Is there a way to speed up NPC Dialogue for Quests?

Nightwiish · February 5

As the title suggests, is there an addon or any other way to speed up NPC dialogue from 1.0 to 1.25/1.5/2.0 etc.?

I like to immerse myself in the quests as much as I can every once in a while but most of the quest dialogue is painfully slow...

There is via an addon called SlowDialogs. You can slow down or speed up the dialogue so you can zip past dialogue if you've done the quest a million times on multiple alts (IE dailies).

I don't mind how slow everyone talks when they're talking to me with a dialogue box; if I'm in a hurry or run out of patience for their looong.... slooow.... speeeeeches..., I can click through.

What I despise is being forced to listen to two or more NPCs slooooooooooooowly talk to each other. It's especially bad when I'm not allowed to walk away and let them talk while I do something interesting.

There's a quest in Greenshade where you have to listen to a bunch of ghosts yammer on to each other four separate times, and if you even take two steps off the path to pick a flower, they start over from the beginning. And you can't advance to the next Council of Ghost Sloths until you stand there and let them finish the whole thing.

"Council of Ghost Sloths"

Thank you for the laugh!

There's a fair amount of the William Shatner school of acting going on for the most basic and uninteresting of lines...

You need to... Walk... That way... And... Pick up... The woowoo object... And speak to... Her... Before it's... Too late.

Starting the final story quest in Greenshade with 20 minutes left on a 2x XP scroll was harrowing. The quest itself would take five minutes if you didn't have to go through all the extra non-click-throughable dialogue. The three or four fake endings before you get the skill point are extra frustrating when you're watching your scroll timer tick down under thirty seconds.

I have usually read the text by the time the NPC's are halfway through delivering their lines, if it's the first time doing the quest I will listen to the end if not, I click through as much of the dialogue as I can. Often resulting in me screwing up and taking up the NPC's on their offer to go with you to a destination, instead of meeting at the location causing me to have to slowly travel with them slowing quite a few of the older base game quests to a crawl.
