Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback What makes me REALLY angry: being unable to choose talking character

So, here's the situation:


Please add ability to change speaker in patch 4, thanks.

I will savescum the hell out of this now, but besides wasting my precious time this is of no use.

I agree completely. It's a common request I am sure they have seen before.

If there was a like button, I believe there would be more likes to this post then posters on the forums.

This would save a LOT or resaves. I agree, it it frustrating and should be changed.

+1 sometime it can be annoying.

Yup, after defeating a certain individual rescued man talked with whoever was the closest.

Improved since Early Access, but still happens in some scenarios unfortunately. Such as the encounter with Fezzerk in Blighted Village who will beg for his life to the closest party member.

I missed out on the special dialogue at Waukeen's Rest with Wyll because I went to save the other guy, and instead the important NPC approached Lae'zel.

Sadly, it really can piss people off. When i am playing with my friend, she is coming along with me for the story and not really for the gameplay and that is why her character usually drops persuasion and deception skills. Even though i am the party leader and am the one who engage the actions, it still happens quite often that the moment we are done with a fight she is forced to be the speaking character. Would be nice to see a kind of a character priority option regarding this case.

There's a reason everyone and their mum plays CHA-based characters. Having a "face" is absolutely necessary in D&D if you don't want to miss out on content / opportunities. We need to be able to choose who is talking. What we're having right now is the equivalent of a DM saying to the face of the group "actually, the NPC is talking to someone else. No, sorry you can't pitch in. No, you can't help with any skill checks." No one would like that.
