ARR is doing nothing different or better than any of those. It's an exact carbon copy of them.
Oh awesome! This is the first time I've had a mildly derisive retort directed at me on this forum! I'm excited! Okay here goes my response back! (This is me being passive-aggressive [this is me not minding that I am being passive-aggresive ((and this is me explaining myself too much))])

My idea of "force" in this instance (and this instance alone) is that you receive the dialogue after accepting the quest as opposed to prior to receiving the dialogue - the latter can be overlooked fairly easily by clicking the shiny "accept" button at the button of the tab but the former requires you to cycle through the dialogue. While yes, you don't have to read it (forgive my overuse of the italics), you are forced to interact with it (what I should have said in the first place, I agree) on some level. It is always up to the player whether or not they want to ignore dialogue given but considering you and others here on this forum (I presume) actually want to play and enjoy this game to its fullest, wouldn't it be somewhat odd for you and others here (I presume) to be skipping the dialogue?

In closing, yes, the capability is there, you are right. Your definition of the word is closer to the usual application of said word - so I understand if you felt the need to clarify this difference. I also understand that I don't always say it right the first time but now I have and that's okay.

Signing off!
