I haven't played TES5, but according to the youtube videos, you seem to be able to enter and exit dialogs without pausing the game. You can move around during the conversation and the NPCs will go on with whatever they're doing (cooking, lumbering, smithing, etcetera etcetera) while talking.
This "laissez faire" (I'll gladly take the opportunity to name this feature if it doesn't already have a term) system seems like a much better way of handling dialog than the way games have done so far.
It also seems cheaper I think, since you don't have to make animations for each dialog sequence which tend to get repetitive after a while.
Despite the fact that Skyrim's writing is mostly embarrassing, could this be the best dialog system to this day? And one that all games should follow from now on?
