Only unique thing to Fallout dialogue is the influence of stats and skills on it. A fleshed out dialogue interface is something that most decent RPGs have, so I think is more about bringing back some of that RPG feel through dialogue than imitating any game in specific.

I DON'T want the world to freeze when I'm talking to a NPC.

This.

I prefer Oblivion's system, that way you select a topic and can imagine what your character says yourself.

That would definitely be an improvement but why chose that when the one in Dragon Age: Origins was even better,



I liked it too. But the problem with voiced protagonists is that i will hate the dialog if i don't like my characters voice, and so far, Mass Effect is the only roleplaying game i have ever tried where i didn't wish my character would just shut up... well alright, the dialog in Two Worlds is so bad that it's more fun than annoying really.

I've never understood this. What do you mean 'imagine'? :ermm:

Of all the things they could pull from Fallout 3, the way dialogue was handled would be one of the few things I'd like to see. Especially with actual proper use of skill checks instead of pathetic mini games.

Do I really need to explain?
:slap:

You've slapped me too many times. THIS IS THE LAST STRAW!

My point is: One word topics doesn't make me create a conversation in my head.

Sorry, I just err like the Emote...
Well, I do, not automaticly of course, I do that when I roleplay. Although I don't really mind, I think Fallout's system is more limited than Oblivion's.

The dialogue in both Morrowind and Oblivion was pretty bad. Fallout 3 had much better dialogue and I like that attributes and skills play a role in the dialogue.

I prefer Fallout 3's take on dialog because it's completely written out what your going to say, your speech skill matters, and other things can effect actions and reactions of characters.

I could go for either. For me when I press in example "Duties" at the Fighters' Guild in Oblivion...

I think

"Oreyn, do you have any work for me?"

Or when I press "Dark Gift" in the Dark Brotherhood...

I think

"Vincente, give me the gift of eternal life. The ability to enjoy the life-force of my foes."

I also want it the way it's in Fallout. You sometimes have 3 or 4 ways to say the same thing, this is perfect for role playing.

I didn't mind Oblivion's system, but only because it was my first RPG, now that I've played FO3 and NV I couldn't play with a dialogue system like in Oblivion anymore, that's just stupid and backward.

I would love to see the dialogue system like they had in Mass Effect and Dragon Age, where you can make decisions that will effect the outcome of your task or the world.

Ive said this a few times before, but I'd like to see a Morrowind style topic selection system where each choice starts a short conversation, then to direct the conversation in the direction you want you can use a Mass Effect/Alpha Protocol style response selection wheel. What is on the selection wheel, and how long you can keep the conversation going, and how much information you can dig out of the conversation is dependent on the players speechcraft skill.

This would allow a greater implementation of the speechcraft skill into the actual dialog itself, also it would allows for a greater selection of topics within dialog while keeping the immersive responce selection of a better dialog selection system.

I'd love to see a more Fallout-esque dialogue system. I feel much more involved in the conversation that way.

Morrowind's npcs were walking info kiosks. Oblivion handled it better but I still felt like I was just standing there while npcs rattled on.
And don't even get me started on the speechcraft minigame!!

Fallout-style dialogue it′s an improvement in role-play, so, they might use it

While I understand what your saying to a point you still are just going down set paths. You can choose how you say something by roleplayong but you can't choose what you say and the npc will have no reaction to the roleplaying going on in your head. In fallout while the choices you had were limited you could still choose different outcomes in the gameworld. In other words, in oblivion you rarely if ever got to make choices that affected the game world or npcs.
