A dialogue system like BG2 but improved with REAL reactivity and TONS choices.
Yeah, that's pretty much a challenge of doing cinematics - developers author how conversation progress to a bigger extend then just showing text. It is not a coinsidence that best titles that used cinematics greatly reduced player's control over protagonis aka. Mass Effect, Witcher.

The only benefit for BG3 would be if Origins will turn out working well - though considering how much work would it take to create unique cinematic for every potential companion I expect it to be half baked as well.
