What happens to all that dialogue talk?

Didn't refer to just companions I beleive. It means minor npc characters too.

Did you play after the patch? banter saturation increased like crazy. Did you chit chat with companions after every major plot missions, like f.ex. Meridian? Because they all have something to say after each big priority mission.

You can also try mixing and matching the comps on each planet too, because their banter often references the environments they are in as well.

I don't usually spend much time on the ship, but I heard them chatting, and I always check their message board. :) I hear Suvi and kallo chat a fair bit, as well as Kallo and Gil. But Suvi and lexi are quieter. I know Suvi is an LI, so I won't say "thanks goodness for it".

Same questions: before patch/after patch, do you mix and match them up on every planet every few forward stations and/or visits?

OMG, PeeBee talking to Gil over comms on Kadara. Barley and clam soup....

I remain exactly as impressed/unimpressed about the "so much dialogue, more than ME3" statements as I did when Mac first announced it. It's always a bad sign when a developer at BioWare starts bean-counting like that and ME3 is the best example of how more feels like less. Yeah sure, there were 20k more lines of dialogue in ME3 but at the cost that conversations felt completely restricted.

If they can't keep up to the amount of dialogue they have with animation and branching choices scale it down or it'll be spread too thin and only feel worse. BioWare games nowadays feel less expansive than games they made 10 years ago.

You mean idiots like me?

They also bean-counted with ME3. "We has 6 writers in ME2, but in ME3 we have 8 and I think the quality of writing has also gone up another level" is what Mac Walters said during that game's hype-cycle.

Look, I get it. Devs want as many people to play their game as possible and they want to generate hype and they're also told to do that by EA marketing. Look at those Voice Actor reveal videos for ME3 and this game. The actors and actresses say some really weird shit in it when you can tell they were asked to sell the game to the audience and that's just how it works. It's transparent as hell and so easy to recognize but some still fall for it.

I was just saying, I'M not surprised people start to seem let down now that they thought this game was going to feel much more expansive than previous games in terms of how much dialogue there was. From DA:I I just know we'll never get beyond the usual 4 squadmate dialogues for every game. It's been that way since ME2 and it seems if their budgets increase the extra stuff just goes elsewhere to expand the breadth of the game and amount of time it takes to beat it rather than deepen the companion stories.

They can't shut up and keep interrupting each other conversation, especially on the new normandy.

The companion with the least content in MEA had more than the companion with the most in ME3, not more than Shepard. The gave overall has about as much dialogue as ME2 and ME3 combined. 

It was mistakenly said, what they meant was that the squadmate with least of lines in this game has more of them than a squadmate with most of lines in ME3.
