Its not the speeches I dislike its that it takes me 3 seconds to read the chat and 3 seconds for the next sentence to appear. And all those transitions from one character to another that give black screens for 5 seconds (my pc isnt the best so it could be less for others). I love story in games but look at those quests how many words those conversations have and how long it takes. The chat window has like 2 lines of big letters text in the end its just a few dozen lines of script that take minutes to unfold.

And yeah I have to agree im playing at Gridania and everything is so repetitive that it gets boring corridor after corridor that look exactly the same.
