We don't want to diminish the creative work of Blizzard or the voice actors, but we believe thatexperiencing the dialogues and video sequences in full length once is sufficient.

Fortunately, you can skip dialogues and cutscenes faster than the actors can utter the first word. If you find yourself in a cutscene or dialogue, simply hold down the Circle button on the PlayStation, the B button on the Xbox, or press the Escape key (Esc) on PC. Even before somebody can speak a single word, you'll skip the sequence.
