NPCs & Enemies More NPC quotes

Lyra

I really like NPCs with a lot of quotes; it makes them feel more alive, especially if they have a lot of context-specific ones. Fairly simple suggestion: add more quotes to the NPCs. Have the merchant complain about the Tax Collector's rates. The nurse can remark on how she's never seen anybody with more bruises than the angler. The dryad can get angry at you if you're wearing corruption-related accessories or armor, or thank you if 60% of her house is made out of living wood blocks, or maybe give you a rant the first time you talk to her after enabling hardmode. The Mechanic and Steampunker should argue over whether gears and mechanical energy are better than wires and electricity. The guide might mention that he feels expendable if you've killed him lately.

Little things like this make the world feel just a bit more alive, and in my opinion the more variety the better, especially when quotes are so easy to come up with and write compared to other, bigger things.
