Does anyone else really hate the change to how conversations are now initiated?

Take Arabella in the druids grove, before you could send you �face� in first and had little problem saving her.

Now if your character has a very low Cha' score unless you scum save and reload 3 � 6 times (or don't take them in at all) the chances of saving her are very small.

What's the point of having a balanced party when one of the most important parts of the game is forced onto your character whether it is built for it or not.
