Not really, most of the time you get 2-3 options, including the "goodbye" option.


And in those non-existent games you create a lunatic who is on a quest to save their own people while saying pre-determined lines to NPCs.

Oh you can choose witch pre-determined lines you say, that is oh so different in Fallout 4 where these pre-determined lines are voiced.

(Let us completely ignore the parts where the PC speaks without any prompt outside the dialogue screen, since it happened in the first 2 games that doesn't exist)

Actually, there's this little function that allowed you to type in keywords to ask NPCs about, in FO1 and 2. Checkmate, bitch. I choose logic.

Ok ok, Fallout 4 is exactly the same dialogue-wise as the older games. Except that you don't see exactly what your character is going to say... and that it's limited to 4 options (older games had more options, but not ALL the time so it's basically the same)... and I'm stuck with a particular voice for my character.

But it's the same basically.

It's the same in that, as in the other games, you have a number of different options; it's different in that the dialogue option is abstracted then spoken aloud. I can recall several times you had three or less options in FO1, 2, 3, and NV, or where it'd be the same where you'd have a couple with an option to investigate further. It sounds like you're more upset with the presentation of it than it being functionally different, since it's not. And that's okay! Maybe just buy another game if that bothers you too much.

You get to see what they say after you press the button because reading the text then having to hear it voiced is stupid and the exact reason that no story based game does that and instead lets you pick the message you deliver then have you get to watch it play out in dialog instead of letting you click a paragraph then having to watch the actor deliver the paragraph you just read.
