NPCData.pak
Dialog, topics of conversation and their answers.
Offsets 0 to 1,112: table of contents for code part of dialog
Offsets 1,296 to 2,392: table of contents for text strings part of dialog
Offsets 2,576 to 3,672: table of contents for keywords part of dialog

Offsets 3,848 to 7,171: table of contents for a list of text strings that immediately follows next.
Offsets 7,172 to 13,920: table of contents for text strings part of dialog

Gaps between various sections above is due to the file having provision for 160 speaking NPCs but only using 137 of those slots.
(The list of NPCs is found in D6NPC.dat.)

In the three sections below, each record is assigned to an individual NPC:
Offsets 13,921 to 104,911: code part of dialog
Offsets 104,912 to 343,367: text strings part of dialog
Offsets 343,368 to 365,938: keywords part of dialog
EOF

Some of the dialog is interesting, there are two versions of the Spirit of Nivius, the second one has only this to say:
"You have violated the Sacred Oath of the Mavin!..Once again, the one who has taken the Blade has been consumed by its terrible wrath...
Alas, the Watchers must await another Champion..."
