I've been finding a little time to do micro PRs with just a bit of small talk for NPCs I write. Having been out of commission for months, it feels good. I've added a little small talk for Jenny Forcette, Uyen Tran, and Mandeep Singh in the refugee centre.

If there's an NPC, particularly in the refugee center but I'm open to other suggestions, who you would love to get a little more characterization and dialogue, feel free to suggest. Or, if there's a short-answer question you'd like to ask a particular NPC, let me know. In my next pass I am going to try to add a bit of dialogue where you can ask Rubik about where they came from, for example.

I'd kind of like to know how the mutants in the center got to become mutated, especially since the lore behind mutation has become more defined over the years of development, if not changed completely. Did they escape a research facility? Did extradimensional screwery or radiation change them in the early days (is that even still a thing?) Right now the arsonist is just a quirky catgirl that is...there, and the beggar with fur is understandably grumpy about it with not a lot of further development, at least last I saw.

They probably wouldn't be forthcoming with that information with strangers, so perhaps gate it behind their quests. Something beyond just dialogue, but maybe they would want to seek out how to change back to human, or how to become further mutated. Maybe you could sway them one way or another with social checks.

I'm generally trying to avoid things that would require quests and skill checks and things, although at least a bit of that stuff could be available up front.

Haha checkout Makayla's (the refugee center arsonist) character page, you might need the debug menu for this.
