I just did the harpy fight for the first time on the new patch. When it was done, the little kid walked past my PC (warlock Cha 16), Gale, and Shadowheart and decided to start talking to Lae'zel.

What the hell, man. Why? Why do you make us put up with this really irritating crap mechanic?

We are a party of adventurers with a party leader/face. Why does Larian insist on making a random character speak for the party at every single encounter with dialog? Let us choose the )(@*#&U$(#@*&$ character who is going to talk. PLEASE!
