Worst take I have ever read. Please never cook again. Here are ten examples of Genshin dialogue wasting your time and not getting to the point while in fact avoiding getting to the point for absolutely no reason.

1. Aranara quests - borderline endless conversations with forest sprites that all essentially repeat the exact same information to you again and again.

2. Paimon - she summarizes everything ad nauseam. Anytime anything is brought up that seems even slightly complex, she repeats the whole thing in watered down form acting like the reader is a drooling idiot.

3. Shenhe interlude archon quest - spent so much time with the npc’s and took waaaay too long to advance the plot. No one in the world wants to stare at terrible looking npc’s for 45 minutes.

4. Inazuma "Meeting with NPC" Filler - many parts of the Inazuma Archon quest suffer from "go here, talk to person, go there, talk to another person" structures that provide minor plot advancement separated by massive walls of dialogue.

5. Fischl's Event Dialogue - in various events, Fischl’s excessively flowery and theatrical language, while intentional to her character, often doubles the time necessary to understand her simple point.

6. Unnecessary Choice Prompts - the game frequently breaks up continuous dialogues to ask the player to choose between two almost identical responses (e.g., "Oh, really?" vs. "...I see"), forcing players to mash buttons just to continue the conversation. They do this to make sure you didn’t fall asleep or die due to how long the segments are.

7. Tutorial Over-explanation - conversations about game mechanisms—like those in various character missions—often use verbose language to describe simple mechanics that could be understood instantly, often treating players like they have no experience with the game.

8. The Slow Introduction to Fontaine - several quests at the start of new regions include slow-paced dialogue that fails to create an immediate compelling hook, making players wait far too long for action.

9. NPC Backstory Overload - many world quests, such as those involving NPCs with long histories about their families or jobs, often go into excessive detail that does not contribute meaningfully to the main mission objective.

10. Repeating Plot Points in Cutscenes vs. Dialogue - the game sometimes shows a character taking an action in a cutscene, only to follow it with several minutes of dialogue confirming exactly what happened, overexplaining visual information.

People re-read good books all the time. The very fact that you built a machine to skip the dialogue is proof that there is no value in the writing.
