Is there a way to read messages that are displayed on screen? There are messages that pop up during the game that I would like to review, 2 seconds is not slow enough.

Its quite a pain when you miss those because of you being encumbered or just as you received/dropped alot of items. I'd rather have some of them show a messegebox. At least the important ones anyway.

Become a faster reader?
I mean it's fairly obvious stuff... If you're moving very slow you are probably encumbered. :tops:

Most of them aren't important, just status related stuff ("sneak critical on fiend!" "Broc Flower added to inventory") or when you finish a quest/challenge ("Not a Drop to Drink!" "You gained the BugStomper Perk!"). But far as I know, no, no way to make them stay on screen longer. I suppose if one could find the timer setting in the GECK you could alter that number for a tiny mod, but that's probably about it. And if you make them stay onscreen longer, it'll just delay any messages that come after, worse than the delay that's often already present.

*mumbles about sneak critical or plant-picking messages showing up 5 minutes after the fact...*
