Sonny, I Watched the Vault Bein' Built!

I stumbled across a location in Fallout 4 called the Covenant. At the entrance, the guy won't let you inside unless you pass a test. The test is, in fact, the infamous G.O.A.T. from Fallout 3!
How pleased I was to see the little reference to it, only to realize the glaring difference in dialogue. You see, previous Fallout's allowed you to have paragraphs to say to other characters in the game. This dialogue wheel gives you 4 choices that are usually one or two words and have little explanation regarding what you're going to say.
For example, the first question asked was:
"You are approached by a frenzied scientist, who yells, "I'm going to put my quantum harmonizer in your photonic resonance chamber!"
In Fallout 3, you were presented with this list of options to choose from:
1) "But doctor, wouldn't that cause a parabolic destabilization of the fission singularity?" - Science
2) "Yeah? Up yours too, buddy!" - Speech
3) Say nothing, grab a nearby pipe and hit the scientist in the head to knock him out. For all you knew, he was planning to blow up the vault. - Melee
4) Say nothing, but slip away before the scientist can continue his rant. - Sneak
In Fallout 4, you can only choose from these responses:
1) Science
2) Insult him
3) Knock him out
4) Sneak Out
