I want NPC dialog, shared as dialog, in the sort of pacing dialog would have. I don't need it read out to me. "Slow-typing" is almost always annoying, but clicking through lines at my own pace feels natural. I don't care if there's a "skip" button for those who want it, as long as it's not easy to accidentally hit. I dislike the "NPC handed you a piece of paper with their story and request written on it" style of dialog and requests. It reduces my immersion, and nudges my brain to go "Oh! Next thing! Time to go!", not to mention that I'm not interacting with the quest-giver when I'm reading it. That's not really the experience I'm here for, and if it's the only (or main) one available, I'll be disappointed.
I don't mind if you want to provide a basic summary on an "accept quest" screen at the end, listing the objectives, though.
