I miss the expression wheel too.
I miss having that little timing bar, no matter how mundane it looked. It required a slight finesse to pull off a perfect emote, but the reaction was always decent. Now, you can pull off a perfect emote with ease, and it's no good thing (IMO).
I also hate having to dance with a bloke and kiss his hand afterward just to make friends with him. I'm not homophobic or anything, but what sort of Hero goes around kissing blokes hands?
Having to hold everyones hand to take them places? We should be able to just walk with our arms round their shoulders, and lead them to wherever. At least it would neutralise that annoying effect, where their hand isn't even holding yours.
Don't even get me started on the fetch quests. I was fine with taking people on dates, but travelling across Albion to pick up someones 'secret item'? Sirrius black?
So yes, I think it should be brought back. And the timing bar. I wanna be able to shake someones hands to make friends, not play pat-a-cake and hug them.
