I do like giving suggestions to mods

- Police Officers should act somewhat more calm (Eg: Telling their first zombie "Sir, is everything alright" or "Put your hands where I can see them!). It could also be cool that when a police officer character finds a radio they'll try calling in to their department.
- Adrenaline Junkies should talk excitedly when highly panicked, and also be excited when finding a gun.
- A characters dialogue should become slurred when drunk
- Nutritionists should get worried when losing or gaining weight rapidly, depending on their current weight
- Characters should react when gaining underweight, overweight etc.
- Fry Cooks wish they were paid more before all this
- Cowards should start becoming somewhat more confident as time passes
- It'd be cool to have some special dialogue if you manage to not kill any zombie at all from the start of the outbreak
- Eating a dead rat should yield a negative response from characters... except survivalists.

Some more suggestions:
- Reaction at the beginning of survival on Kingsmouth or in a Film studio (Such as "My vacation is ruined!", "I shouldn't filmed in a zombie movie!", etc).
- Character's reaction to a haircut or hair coloring.
- More references!
- Unique replicas if the character have a foreign name (Like "Лучше я бы остался у своей мамы в деревне" if the character has a Russian name, or "Warum habe ich zugestimmt, hierher zu ziehen?" if the character has a German name.)
- Compatible with some mods, like "Expanded Helicopter Events" (Reaction to the airdrop from a helicopter or to shooting from it), "Insurgent - Black Ops Profession" (Reaction to the picking the quest items or to the arrival in Louisville), "Simple Overhaul: Traits and Occupations" (Reaction to being Soldier, Grave Digger or Alergic) and etc.

use chatgpt for creating scripts that character would say, it would help you add thousands of
lines for any certain event which would add fantastic immersion and the moment when same lines would repeat every 10 minutes wouldn't bother players anymore

Desensetized should make your character never say anything panicked and always be a badass

Maybe (not sure if there is already but i haven't seen it) if there was a mean word they said after they kill a zombie when they're desensitized to make it seem badass

Regarding helicopter events
funnily enough this is already finished, you can find the text for it in the UI_EN file but I can't find a way to tell if helicopter event is active, it seems like the function for it is locked (and therefore cannot be used in modding) so sadly it wont work
Location Checking
Yea this is possible, would need to check player X and Y location and compare it to a list, definitely doable but could be annoying to make
TV and Radio
Not sure how to check if your character can see the text, and how to check what text is even shown. If I could then I'd prolly make for a few things.
Desentisized
I'll 100% add it later but for now it's not in my important list

Sounds great, thanks for this! :D looking very forward to future updates!

Here goes some sugestions:

"This is like a bad horror movie, but without the popcorn and comfy couch."
"I should have paid more attention to the zombie survival guide my friend gave me as a joke."
"I always knew the zombie apocalypse was a possibility, but I never thought it would actually happen."
"I feel like I'm on a scavenger hunt, but instead of a prize, it's survival."
"The city used to be a concrete jungle, but now it's more like a jungle of the undead."
"I hope my family and friends are okay, but I'm also kind of excited to show off my survival skills to them."
"Why are some zombies so fast? Did they drink too much zombie energy drink or something?"
"I never thought I'd have to run this much. I hope I'm getting some kind of zombie apocalypse workout."
"I'm starting to appreciate the taste of canned food. It's like a culinary adventure."
"I have to be careful not to get bitten, but at the same time, it would be kind of cool to be a zombie."
"I don't trust anyone, but that's okay because I always preferred being a lone wolf anyway."
"I keep forgetting that I can't just blast my music out loud anymore. It's like I'm on a silent disco."
"I miss the little things like hot showers and Netflix, but at least I don't have to worry about bills anymore."
"I never realized how much I relied on technology until I had to navigate the city with just a map and a compass."
"I wonder if there are other survivors out there. Maybe we could start a zombie apocalypse book club or something."
"The thought of turning into a zombie is scary, but at least I'd have an excuse for being a brainless zombie."
"I have to stay calm and collected, but it's hard when there are zombies everywhere trying to eat me."
"I'm so tired and sore, but at least I'm getting in shape. Maybe I'll finally get those abs I've always wanted."
"I don't know if there's a cure, but I hope it's not just some kind of zombie apocalypse marketing ploy."
"Zombies may be relentless, but they're also kind of hilarious. It's like they're doing a zombie flash mob."

