Creation Kit writing dialogue response texts: player dialogue choice menu appears prematurely.

[Nuascura]

I've noticed that, sometimes, if a dialogue topic has multiple response texts, the player dialogue choice menu will appear before the NPC finishes going through all of their lines. Has anyone had this issue before?

 

I've noticed it in Body Search mod and in an unrelated patch I'm working on. A workaround is to make the dialogue topic transition to another topic for each would've-been response text. However, this is an inefficient method while Skyrim's own dialogue exhibits no issue with multiple response texts within one topic.

Ok I've found the reason.

 

Player dialogue menu will always open up immediately if it is in response to the first dialogue topic of a conversation. In subsequent dialogue topics that have multiple response texts, player dialogue menu won't open prematurely.
