FEATURES
    
The two main features of the mod can be installed independently:

Skip Safely

Conversation lines can be skipped without risk of selecting a response.

  • To skip dialog without selecting a response: Spacebar (kb+m) or X (controller).
  • To select a response:  LeftMouseClick / LeftControl (kb+m) or A (controller).

There are .ini tweaks to address this issue, which have been known for a long time, and implemented for example in Safely Skip Conversations. My mod does it differently, with the advantage that it does not skip nor disable Paragon/Renegade interrupts.

Skip More

All/most conversations can be now skipped. Holding Spacebar (kb+m) or X (controller) will fast-forward some unskippable cutscenes.

Cutscenes are a bit complicated because there are different types:
  • Some are actually part of a conversation. These should now be fully skippable.
  • Some are animated cutscenes. The ones that were unskippable in vanilla should now fast-forward. Making these systematically skippable is possible in principle, but it causes a lot of issues and crashes, so I went for the fast-forward option instead.
  • Some are movies or other exotic constructs, and still reject any attempt to skip or fast-forward.

Known issue: Some conversations are triggered by interacting with an object (e.g. door), and in some of those cases, the first line/cutscene is always skipped if the Use key is the same as the Skip key (i.e. Spacebar with keyboard). In this case, it's inevitable for a mod that makes unskippable lines skippable. It's only for the "Skip More" option of the mod. And it's not a problem with controller, as the use (A) and skip (X) are different. I would recommend to change the key bindings in the game's options: put for example LeftShift for "Use/Cover/Sprint", and Spacebar for "Command HUD (Hold)"... like the default in LE1. I might add an option later on, to use a different key than Spacebar for skipping, if there is significant demand.



If you are feeling sympathetic, you can buy me a coffee to stay awake during the unskippable ones


COMPATIBILITY


This mod is not compatible with Safely Skip Conversations.

As far as I know, there should not be any compatibility issues with other mods.
