Just trade with the guy and look UP and you'll see only you and his text appears.

Honestly, you just don't get it.  Emoting one-liners is for you.

This isn't.

I don't see why you need a dialogue window to talk to the guy..  What's wrong with just RPing with text appearing above his head?

Also, I'll thank you not to make erroneous presumptions about me.

Its RP, not PvP, not PvE, not chatting.  The best RPers should actually become GMs who play spawn characters for events lead through RP.  Interacting with players who have style ( not necessarily rich/great PvPer) and can handle creative thinking more than riddles and mini-tournaments.  A series of events for instance, almost like quests except more custom on-the-fly.  Eventually you will come up with a few good events you can have set in as real quests maybe.  Without some free-RP you are left with forcing the admins to come up with riddles etc etc.

I think even admins would enjoy taking a bit off their work load (its also a game to them too remember).  This allows players to do more between them without relying on these events so regularly since they can spontaneously stir up shit between them through RP.   Player to Player lead RP that could offer ideas to the admin or keep players at least occupied so I don't have to hear people complaining about admins not coming up with anottther riddle or event. Worst thing you can do is make this game feel like a job to the admin.

Better off allowing the players to take more into their own hands, stealing while bartering shouldn't be possible since they are messing with their inventory as its going on.  (stealing while just Chatting is fine even in full dialogue imo)  If you get into combat... automatically the fullscreen dialogue should lower.  Not that it matters players die so fast even if you are on fullscreen, have 12 words over your head or you're not even looking at the screen?  You're dead before you know it for the most part.

If you hear bullets, exit and get ready for action?  I don't see the big issue.   I doubt anyone who doesn't RP would bother but I could see it catching on if people actually go out to RP and then they could easily come up with new quests/events we could hardwire into Fonline eventually if players can write up some good stuff.  

if I can figure out how to post a picture (button but no upload?) I'll show you, since its much easier than all this explaining.  (Fake possibility edited with paintshop:)

Not to mention it doesn't seem like much work to implement being there is already a say button/command so should be able to easily mimic it into an emote button/command.

GMs actually RP ALOT with other players.

Most of them are very good at it to be honest although they tend to use their powers that doesnt relate to fallout canon but still its pretty fun.

But even then there are some GMs who simply stand around places giving out temp-made quests.  An example would be when me and a friend went to New Reno and found two GMs or "Devs" since I had never heard of them.  They had us kill this drug dealer (Spawned), gave us exp and a scoped hunt rifle, then he had us check on some guys about making this beer delivery and that we could find them downstairs.  They were dead, we reported in, hell they even asked us how we thought they died, I said lack of oxygen, my friend said Poison Gas.  In the end they gave us both a deagle and exp.  

They're Roleplaying skills were great, the quests at least interesting, wish they did it more often.  Overall it we enjoyed it alot, so no need to say all RPers should be made GMs because its not that bad, and that'll be the day SDK is released anyways.

Surf:
Glad you had fun. ;) We'll see if such stuff will become more popular.
But other then that, this has nothing to do with the topic here.
