Let's not twist it to something that it is not. It's extremely wordy even for old school gamers.
No, it really isn't. "Old School" text based games certainly had a large amount of text to provide the player. The transition to "show, don't imagine" happened very very rapidly and turned many RPGs into ARPGs overnight. See, the problem is that tabletop is nearly impossible to "show" without making all kinds of a mess (and when you do start showing, people complain and cry about weapons clearly hitting)… not only with the combat system, but also with the ability to do actions outside said system that affects combat resolution. Really, even Inquisitor is more ARPG than RPG which is something people miss too often, that combat, even any combat, really isn't what makes an RPG.
A great deal of the text is also clearly "copied" from what other people said, sometimes even verbatium. You could talk to people and get the generic responses in old school RPGs over and over and over and say "this is wordy because everyone has an option to be spoken to" but what happened here was simply everyone was given mostly unique text. It appears wordy only because you have multiple unique dialogs with little variation between them.
Which is why though I enjoy that type of gameplay, it is definitely not a game for everyone; the ARPG crowd will quickly get bored I feel.
I think that people REALLY don't understand what the ARPG crowd is which is why people are acting like they play "RPGs." Heck, even with the better RPGs there's always two ways to play.
A) Take in the entire atmosphere and really feel like you're the person there doing these actions
B) Blah blah, text, blah blah, Oh a quest! Lets go kill things!
You can
A) Develop a "class" beforehand and give yourself intentional but interesting handicaps
B) Max-Min, Headshot WOOT!
You can
A) Sit around in town not really doing much, maybe simply reading misc books you picked up, for a few hours and save+quit being fufilled
B) Are you kidding? I'd slaughter the town and then reload and slaughter them again!
Playing something that has strongish RPG elements like an ARPG means you still are playing ARPGs.
