If I could Right-click and "Initiate Conversation" To hog the context post of a dialogue I would love that, or even hit the U while within range of an NPC to Initiate Dialogue, that would be a game changer when I've just barely missed talking to Orson while he's on his way out of town.
I've learned the parry system pretty well, so it's not the end of the world if it doesn't change for me... although that window of time to answer thing really doesn't teach you much except that over time, it mostly only works when you respond between like 15% of the bar left to go and 40%. But it moves at different speeds and is a pain to track, so I might be off the mark there.
Stats wise, I would trade my bars for numbers any day 100/100, 80/80 etc. Everything ticking down as it gets worse but also letting me math how desperately I need to crawl back to the bath house before I lose my damn mind, without opening the whole stat page.
Loving the Discord. Good people all around.
