Trying to convey in game, the feeling when someone is info dumping on you, and you are fucking hype to hear it.
Anyone got examples?
I met an arborist last week who "does oaks" and "dabbles in elms". And it was phenomenal listening to him. I asked ignorant questions like "I have always thought they are planting the trees too close together on nature strips" and he would come back with a story naming five more people from his community.

How do we get this interaction in a game, without a fuck tonne of text that no one will read?
Is it comics? Maybe it is comics?
