+Dialogs are conversations that take place between the current character & the character whose dialog you start. Personally I do not like to use the dialog system myself because I do not find the current system very flexible in terms of what could potentially be done during dialog conversations, such as: controlling the character animations, executing various action parts, or multi-way conversations between a group of people.
