It would be nice to have an option to pick the speaker in multiplayer too. I'm playing a rather squishy bard with one group and the burly fighter and barbarian are frequently the first one in a room. Naturally, they are not-at-all spec'd for diplomacy (like I am), just as I'm not spec'd for surviving being up at the front of the formation.

If there was a way for the initiator of diaglog to interject and say, "Just a moment, let me have XXXXX discuss this with you..." that's all we would really need.
