Dialog Speed

First, I'm new to this game (and to the developer) as I picked it up on a lark from gamersgate. I've installed the various english patches as per the readme.

Am I missing something or do I really have to wait for 10-15 seconds or more for some
dialogs are allow to progress forward? No button or key presses seem to make much if any difference. I'm now using a hack I wrote many years ago to speed up the game so the dialogs go away faster but I'm wondering if there isn't a better more appropriate way to skip through dialogs?

Edit: Nevermind. ESC does the job as I found in one of the guides. Would prefer space or mouse 1 or something but it works.

Yeah, if somebody figures out the redefine that key, please tell me too!

By default it is the BACKSPACE key ( 8,-1 )

thus it is possible to manually set in the CONTROLSETTINGS.INi, not the one in the Main game folder but C:\Users\Public\Documents\White Gold\INI

If you want it on SPACE than assign in the Control INI

Skip Movie=32,-1

and the dialogs will advance.
