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.
I respectfully disagree.
Cinematics are very interresting for dialogs.
Cinematics for a sentence are not in my opinion.
Your solution is better than nothing but I'd really like better not to loose 5 to 10 seconds each time. It may already annoying in the goblin camp... what is it going to be in Baldur's Gate ?
[Text box] or [cinematic] leads to the same result as your previous suggestion but without the need to add any highlighting.
