I was so used to doing story instances by myself when I play that I overlook one particular flaw with instances in general, which is made apparent in the recent Living Story episode. The party members cannot interact with anything that isn’t an enemy. In the Durmand Priory library, it seems that while you can see the books available for reading, no one but the party leader himself/herself can actually read them. I suggest giving the members capability of reading or interacting with various objects within the instance but at the same time, keep the interactions between the leader and a vital NPC intact in that only the leader can progress the conversation further.
FOR SKYRIM!!!!!
