I agree that it "CAN" make sense in some situation but not without any limitations. I really think that it would be way more interresting with rules rather than a system totally uncontrolled.

Why couldn't everyone spotted enter the dialog or enter turn based mode rather than being able to act like if the world was totally frozen ?


In a city environment that would be a nightmare.

It would be extremely disruptive to game flow - I am having a conversation with someone and a party member walks by and gets pulled into it without a choice? Just, no.

The way its implemented is closer to how actual D&D would play out with each player taking their own actions and making their own choices. In a given D&D session other players are welcome to tell me how they would act - including stealing from an NPC distracted by a conversation.

Imagine saying to a player "well you can't do anything because that player is in a conversation" *blank stares*

I feel like this is another example of the most zealous players "grinding the game to dust" and 'finding' problems that don't exist.
