The original PC game's Intelligence score changes the answers you can give. Set it below four and the manual warns that conversation becomes severely restricted. Before you meet another person, the points you put into your character have already changed what you can say.

Mass Effect (2007)
8.6/10on IGDB
Released
BioWare's original Xbox 360 manual gives you a map for the conversation wheel. The left generally lets Shepard ask for more information, and the right moves the exchange along. The upper and lower positions often signal cooperative and aggressive responses, so you can pick a direction before Shepard delivers the full line.

7.5/10on IGDB
Released
A timer runs while you decide how agent Michael Thorton should handle an exchange. You can act suave, aggressive, or professional, and change your approach from one response to the next. The pressure comes from reading the other person's reaction before your next chance to speak runs out.

The Walking Dead (2012)
8.6/10on IGDB
Released
In Telltale's first season, many exchanges give Lee only a few seconds to answer. The game remembers some answers for later scenes, and a brief notice can show that another character took note. An offhand remark can have a life beyond the scene in which you said it.

7.6/10on IGDB
Released

Firewatch (2016)
7.9/10on IGDB
Released
The handheld radio lets Henry decide what to point out to Delilah as he walks. You can report something you notice, interrupt an exchange, or keep going without checking in. Because a conversation can restart after an interruption, it can unfold around the walk instead of pausing it.

Disco Elysium (2019)
9.3/10on IGDB
Released
Other people speak, and so do the detective's skills. A passive check can bring Drama into the exchange to tell you it suspects a lie. You also get active choices that roll the dice against a skill. The 2019 original gives you a say in whether to trust the voice that just offered advice.

Pentiment (2022)
8.7/10on IGDB
Released
You decide parts of Andreas's background, but people also remember how he treated them. Past choices in conversation can help or hurt one of his later attempts to persuade them. A quiet exchange early on can end up mattering more than the wording of the request he makes much later.

Baldur's Gate 3
Pick a response marked for a skill and the game can stop to put a twenty-sided die on screen. You can see the target and the bonuses that apply before you roll. Seeing the odds makes the risk in the conversation explicit.
