hey everyone i want to play this game but i can't play it with the current dialog system. you just have no control there and can't even tell what you're going to say. i refuse to play some guessing game of chance with dialog as this will just frustrate me to no end, so what is the likelihood of bethesda patching the dialog system at some point do you think? i know a lot of people are complaining about it so maybe they will listen and add an optional traditional dialog system?

at the very minimum i would need to have the full lines (that's 100%, not just longer paraphrases, regardless of how long the line is) i'm about to speak visible in the wheel, that's the bare minimum i need to actually go ahead and buy this game and play it. ideally though they would patch in pretty much the old traditional dialog system from past bethesda games. i'm not hopeful of that though.

what are the odds though of this happening do you think? please don't tell me "mods will fix it". i don't use mods out of principle and never will, i think it encourages laziness and complacency amongst game developers.

Depends how exactly you want it patched. If you just wanna be able to see the full lines, they could easily make a prompt (say "hold R1" in an upper corner) to toggle paraphrases and full lines while in a conversation. If you mean actually fix the dialogue system and putting it back to 3/NV level, then 0%. They won't do that because for some reason they think this is an upgrade, and they can't do it because it's flawed at the roots.

No, Bethesda will not do what you're asking.

There may be a mod, but until we get the mod tools we won't know how much work would be involved (or even if it's possible; previous games had a character limit on dialogue options).

This, pretty much. I can understand not liking the system (I don't either) but it also isn't broken by any means nor does it fail to do what it sets out to. Bethesda isn't going to spend the time and effort to fix something that's not broken when they have plenty of things that are.

I'm sorry to hear your stance on modding because that's the only way you'd get something like what you're looking for. There will definitely be a dialogue mod of some sort, but it may not be able to do exactly what you're asking for; as ishmael said there may be (and probably is) a character limit on dialogue options. We won't know exactly what's possible with it until they release the tools.

I would say none, that would cost to much money and beth is to spread out on to many projects to worry about one game.

Dialog patch?

Sarcastic? ?No

Yes

"No, they'll have a dialogue patch for sure!!! "

Dumb jokes aside, there is little to no chance of a dialogue patch.
