Dialogue usually encourages you to take your time while your \"race\" wants you to go as fast as possible. The end result is that I don't read any of the dialogue or I don't care about the time. Though the game doesn't seem to care about either outcome. \n\neverything else is doing great though, and i found myself laughing at the \"stats\".
