guys ! again i don't want to sound dismissive... but i'd say we're thinking about this almost too much
i mean, it all come down to a simple mod (probably changing a few lines of one file) and all that mod has to do is make the game forget about "automatically" playing the next part of the dialog... that's it, it's easy, but the only problem is i don't know how to "do" it
so it's not really about wishing that devs would start including this option in their games, but rather finding a modder who knows what part to change
and sorry if i'm a little rash, it's just taking too much time for somehing so simple... but then again, of all the forums i've started this thread on this is the only one that has a "second" post so thanx guys, but keep it to-the-point please
