📋 About This Mod
In previous game versions you could quickly close a message together with the messenger with a single Esc key press to instantly resume playing.
In the new game you have to exit the message first, wait for the menu animations to complete and then exit the messenger.
While this change may sound like a minor inconvenience with a single message, it becomes increasingly tiresome and annoying when dealing with a series of messages in various quests.
This mod allows you to quickly exit both the message and the messenger with the Esc key to resume playing without going through the new messenger menus.
How it works:
