PC: It's a nice day out.
NPC: Yes, it is.
as opposed to
NPC: It's a nice day out
PC1: Yes, it is.
PC2: No, it isn't.
PC3: Piss off.
You don't want to do much, if any, of the former because it's important for the player to be able to choose what his/her character says in any given situation.
Oh. Well yeah I think that would be common sense for anyone creating a mod. Right now the PC has three options. To pick a side, Harry or Sue or to stay out of it.
And I'll just stick to EXTERN because I don't want to force them to say anything, and this way I can end the argument on either Harry or Sue before going back to the PC. I don't want my mod to look one-sided, so I think this will give me the most flexibility.
