Good idea, Chris!

*Any opinion on the forum chosen name for her, Kathlyn Blackwell?

Eventually we’ll have a fancier system than that…Spore’s lookat system was really advanced, and I’ll do that at some point.

One question though: are you currently planning to make them look into each other’s eyes? Because that’s the one thing that looks unnatural to me – that they just stare in random directions. Would be a sublime touch to add!

With unique animations for each character this will suddenly take a lot more skill from the sniper to detect (I wonder, do they all last the same amount of time?). Plus, seeing as they aren’t all the same, it may make it slightly harder to tell if someone is talking in the first place (from a glance at least).
