A solution has already been suggested for monthes...
Don't trigger a cinematic with NPCs you can't answer.
It's nice to see the cinematic dialogue.
Maybe they could make it so that it goes to non-cinematic dialogue after having the cinematic dialogue appear once.
Highlight things, especially with ! would be awefull.
Just like when your docile companions have something to tell you but are waiting for you to come.
Being able to choose to have your party members talk to you instead of having the "!" would be nice.
As for highlighting being awful, we already have highlighting for characters and for objects.
Having the ability to toggle dialogue indicators wouldn't be bad.
