That point will be addressed with version 0.4. It'll have everything you
want plus a little more :).

Hm. What we want to do is making the game world convincing. Therefore,
NPCs do not exist for the player's amusement only. Instead they should
co-exist with the player and interact with each other and the player.
(Not much of that in Waste's Edge, but at least the basics are there.)

As such they shouldn't be nice and fall silent just because the player
is having a conversation.

As far as I am concerned, I don't want a world that is centered around
the player. That would be too superficial, I think. Too sterile.

Hope you'll have some patience then :). But we'll be getting there
eventually!

Please lets hear any thoughts you have. We don't get an awful lot of
feedback, so every bit is welcome :).

Cheers,
