What this thread is for is generic dialog for people to say. You have no idea how much time this will save me for towns people. Here's how this will go.
Gender: Male
Topic: The town/their job/their family/ you
Dialog: *text goes here*
By all means have fun with this.

Topic: NPC banter.
Dialogue:
*talking to the NPC for the first time*
Are you talking to me? Why? Do you make a habit of going up to random people and starting conversations out of the blue?
Yeah, I'm willing to bet you're one of those guys who talks to people at random with the hopes that he'll meet someone with a personality deeper than a water puddle. You're one of those guys who hopes he'll end up meeting someone who's dialogue actually changes over time. Well, I'm not that guy. But I could be that guy if I used Old Spice scented body wash for men!
Well, too bad. I'm not the NPC you're looking for. None of these louts are. Sure, some of them might hand out potions and ethers, but they're still robots who do nothing but stand in the same spot day after day.
Rather than boring yourself to death with pointless NPC banter and shallow side-quests, you should be doing stuff that's actually worth doing. Read a book, or do your homework. Or better yet, continue on with the main freaking quest. So, what're you gonna do? You gonna keep talking to me, or do something of actual relevance to the plot of the game?
*Player talks to the NPC a second time*
You really are hopeless, aren't you? You know what? Fine. Be a dork. Take this Ballista and give it to a cannoneer. But remember that you got it by talking to some random boring sprite-clone schmuck off the street. There. Now stop reading generic NPC text and get going.
*Player talks to the NPC a third, fourth, fifth, sixth seventh, eighth, and ninth time*
Generic text!
*Player talks to the NPC a tenth time.*
UGH!!! Why are you still talking to me? Do something else! ANYTHING else!! Just quit wasting your life talking to people you'll forget about a half hour later! You know what? Go [NPC mentions how to start a lengthy and rewarding side-quest. The description of how to start it implies that the player has to do certain unorthodox and strange things that a normal player would never otherwise do on his/her first run of the game.] There. That should be worth your time. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to kill myself so you can't bother me ever again. Don't worry, it won't effect your morality/karma/whatever.
*the NPC then explodes, leaving behind any trace of his existence.*
