Hey, you’re on the right track. The trick isn’t to drop lore facts into every line, it’s to weave it in as a consequence of the world. Build small, reusable modules that can be triggered by a few conditions – like a player’s reputation, a quest flag, or the time of day – and let NPCs react. Use short, sensory snippets that hint at history instead of lecturing. Keep the dialogue script light, and reference past events only when the player’s actions make it relevant. That way the lore feels earned, not forced. Good luck, and remember to test with a fresh pair of ears to catch any clunky lines.

Just use a few clean patterns. One is the “if‑else” branch with a tiny set of lines per branch—keep each block under ten lines. Another is the template pattern: write a few placeholder tags, like <weather>, <event>, and replace them at runtime. Finally, lock the structure: start with a greeting, then a quick check on the player state, then the lore line, then a closing hook. This keeps the script short, and you can add or remove branches without breaking the flow. Good luck.

Glad that helped. Keep the hooks clean and the lore subtle, and you’ll see the world breathe. Good luck with the sprint.

Sounds like a solid plan. Just remember to test the hooks in a few different states—routines can hide subtle bugs. See you at the review, and keep the dialogue breathing.
