So ... maybe im too late to sugest something like this ...
But i really feel like we are lacking some option to make actions (not just talking) toward NPCs ...
Take Arabella ... yes i know, i keep repeating this example over and over, it just bothers me that much.
We either persuate Kagha, or not ... and if we dont, we are just watching child (
that totally deserves it) die with our hands crossed on our chest ...

We have around 20 Healing potions in your bag, 5 antidotes, potion of poison resistance, at least 4 Revivify scrolls, and dont let me start about how many spellslots can your party potentialy have, with prepared healing and conditions removing spells!
Let us do something!
You need to child die to be "dramatic"? Fine, let it die ... but let us try to prevent it and fail!
Let our Tav try to administer potion, but let it be "too late" ...
Let our Tav to waste revivify scroll, since her afterlife would be quite fine compared to this existence ...
Let our Tav to offer her parents last conversation with her ...
Those all are actions you offered to us, actions we now have and that are part of the world, not just game mechanics ... let us use them.
Dont limit such things for "party member only", or "outside of conversation only" ...
Dont let other NPCs whine around dead body that is actualy floating abowe the ground, while we talking to it and IT FREAKING ANSWERS! ... they really should react on that.
I completely understand that this may seem like tie your own noose ...
Since some players would want to heal, and ress every single NPC that exists ... but i dont think it would be ... we can "talk to any dead NPC" but vast majority of them dont answer, narator simply tells us that corpse have nothing to say and we are done.
Revivify scroll can be exactly the same, if we ress some NPCs they can either simply runaway without a word ... or they can ignore our effort (wich would mean waste the scroll) to ress them, since they are happy in the afterlife ...
> Would be great if we could ask them by Speak with Dead if they wish to be ressurected.
Also ...
I would like to ask for Subtle Spell (Sorcerer Metamagic) to be useable during conversation casting to negate some conesequences ...
Friends > NPC cant know we used magic on them
Detect Thoughts > advantage, or big bonus to sucess ...
Stuff like that.
This may be a little chaotic suggestion, i struggled with finding corect words, let me know if its understandable.
//Edit:
Important thing that i forgot and was pointed out later:
Revivify scrolls should be made MUCH more rare and expensive! And when i say MUCH, i mean it ... like ten times more rare and expensive seems acurate to me.
