What do you think about the Mass Effect style dialogue system presented in the F4 premier?

I personally feel like it is several steps backwards compared to where dialogue was in NV and even F3. Thoughts?

Horrible.

Only 4 dialog options per convo...that...svcks.

But yeah dialog wheel in general. Ugh.

My least favorite reveal.

/thread

I can't accept it without a broad selection of voices and personality types, which is probably too much to ask for. I already hate the incredibly boring generic (white) male voice.

Hope voice is optional to turn off.

Combined with the voice actor, easily one of the most disappointing things about the game. You could not get more wrong than what they just did right there.

It's the one area I was praying that would be improved upon and in reality writing and dialogue options have regressed significantly.

Three steps forward... Tumbling back...

I hope they have multiple voice options.

So, no skills and Mass Effect style dialogue.

Like turning it off.

the forced voice acting is meh, but I'd get over it. I do like how (or atleast) it was implied that there are several different possible dialog possibilities from one choice.

The four options only is really disappointing....

That means your skills no longer will yield different dialogue options and any major choices will be cut down to the likely ''Black vs White''. We pretty much have a slightly modified Skyrim dialogue system.....

Why!?

I will reserve judgement until I play, but it didn't seem so bad and I can see it feeling almost natural after a while. I do hope you get the option to turn it off if you get tired of it.

They didn't get much into story and how dialogue works. Soooo...hmmm. I dunno.

Only a few words per choice.

"Yeah" -> "You know what? That sounds like a great idea. We'll try that!"

Such enormous [censored]. Forced third-person view during dialogue as well. How could they make such an amazing game and crap all over it with a voiced protagonist and gimmicky character creation?

There probably taking fallout into there own direction with a voiced protaganist they will probably leave the elder scrolls voiceless. I wonder how there going to handle story.

Disappointed

Easily the biggest disappointment for me.

It's not forced You can do 1st person as well.

Ow and to everyone complaining, they didn't explain how it works so how can you already say that it's limited and disappointing just wait and experience it for yourself.

I was used to it in 'Mass Effect' and 'Dragon Age'. I'll just pick the one that's closest to my character's personality and watch.

And yeah, you can do it in first person, you can walk out of the conversation, or you can just shoot the speaker in the face as Howard said.

One of the only bad things...

Hopefully a mod comes out that removes the dialogue wheel and the voiced character

He was in first-person when he walked up to the robot and was forced into third-person when he responded with a dialogue choice.

That's forced third-person.

Others beat me to it, but don't worry about the dialogue view being forced third-person. Todd said that you can stay in first person if you wish.
