Hi all. I'm working on my first mod, and I'm having a hard time figuring out how to make dialog. I've gotten far enough to make a quest for the dialog and make a few topics. Under each topic I placed a few responses, and I thought that they would play in order in game. That obviously doesn't happen.

I can't figure out how to make an NPC say multiple lines of dialog. Right now I have all of my topics in the topics tab, and each topic has multiple things I want the NPC to say. I'm thinking that the problem must be that I'm not telling the GECK I want all of the things to be said, but I don't know where to begin with that.

I also don't understand the difference between the Topic tab and the Conversation tab. They look almost entirely identical to me. And I don't understand how to use the dialog tree.

So what am I doing wrong? My end goal here is for the player to be able to click "How are you?" and for the NPC to go "I'm fine..." and then follow that with more dialog.

Thanks!
