I love keyword based dialog. It's the feature I miss the most in modern RPGs, specially in the "total freedom, sandboxy" subgenre. I remember it in Morrowind.

I love keyword based dialog. It's the feature I miss the most in modern RPGs, specially in the "total freedom, sandboxy" subgenre. I remember it in Morrowind. It was daunting at first, coming from more traditional RPGs. But then it clicked. The ability to ask anyone anything is, may I say it, realistic. As @mratzloff said, voice acting killed this. It is also my opinion that voice acting impoverished dialog in RPGs greatly.
