"One of the features I really liked in Crimson Desert is you can fast forward through dialogue while still being able to understand the context, it's not a jump skip, but a time save."
"When you die to a boss or need to reload a save, or want to do a 2nd playthrough. It's nice to be able to skip dialogue... I actually wish they had a skip button and not just fast forward. Having the option to skip or fast forward isn't a bad thing."
"I think the majority of us can agree that skipping or, in this case, fast-forwarding through dialogue during your first playthrough of a game is ridiculous. But for a second playthrough? Unless you're unlocking new dialogue paths, I don't see a problem with brushing past a cutscene you've already watched."
Crimson Desert introduced a fast-forward feature allowing players to set cutscenes to triple speed, generating online discussion about its purpose and design. Critics questioned why RPG players would want to skip dialogue, comparing it to skipping shooting in an FPS. Content creators defended the feature, noting its utility during boss retries, save reloads, and subsequent playthroughs. The fast-forward option occupies a middle ground between full skipping and normal playback, allowing players to maintain story context while saving time. Supporters argue that skipping or fast-forwarding dialogue becomes acceptable on second playthroughs when players have already experienced the narrative.
