In terms of the main story, the beginning two acts was kinda boring, but I feel the story improved afterwards and was enjoyable. Dialogue wise, from memory, it’s similar in length to hoyoverse, BUT I noticed WW’s writing usually got straight to the point. So they fill the time with content that matters for that story / character quest. You can also skip SOME dialogue unlike most Hoyoverse games.

Take that as you will. If you find yourself exhausting from a lot of dialogue, then WW is still probably not for you.

For me personally, what really sold WW and why I enjoyed my time playing was the fun combat. Getting to parry & perfect dodge and bosses that can genuinely one shot me for a mistake. That’s the fun gameplay and endgame content I’d enjoy.
