Lack of quotation marks can come across as pretentious to me, definitely. If an author does use this quirk, the book has to be astonishingly well-written and thoroughly and competently edited for it to work, such that it is always transparent who's speaking and that they're speaking out loud. Otherwise it can degenerate into an incomprehensible mess, where you're constantly thrown out of the story.
