    I wonder if they could fix that by having 4 options that align with whatever archetype you’ve selected.

    Then you don’t need “ridiculously good” “meh” “ridiculously evil” “… Just continue the story” options

    Pick if you want to play ridiculously good, meh, or ridiculously evil at the start of the game, or if you want to be a passive observer. They’d have to write 3x more player dialogue, but that’s really not that much (have the responses barely change, you know they barely change anyways)

      That blows up the conversation trees by 4 times how many archetypes there are. You can do the smart thing like bg3 or fallout new Vegas and add options to the more generic ones based on archetypes

    Fyi if you play this game on PC there are multiple great mods that revert the dialogue UI back to legacy style, where it shows you the actual dialogue choices in full, just like previous games.

      The biggest issue is that the dialogue options are all shoehorned into the 4 choices “yes”, “snarky yes”, “why will I say yes?” and “no but actually yes”. Being able to see them in advance is better than nothing but the system is still pretty flawed.

    Playing F4 made me realise more than ever that the draw of the Fallout universe for me is the ability to uncover hidden dialogue options by tweaking your skills the right way.

    I never finished it and it makes me sad.

    In theory my dialog choices are better and more plentiful, but in practice that timer is real short and so my answer is to always stall, “Um… hmm.” Telltale hard mode out here

      You should try it with lowered perception (hearing issues). You spend half the timer just trying to figure out what they said before you can even begin to craft a response.
