 How about a short CRAP poll for once? I know, you're looking askance
and saying, "You? Short? I don't think so. This is going to be a
five-page essay and have thirty options to chose from." But just you
watch! It's gonna be real short!
   Here we go:
 Subtitles: On or off?
  0) Off
1) On
C) I never play games were people speak
    See? I _can_ do short!
 Me, I almost always turn 'em on. Partly, because -yes- I'm getting a
wee bit older and the ears just aren't as good as they used to be. But
also, I read a heck of a lot faster than people talk, and that either
lets me skip through superfluous conversations without missing
context, or lets me focus on other things (like the visuals) while the
NPCs are yammering away. Plus, sometimes the subtitles give a bit of
extra context that I find interesting, especially if it adds to the
world-building.
 So, a definite 'on' for me.
  What about you? Where do you stand on the vital 'subtitles' issue?
Please provide your short answer below ;-)
 

Default is "Off".  That said unfortunately there are times when one has to turn them on for some reason like the voice actor is speaking a foreign language phonetically.  Very badly.
