>>11836476When I played, it helped to use a speedup button that was enabled by a semi-official bug-fixing patch I'd installed. Running through some of the game's long, realistically sized passages was much too tedious, but with the speedup function it was fine. That probably helped with slow animations in battles too I imagine (I've forgotten the details). But if what you're burned out on is just talking to people and actually doing quests, then speedup may not be enough. Anyway, be aware that the most charming bits are probably ahead of you. It's a really cool game, aside from... much of the "game" part of it.
