So, if a player is subjected to too much text without exploration/combat/etc to break it up, they become fatigued and miss important details in conversations, get bored and skip it, or (in the worst case) quit playing. Thus we want to keep text as concise as possible without skipping important info or losing the emotional impact.
We know this already.
But here's a question: Is reader fatigue measured in words or "screen switches"? Should I be working on eliminating as many words as possible from my dialogue, or should I reduce the number of times the player presses the "Next" button? Or, counter-intuitively, do packed dialogue frames wear on readers, meaning I should break the text up by adding more boxes with less text each?
My characters are talk too much, and I'm looking for the best way to fix it.

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
