The prompt for skipping dialogue just disappeared completely from my game. I didn't change any of the key bindings so that's not the issue. Is there anyway to fix this?

one way is press c to clear line by line

other is

hold c to 'fast foward' that particular section

this option somewhere

at some point i hit this myself, and was repeatedly hitting 'c' getting nowhere....then saw the 'hold c' style function for it...

anyway, aside from that, ive not experienced what you described

good luck ;D

Yeah, I tried switching the 2 input methods, no dice. The prompt just isn't there anymore.

There are another couple of threads about the same thing here on the forums (can't post link). Seems there's a bunch of us with this issue. No fix yet.

@nadarath in another thread found the cause of this for him and at least two more people including myself. I can't post a link because the forum blocs link posting but I will quote his post:

"I had this bug for around 20-30 hours of game time and I just got rid of it.
I have some vague idea of what might be wrong.

I did all the Evelyn and Panam quests then I've stoped doing main story quests and got left with Gimme Danger - the part where you need to talk to Takemura near to stalls. And I remember runing past him - triggering his dialogue but I never did follow up on his quest. Once I was done with all the side quests I could do I came back to Gimme Danger quest. Once I've progressed a bit and got to talk to Takemura near food stand the Skip Dialogue option was back.

So either this is related to triggering some quest and not doing it. Or i just got lucky. Maybe it will help someone with similar problems."
