I definitely think the new dialouge skip as a step in the right direction; however, you still have to press the button for every pause in the text box. It would feel more fluid and responsive, and in cases where the text has been read before, for the button to show everything in the text box as soon as it is pressed. Or at the very least, maybe adding a button to quickly skip past already seen dialog? Such as holding down ctrl and it skips the current text.
It could also be a toggle to decide if the text is skipped to the end, or just skips the pause, as this could be just a preference. But it's up to your discretion :3
