Skipping to Dialogue Choices

Apologies if this has been addressed.

As a fan of the elaborate story arcs and character relationships I frequently play multiple characters/playthroughs. I personally love [trying] seeing how all the different choices play out from minor single responses, to flipping an entire interaction.

As such, I eventually reach a point were I can almost recite whole chunks of dialogue. Skipping conversation to reach the one chat choice I wish to play different eventually becomes the norm. On consoles; throughout all recent Bioware games; this is achieved by hitting "X" or "A" (Xbox). The problem is they both will select a dialogue choice if they appear.

What I propose is enabling one to act as "skip" button and one as "select" button. This way I avoid accidently selecting a choice when I become over zealous in my rapid button pressing.

Thank you for your time.

This is the case for DAI.

Yes, it's more of a console problem.

 

But yeah, press X to skip, press A to select is how it is right now for DAI, and I can't see that changing.  It's useful for QA too since sometimes we need to pick a particular choice, but we're powering through everything else asap.

So the problem was that on the earlier games both X and A could select dialogue choices, huh?

 

Once again I'm glad I play with mouse and keyboard.

 

I don't remember what they were for other games, but the concern was that, for example, A would be used for both skipping and selecting.  So if you press it quickly to skip, you could potentially select when you didn't mean to.
