Questions about dialogue

Let's help those out who may not be familiar with the Wasteland world, or may be only familiar with Fallout. What was Wasteland?!

Questions about dialogue

Never played the first game. Since you are controlling a party and not just an individual character, how does dialogue work. Is there a party leader who talks to people for quests and such?

There's no designated speaker, but there's not a lot of dialogue, either. It was mostly just typing in words to get responses.

There is one active party icon Image and inactive disbanded icons Image

The active icon is the one you move and "talk" with, regardless of how many of your party is in that icon group, could be all 7 or just 1. If there are check to do, I think it goes with the 1st player in the group.

For example you could disband the one female character from your party and send them into the female bathroom, and the charisma check would be on her. In other cases the whole group would enter dialog with another person.

Well, if it was an active check, like in the bathroom, you specified which character did it at the time. With passive checks, I actually think every character in the active party made one separately.

AFAIK, passive checks were never made in dialogue situations.
