There's a few distinct aspects of game writing that don't appear in any other form of traditional linear writing, one of which I want to talk about that I've very pretentiously taken to calling "Empathy Degradation"

I do a little thing with my dialogue where I store a key for each sequence and never repeat it again. Probably won't work so well if I ever make a town of NPCs and after talking to them enough they all go silent.

You say that, but it would be pretty amusing. 1st time in town: "Hey, welcome to <town name>" 2nd: "Oh, it's you! Welcome back!" 3rd: "Welcome back!" 4th: "Sup?" 5th: *nonverbal_greeting.anim* 6th: *silently ignores player*

Yeah that would be really cool ! The NPC saying that would seems perfectly natural, but maybe add a random greeting dialogue, or one that only shows up after a long time, y'know with an ingame timer...
