    See, that’s what’s weird to me. I thought the dialogue was terrible, but the voice actors were doing their best (and were good). Sort of the same thing as the dialogue in star wars 2&3 making hayden seem like a terrible actor, when he was quite good if given a better script.

      I think if you examine the quality of the dialogue itself — yes it was rather boring. However, the reactive aspect was neat — a character remembering the thing you last said and using it to justify their position is good. Even if that position ends up being boring due to poor writing, it seems more dynamic and real — cuz people typically remember what you say.
