who want to do thibgs from scratch again, can. And those who don't, don't have to. I have various characters cause I think I personally learn more about the game and how it works with different builds. But for the second time around I prefer not to do the Harbourage or Cadwell's quests ever again. Even some others like the psijic quest. I'm not going to do that again either.
So an option to start from scratch or continue with what's been done in character creation would be really helpful.
I get why they won't implement it on a marketing prospective though.

ADarklore✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭Yes......because I know it by heart or I am just agreeableHonestly, there should be an option to skip ALL drawn-out dialogue scenes that we have no interaction with. Especially during all of Mannimarco's long diatribes. Every time I've done the Main Quests, there are so many long, drawn out babble sessions that we have to sit through, but Mannimarco's is the worst. Sancre Tor, you have to sit through all of his 'projection' babblings, it drives me nuts that we don't have a 'skip' option... just cut to the chase already!!Edited by ADarklore on July 25, 2018 12:33PMCP: 2128 ** ESO+ ** ~~ ***** Strictly a solo PvE quester *****

Nestor✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭No......because I like seeing/reading the same stuff over and overWhen this game first released, it was worse. If you walked ahead of the Prophet, he would stop and stop talking. So you had to do the slow walk with him. At least now you can run ahead and wait for him to shuffle along.
Must be all the Cut Scenes I endured playing Final Fantasy that makes me ambivelent about this. Anyone remember FF10, it took about 90 minutes to get that game started.Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

Yep... usually what I do is pop open the skills window and begin planning the next point placement, what I still need to level, etc. Or, just use it as time for a bathroom break.
