On a different note, can you remind me where and when Larian talked about overhauling the conversation system ?
It was an interview with Swen Vincke barely days after the EA started. I remember they were either German or Belgian streamers but the whole thing was in English.
In the middle of several other questions, they asked him if there was a plan to make party members take care of skill checks where they outperformed the main character on one particular aspect and Swen's answer was something like "We are working on a new improved dialogue interface that will make feel all the party more involved in the conversation, but it will come later in EA".
It may very well be a dropped feature at this point, given that in two years we have yet to hear a single thing about it again and we are still waiting for basic classes to be implemented.
