I wish we could have the option for companions or (especially) player characters to interject in and help with conversations, and just being able to participate in them in general. As it stands, I might accidentally talk to an NPC with someone other than a face character, and then not be able to repeat the dialogue with someone that has a reasonable chance of succeeding at conversation-related skill checks.
And as my friend described it, the combat may be multiplayer, but the conversations are definitely singleplayer. If my wizard is right next to my friend's fighter who's talking with someone, why wouldn't my wizard be able to make a knowledge and interject with some helpful info? If the whole party is speaking with someone, why can't any of the other party members make insight rolls and point out that someone's being a little sus?
