I think Todd was trying to do something more specific, where a NPC would ask
you a pointed question, and you would have to answer it.  I'm not sure I want
NPC's locking me into conversation.

I think what you really want there, is the ability for an NPC to lock step
through a conversation, not just respond to various keywords in any order. 
This might not be very difficult, but fixing it so that if someone walks out in
the middle of the conversation might need to get covered.

That would probably be sufficient.
