Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Allowing other characters to speak in conversation

So I'm playing as a main character ranged Warlock with high charisma and speaking skills. As we wander the wilderness I usually control the cleric so she is out in front when we run in to a combat encounter. The problem is that sometimes we run into a conversation encounter. In this case the cleric is the speaker and the only speaker meaning my main character with the high charisma and speaking skills does not get to roll any of the checks. There is a button to switch to another character but that character is considered "outside" the conversation and still can not participate.

Just wondering if this is how conversations are intended to work in single player or not fully implemented. Or maybe I'm missing something.
