When the story is good. Still waiting for that to happen in DF.

I would very much like to answer an enthusiastic āYES!ā, but I fear the centaur history quest proved to me that Iām just skimming it over and not really absorbing the information.
WoW has taught me over the years not to linger with a quest box open - the NPC might move away or a mob might aggro me, so Iām trained to be in a bit of a rush to pick up or complete.
Also, I donāt enjoy trying to decipher instructions from quest text - partly just because the parts of my brain that play this game tend to be more geometrical than linguistic.

There should be a āsometimesā option. If Iām particularly interested in the story and/or characters involved I will like the recent blue dragon quest line. I even enjoyed the simple whelp daycare quest line.

It depends on if Iām interested in the characters enough to read everything. Generally I donāt read quest text.
50% yes? This is surprising
I used to read all quest dialogue until around bfa. Wod and legion had some really cool quest text. Sometimes Iāll still see something thatās pretty funny pop up here and there in dragonflight.
Always at least once.

I read quest text the first time around, typically. Some quests are particularly good and Iāll reread them repeatedly.
Not everything was, but there were some very well written and thoughtful pieces in Dragonflight and Iād love to see more of that in future expansions, or even for it to become a standard. Thatās a lot of work to put in if this many people donāt even read, though.

Technically the āwhat was the questionā isnāt a yes, which means itās a no. So its 56% against atm.
I do.
Iāve always enjoyed your side stories. Thereās a lot of good stuff in those.

Almost never, but sometimes if Questie isnāt loading and Iām unfamiliar with the quest.
The worst thing is that talking heads would make my life as a no-reader even better. I have them completely disabled. That would effectively eliminate quest text, but would make it worse for people who want quest text.
Changing my vote to yes now, yikes.
nm, canāt change it

Sometimes, but usually not. I do so enjoy when stuff is voiced.
I do 100% prefer voiced. One thing I loved about ESO, but I do read it when it is a story that I am more curious about for lore reasons. Like something that has to do with Scarlet Crusade or Pirates or something different than whatever the new theme was of the expansion. But I am also a roleplayer so those affect how I play my character more.
No, the default quest log is tiny and hard to read for me. I use a voice addon for classic and my questing experience has improved drastically.
Depends I guess. lol
hmmm I am going to say no
That would be a no for me
