Would you argue that this requested mechanic is one of the most re-occurring requested mechanics to be implemented?
It’s definitely one of the more common ones. I am under an impression that it’s being requested in some for, over and over again by variety of people, rather than the same reoccurring posters.
They still have almost 5 months though. Combine that with the fact that this is an often requested feature, I will remain hopeful that we might get to see this implemented.
It is a rather fundamental change though - it moves conversation system from “avatar” speaking to party speaking and new systems would needed to be develop to support it both in single and multiplayer, alongside potential changes to the content of the conversations.
