That being said I do love dumb dialogue options for low INT characters. Unfortunately this hasn't been successfully pulled off for some time in gaming.
For more realism and more immersion, a writer who is going to work on low IQ answers must also be very dumb. What do you think? wink

It would be an interesting option when the NPC uses a metaphor or allegory, and the main character with minimal intelligence takes everything directly. Then the NPC makes comments about how dumb the character is

don't think anyone would seriously engage in such masochism and spoil their game, but this could be a fun opportunity for a second or third playthrough. Don't need to pay too much attention to this, but Larian can add some fun dialogue



Thanks to Larian for Baldurs Gate 3 and the reaction to player feedback
