Dialogue Wheel

A dialogue wheel (or conversation wheel) is a user interface element that presents dialogue options to players in a circular format. Originally popularized by games like Mass Effect and Dragon Age, dialogue wheels have become a staple in modern RPGs and interactive narrative experiences.

Dialogue wheels offer several advantages over traditional list-based dialogue systems: • Spatial organization: Options are arranged in a circle, grouping similar response types in consistent positions • Intuitive navigation: Players can quickly identify and select their desired tone or approach • Visual clarity: Color coding and positioning help convey the intent behind dialogue choices • Immersion: Less intrusive than text lists, maintaining the flow of conversation

Dialogue wheels are primarily used in: • Role-playing games: For player-NPC interactions with emotional or tonal choices • Interactive storytelling applications: To offer readers/users multiple ways to progress through narrative • Visual novels: For character interaction and branching storylines • Training simulators: In scenarios requiring various conversational approaches • Educational software: For dialogue-based learning experiences
