Auto-advance

hello. i think it would be really great to see an option that would allow dialogue with voice acting to automatically proceed.

I've often wished for this. I turn off the HUD while watching voice-acted scenes, but then have to keep re-enabling it each time I need to advance the dialog. The constant interruptions of watch a little bit - enable HUD / advance / disable HUD - watch a little bit - enable HUD / advance / disable HUD - watch a little bit are distracting.

yes! i know how that is.

and i can understand how some people might even have a concern about this. as there's no way to actually PAUSE a cut-scene. i don't think it would be difficult to implement an option to allow the dialogue to automatically proceed. however, i think it would be wise to also make the cut-scene pause when you hit the button that asks you if you want to skip the cut-scene.

There is keybind that acts as confirm, default is numpad 0, which in conversations acts as if you clicked the mouse in the subtitle box to advance. I assume it works just as well even if the graphical hud is turned of. Not complete solution but that's how I watch my cutscenes, voiced or not, tapping it forward with that key letting my mouse cursor stay out of the screen.
