Many games offer you the chance to talk to other characters. Commonly this provides the sense of agency but doesn't actually impact the journey of a conversation. However, there are some games that react more to your choices of what to say and who to speak to.This Branching Conversation aspect of narrative games includes games that let you skip over important information if you don't choose a particular response. It also includes games that may not let you talk to certain other characters depending on how you responded in earlier conversations. This doesn't necessarily take you on a different path through the narrative, but does change how much of the story and characters you experience.
