Ambient dialogue

Hi, regarding this, that definition is a very outdated one. A more accurate definition would be 'triggers without player input', I think; we've listed single-NPC dialogue that triggers without player interaction as ambient dialogue since at least 2015 (see here, here, and here for examples of single-NPC ambient dialogue). Greet dialogue is dialogue that triggers by pressing the Interact key to interact with an NPC, not dialogue that features the NPC greeting you. It might also be just a bit impractical if we listed single-NPC ambient dialogue on the NPC's page; with something like Priory Scholars or Whispers Agents, that section would be just a tad bit long. IMO, it makes more sense to keep the single-NPC ambient dialogue on the location page since it works identically to other types of ambient dialogue. Sunlion (talk) 00:20, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

I'm not sure what would be the best way, but I'll continue editing according to the page formatting guidelines if possible. If the guidelines can't be changed, they should be removed. Kumiponi (talk) 09:32, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

Updated the formatting page to describe it more accurately as "spoken dialogue that triggers out in the world without requiring player interaction" with Kvothe's approval on the discord. Sunlion (talk) 10:43, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! Kumiponi (talk) 11:00, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

Oh right, since I forgot to mention it: do you want to move the Foggy Air dialogue back to the area page's ambient dialogue, or should I? Sunlion (talk) 11:19, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

Done. Kumiponi (talk) 22:44, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
