<hr />I think you will be pleasantly surprised at the impact that passing parameters will have on the number of scripts for any conversation.<hr />Yep. Being able to pass in parameters will drastically cut down on the number of scripts you have to manage, because you can have the switch statement that the original poster desired.

This topic has been brought up before (on the old boards, if not here -- I can't remember). IMO, iron-man/restricted saving is something that players tend to hate because of real life intrusions (i.e. you have to go somewhere, there's a power outage, etc.). http://forums.bioware.com/_commonext/images/smiles/icon_mad.gif I don't know that you should hold your breath on this one.

That's correct. If you want all black and complete darkness, you should now be able to do that. http://forums.bioware.com/_commonext/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif
