[QUOTE="Admin, post: 57479, member: 1"] Dialogue choices are a huge part of any great Bethesda RPG, so fans have been wondering what kind of system the developer would implement in Starfield. Now, thanks to a [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDNimT0O8LE']new video[/URL] from Bethesda, director Todd Howard has shared some details of what to expect in your conversations in Starfield's star systems. "We've gone back to kind of a classic Bethesda-style dialogue [system]", Howard said. "You're looking at the character and how they emote, you have a series of choices there."
