It's been a while, but yes I think it picks a default option or the currently selected one
I seem to remember there was a skill you could invest points into that would increase the conversation timer also.
Right. The "wait to remain silent" thing can take some getting used to, especially in the sort of game where you feel like your character would have a lot of questions, but I much prefer it to a default choice being made. I recently replayed one of Telltale's games and I really enjoyed the way I could use silence as a tool. The game was The Wolf Among Us, where you play a detective who interrogates people a lot, and I used the time-honored interrogation technique of just remaining silent to make someone talk more.
