To let you all know, we are going to be using the Planescape: Torment style of writing. We had a little vote over it in the workroom and we got a majority decision that PST has the best writing style of them all, so that's what we are using. For an example in case you haven't played the game:
Bob: He lifts his glass in celebration of the event. "May all our days be as happy as this one!" *gulp* There. I'm sure you get the idea. Feel free to ask if you need more explaining.

Actually, it's a wonderful choice. I was working on some dialogues earlier today, and I remembered one of my favorite characteristics of PST writing style is the ability to initiate dialogue or to just walk away. Example(in WeiDU format, sorry):
IF ~NumTimesTalkedTo(0)~ THEN BEGIN 0 SAY ~This elf is crouched over the work table adjusting the string on a bow.~ IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~Tap him on the shoulder. "Hello there."~ IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~Leave him alone.~ Sorry, I couldn't think of another way to put that up. -------------------- And can we finally say that the bhaal spawn idea has had the final nail hammered in its coffin?
