Is there an easier way to create dialogue?

AKrugBier

Hello,
what is the easiest way to create new dialogue or modify dialogue (new responses, new triggers to certain situations, new npc reactions) for NPC's? I am currently using NearInfinity, but it takes ages to do so (since it's not really user friendly when it comes to editing dialogue files).

Any other programs out there that can easily speed up the process?

You must learn the ways of WeiDU, if you are to come with me to Alderaan create new dialogues.

Near Infinity is a terrible way to write dialogue. You're much better off opening Notepad (use Notepad++) and typing down the code yourself. Once you understand the basic format everything is copy and paste.
