The dialogue can be a bit too much in the first game, especially when it's like
Character 1: *line*
three seconds of silence
*emoticon*
Character 2: *line*
three seconds of silence
*emoticon*
Character 1: *line*
Character 3: *repeats character 1's line in different words*
The second game's not quite as bad about it
