Do people not understand? The Longest Journey has an ESRB rating of mature for foul language and adult conversations.
This is a game for Grown-Up's, for people that liked "Star Trek The Next Generation" more than "24", this is for people that read history books rather than pulp novels!
Exposition is the key: By having these conversations you understand characters and the game world in a deeper way. This way, when something happens to certain characters or the world they live in, it mean more to the player.
How do you have empathy for someone you don't know, versus someone you know as a good friend and nice person?! It is these conversations that immerse you in the characters and game world so that as the story takes place, it has more impact on you than it otherwise would.
It is those gamers that have taken the time to conduct those conversations, read the books, listen to the exposition, that have taken this game to their hearts.
If you can't do this, you can still enjoy the game, but you will never see it as special like those that took he time to be "involved" in the story and the characters.
