First, love the ea.

On the topic of party dialogs.
I am playing single player and after picking up a couple of companions if find the dialogue system a bit tedious.
Since every race/class/background story gives different reactions from the npc's, i end up first going trough the dialogues with my main, then i do it over with the companions to get different answers and quests..
So will this be changed in the future? I can see the appeal in multiplayer, but for singleplayer it is just extra "work".
I would rather have the companions just agree with me and do the quest together, now like the completionist i am i feel the need to get all the different dialogues and answer different based on the origin/race etc.

Is there anything forcing you to speak to every (or any) NPC with multiple party members? Just assume your PC is the party leader, and that the rest of the party will follow his or her lead. Removing roleplaying options is... not the way to go, I think.
