Ok, so, I know that this has been said many hundreds of times, and suggested in a few hundred different ways, but, I have an idea that could make NPC's much more exciting. First thing's first. I am aware that NPC's are not, have not, nor will ever be players. Just making that clear. However, it gets somewhat lonely in a Minecraft singleplayer world, even with the addition of this mod, so amazing and incredible, that no word in the english language can be used to sing it's highest praises. Speaking has a very limited, if not negated role in singleplayer Minecraft. So, with all this said, my suggestion is this. One can say certain things in the chat, and NPC's will respond in various ways. There would be a list of things that the player could say to garner certain responses, such as (in Middle-Earth speech, of course), "What is your opinion on the growing of the forces of Mordor?" To a Gondor soldier. (This is a lame example, but stick with me here) And the Gondor soldier would reply from a bank of responses written for that response. Also, if the player says something that the NPC does not recongnize, he would have a bank of things that he could say for such an event. "What happens when you are in a room full of soldiers?" one such reader may ask. Well, the player could adress the NPC by name, and only that NPC would reply. "Then how would the player know what the name of the NPC he/she is adressing," another faithful reader may wonder. There could be a way of finding the name of the NPC, such as name tags, as all NPC's are named, or another gui, like the compass of alignment bar, to tell you a name. In conclution, if this were an added feature, I would offer my servises to come up with banks of text for this suggestion. How do the admins, and the community, think?
