Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity Original Sin - Beta How to slow down pop up text?

Hi guys.

I was just wondering if anyone knew if there was a way to slow down the pop up text, of your characters comments (the white pop up). Often i'm engaged in viewing the surroundings and being distracted by little shells ready to be gloriously hoarded, and so I then just catch a small snippet of what is said.

By the time I see it, I have to go read on the right hand side in the square, what was said, which breaks immersion a little bit. Is there any way to get the characters comments to display longer? Its great to read!

Thank you!

I agree, and this concern has been brought up numerous times on the forums. The text that appears above PC/NPCs really needs to stay around longer and cycle more slowly.

As far as I understood these pop ups are going to be replaced by voiced banter. That should eliminate the problem.

Maybe for some.

1. Some people cannot hear, so having voiceovers does nothing for them.
2. Some people cannot understand, because their language skill is not high enough. I would've had no idea what everyone in Dragon Commander was blabbering on about, because of the very convoluted language used. I also often can't understand spoken English, even if it's just everyday language. But I do understand written fine enough.
3. The volume might be too low to understand. When everyone's sleeping and I want to play, I cannot have the volume high enough for me to clearly understand what the game is talking about.
4. And maybe others...
