Topic: [DONE][Moves] Talking and saying bye

While playing, I found it annoying that it costs me a move to talk to someone, and then all they have to say to me is bye? Perhaps saying bye could give you a move? or something like that?

Just because even after you've finished a quest, you want to go round town and talk to every1 so as to see if any other conversation topics were unlocked or whatever... That's big suggestion No. 1 from Phreak...

Agreed...but I spoke with Brother Erryn about this. There are multiple quests that are nothing but conversation, so anything that got rid of the "1 conversation = 1 action taken" rule would let people play for a VERY long time. I asked him about the possibility of an Uber Perk to allow free conversations. He said it would be theoretically possible, but if it did make it into the game, it would be VERY expensive.

I think I've experienced this deja vu before...

I think I understand what Phreak's talking about. Sometimes the conversation is only the NPC saying something, and your only option is to say "Bye" or the equivalent. That falls under "interactive conversation", so it costs a point, but there's really nothing to the conversation to merit an action cost.

I have an idea for what I might be able to do about this...I'll get back to you guys.

EDIT: Ok, here's what I've done. If the ONLY thing you do in a conversation is click on the "bye" option, there is no action cost. Click any other conversation options, and there is.

Are you playing?

Cool, I made a new character and tried the 'new' talking, and it was much better. A character new to the game would probably only waste 30 moves talking to people.

And there is much rejoicing. A good solution.
