The main detractors from the request seem to be people who, for whatever reason, actually don't Want to have any control over what they react to when, or if they do at all, and don't view the loss of ability to adequately control your own characters as a downside.
That's actually infuriating. Why are you even playing the game then? Just watch a movie instead, you'll get the ultimate non-interactive experience. Also, on that note, now that you mention it, I find it incredibly intrusive being asked to select all these pace-killing "dialogue" options. I want to be able to toggle my Intimidation on and not actually have any conversations. It slows my game down, maaaaaan. Brooooooooo.
Thanks for the tip, I'll definitely submit feedback directly as well.
