It is also very nice to change between NPC-walls and closeups of the NPC (using several text events) and to combine NPC-walls with the from-behind views of the PCs (indicating who of the party is actually talking to the NPC).
That's a great idea. I think I will use something like that. So many possibilities are coming to mind that it's making me crazy that I can't work on DC projects now (not until December at the earliest I fear).
