The first time I saw the dice animation I was delighted, as it really caught the tabletop vibe. But by the 9000th time I just want the result. I'm giving myself carpal tunnel with all the clicking and the keystrokes to fast forward through that process for every. single. skill check.

Can we PLEASE have an interface preference to turn off those dice animations completely? Just go straight to the result and the various options to spend an inspiration or a lockpick or simply continue. And if - IF - there's just a single continue button after the roll, a spacebar shortcut for that would be great.

Thanks.

Don't know about a special option for this, but IMO, it would be a good QoL improvement if the game just auto-skips the "applying modifiers" part of the animation in the cases when modifiers don't matter:
1) If the character has no positive or negative modifiers to the roll at all (currently, it's a weird 1-2 second pause of nothing happening);
2) If there are no negative modifiers and the roll is a success straight away, even before applying any positive modifiers;
3) On rolling 1 or 20 (TBH, I don't remember if the game still waits for 1-2 second on critical success or failure now, like in the "no modifiers" case).

Yeah I agree a setting where it always automatically applies guidance and other free buffs and then throws out a number at you quickly would be nice.

If you click on the dice as it's rolling, the complete animation is skipped.

There's a mod for that, but the problem with is that it works by making buffs last an hour or until long rest.

Would be nice if they added a dice rolling animation speed setting, allowing players to adjust gradually between "very slow" (i.e. how it is now) and "instant". Personally I'd like a quick roll followed by all modifiers being added at the same time, but having it configurable would ofc. make it easy to please most people.
