But I haven't seen anything else about this issue, nor have I ever seen Larian comment on the issue
Shortly after the EA started, Swen did an interview with two German streamers (that I was never able to track back since then) where he basically promised (among other things) that this expanded dialogue system was something in the work.
Nothing ever came from it and I suspect that as far as they are concerned they consider the issue "solved" with the current "roll and buff" interface.
That's what worries me the most about the current system with no sign from Larian acknowledging it or following up on it after almost 2 years of EA now.
It worries me because the more and more they release whilst ignoring on improving the dialogue system and as they continue to finish the remaining Acts of the game, the more it makes me think it will be impossible to improve or change the current system without breaking everything they have already finished. Which creates a "So why bother?" mindset.
I feel like Larian buries their head into the ground like an ostrich whenever it comes to this issue. It really saddens me hearing about Swen promising an expanded dialogue system in the beginning with some off-hand comment during a live stream, but nothing has been said or seen ever since.
Yet the issue is brought up often enough, just not on the level I have attempted to highlight it within this thread. It's usually a short comment on wishing we could change characters during dialogue, but never really expressing how anti-party the whole dialogue system is to begin with. Especially for multiplayer co-op play.
