Any way to have a conversation where the main character is walking? Standing in one place is boring and having an introductory conversation as two people are making their way through a town is more interesting. I could go with a cutscene, but interactive is better.

Thanks for any help.

It's a lot of work, but you can have a moving conversation so long as the conversing characters pause every time the player gets to select a response. The conversation with Duncan at the beginning of Ostagar is an example.



What you do is have a series of stage locations progressively further along the path, where the group will stop and the player can select their response. During the NPC lines between the player responses, the NPCs are given animations to start walking, continue walking and eventually come to a stop just in time for the next player line



It's a complicated thing to stage, but it can look very cool. Beyond this kind of "fake" walking conversation though, I don't think there's much you can do while still being interactive. Having a voiced protagonist would help, but you'd still be limited by everyone needing to be playing a looping animation while the player selects their response.
