The ones that really stick out are some of the options in the mage quest line. Which is surprising since doing that quest line implies your character is a mage which implies some intelligence. 'We found some sort of orb thing....' or 'We found something, but ask the other guy about it because I can not explain it.' 'I found some books, I think one might interest you' or 'Have you ever read Night of Tears? Yea that other guy said it was important.'
Or Enthir with the staff... it is obvious what he wants. Why do I have to keep asking questions just for him to get mad at me for not catching on faster?
How about telling the Jarl of whiterun about killing the dragon? Those options were also very vague. Did they do this on purpose so that the Jarl would have to ask me even more clarifying questions in case the player is really slow and needs it spelled out?
In FO games there are dialogue options based on knowledge in that skill or a high intelligence. Intelligence is no longer an attribute, but if my various magic skills are high enough and/or I have read books about a subject can I please have a dialogue option that implies I know what I am talking about? Can I have detailed explanations of things instead of vagueness that has to be followed by 20 questions to understand what I am talking about?
