Hide "Skip" prompt

Official 1.10 patch released on November 2, 2022 added the functionality to hide the "Skip" prompt during voiced dialogues. However, it's only possible to enable it via configuration file editing as no dedicated option was added to the in-game settings menu.

Edit configuration file
Navigate to the configuration file(s) location. Open graphics.ini. Change hide_skip_prompt_in_dialogues=0 to hide_skip_prompt_in_dialogues=1 and save.
