So, up to now I've felt the living story a bit of a chore. I couldn't get invested in the charcters, especially my own. It got to the point where I tend to afk during the dialogue then come back for the next objective.
Well, I was planning to do that with Long Live the Lich and alt tabbed back to the game expecting the dialogue to be over. Instead I was presented with dialogue options. Do I want to be diplomatic or outraged? I picked outraged, and my character even implied he took it personally because he was an asura! Suddenly, I wanted to know what was going to happen next. I was engaged.
More of that, please. It doesn't have to alter any outcomes, but to be able to choose my characters temperament in a given situation makes a gigantic difference to immersion
