Veilguard Romances and Companion Interactions Feel Shallow

The game is hurting so badly for a dialogue wheel. Being able to talk to your companions and learn more about them through conversation that you control has an unexpectedly outsized impact on how close the player character can feel to their companions.

I'd love to keep the exclamation marks for when a quest is available or for when a unique scene is playing. I love that they have the companions interact with each other around the Lighthouse. I hate that it apparently came at the expense of the player character.
