I also come from tabletop and it makes all the difference being able to choose who participates in dialogues and skill checks, once these characters are close to the scene.
As for multiplayer, we have the option for those not in the dialogue to vote on the response that will be given.
However, it's still not ideal.
Another problem with multiplayer is that we can't deactivate shared initiative, which also hinders gameplay dynamics in some cases.
