I skip cut-scenes and dialogue because they're absolute garbage. Everybody talks like either Shakespeare or a pirate in a long, flowery style that I instantly tired of the day I bought the game. On top of that, none of it sounds at all natural. I have more to do with my day than read dialogue.

Even if I didn't skip the cut-scenes, the story is so watered down with pointless busy work that it would be very hard to provide any kind of summary that would be both coherent and succinct.
