I certainly don't want to take away existing dialogue options, but I would like expanded options. My more logical characters would try appealing to logic. I would love if the "trust that we can do this" option included a way to talk about how that Elminster's "be a moon Unto yourself" speech was encouraging him to find another way. Elminster thinking there's a better way seems like a big deal, both logically and emotionally.
Oh, I do like that idea! It might also take aways the slightly commanding character the dialogue currently can have - depending on the voice you read it with.
I like these ideas. The companions have supportive dialogue when Gale first gets his orders... at least if you're not playing as Gale. I could only get Wyll or Lae'zel to react when I was playing as Gale. It would be nice if they all said something, and if they brought it up again.
Yes, it is sadly bugged. I hope the next patch fixes the dialogue as well as the companion reactions to when you are a good boy in act 3 and promise Mystra the Crown/Detonation. I had a friend set the missing flags for me to activate Astarion's dialogue for the Elminster scene and enjoyed how frustrated he was with Gale only to spring his "lets take over the cult" speech on him during the next long rest. With a normal Tav, the cult-speech is a bit too chaotic for me to take it seriously, but the way it was worked into Gale's situation turns it into an interesting attempt at manipulation.
