Emailed support to see if they knew how to switch this off and they pointed me here to complain.

I finally got to the level 91 quests yesterday and some of these cutscenes are a joke. "for all turali" cutscene 3 is a personal nightmare of text moving too fast for no reason and not being able to comprehend what is on my screen before its whisked to the next shot. I still only have a vague idea of what happened in that cutscene and I've gone back and rewatched it multiple times.

I looked gameplay of that quest up to make sure it wasn't just me with a problem and it was just a collection of people that looked away for two seconds and then were scrambling and confused because they missed half of it. Such a strange thing to force on players, especially when it's unvoiced.

Auto-advance is already a toggleable thing, and you CAN change the speed on that, and it recently got changed to have an extra option to enable it for Only voiced dialogue. because people Only wanted it for voiced dialogue.

I really do not understand why they've gone 10 steps back on accessibility for this :/
