When I play I usually talk as my main character just because I don't want to have to go through every conversation four times. Some of the things that I dislike are when playing single player having to go through four dialogs just to have everyone agree or disagree on the same thing. This works for coop because each character is played by someone different but is annoying in single player. A solution could be to have it so only someone controlled by a player can talk. Get rid of the all 4 party members chiming in just to say they agree or disagree. For story element a party member can get an exclamation above their head saying they want to say something but the player should not control what they are saying. I don't know how this would fit into multiplayer though.
I very much agree and I already made a distinctive
thread to discuss this very topic. Feel free to join the conversation.
Finally, get rid of merchant dialog or change it so I don't have to talk to them just to buy something. Some conversation is okay but when walk up and try to trade and then have to sit there for 3 minutes talking to them just so I can walk away it gets annoying.
You can trade with NPC directly by just clicking on the small red trade button in the upper left corner of the dialogue window. You don't have to go through their whole dialogue for that.