netflix circa 1993
jokes besides those r good, might implement them in some shape or form

Reaching X zombie kills:
- 80-100 - "This has to have put a dent in the numbers!"
Cowards - "I-I think I can get used to this..."
- 500-750 - "Well, that's about the entirety of Rosewood dealt with... I assume. Time for other cities"
Cowards - "I swear they should be gone by now!"
- 2000-5000 - "I feel like I should have fully secured this place by now, why do I find more of them?!"
Cowards - "AWW MY GOD HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO DO THIS!?"

Finding bleach:
"... Not yet"
Cowards: "I don't know if I have the strength..."

Drinking bleach:
"Well, time to see what's on the other side... Better than becoming one of them"
Cowards: "Please don't hurt..."

Equipping a weapon before encountering your first zombie:
"Wait, why am I taking this? Oh right, cooking" (If has the Cook trait or Cook occupation)
"... I feel like something ain't right, better prepare myself"
"Oops, my habit is acting up again"
"This should help in the garden" (If has the Gardener trait)
"Trusty tool as always! Best to keep it on me" (If has the Handy trait)
"Just in case I have to beat some shmuck up"" (If has the Brawler trait)

When sprinting for a long enough time:
"I am the fastest man alive! *Huff* Because the others are dead!"
"You don't know how fast I really am! I'm fast as ♥♥♥♥ boy!"
"Try to catch me if you can! *Gulp* Oh dear I'm gonna be sick"
"Why am I running?! I CAN OUTWALK THESE ♥♥♥♥♥"
Cowards: "JUST STOP FOLLOWING ME. PLEASE!"

Taking copious amounts of any medicine in PZ:
"Oop, that will bite me in the ass later"
"Well the box said 2 tablets a day but I can take 10 of them right now as long as I don't take any later"
"This can't be good for me but I feel great!"
Cowards: "Please be the right amount... please be the right amount..."

Reaching 10% of total health (Aka terminal damage)
"UGH D-DEAR LORD THIS HURTS"
"Brave it... b-brave it..."
"AW FU-U-UuCK"
"He-eh, he--e... Joke's on m-m-me, ha-h...?"
Cowards: "I-IT HURTS...! It... hu-urts... so... mu-uch... mom... dad... Hel-L-L me-E-E-E! *painful crying*"

Reaching 1% of total health (Basically near death)
"... can't... hold on"
"s-shi-"
"not... not like-"
"...bye worl-l-d"

If I had to throw in my view, it would be that it may be better to toggle more jokey/light hearted comments (such as some suggested by others here) behind sandbox options or a trait, rather than implemented automatically, as it may be immersion breaking to people to casually crack jokes/light hearted comments during a very serious apocalypse

This is of ofc your mod so do what you think is best :D just my two cents

could have seperate jokey pack as optional install, with the basic speech version as standard.

also, maybe reactions to things you find, like tears of joy when you find some 'plonkies' (twinkes)
'oh man, i missed these so...damn..much...' when you eat them
complaining if you are eating a lot of beans. happiness when you find a stuffed toy or alcohol ect.

could swap the Netflix for just 'movie night' since we have vcr's so you just miss being able to go rent a movie from the video store.

Personality traits:

Traits that wouldn't have much impact since they would cost 0 points, and can only choose 1 personality trait. And unique exclusive dialogues.

[Comedian]: Will make joke/funny comments on certain situations.
[Negative]: Will complain about everything.
[Sarcastic]: Sarcastic comments on situations.
[Psychopatic]: Really weird comments on certain situations, even admitting on doing not so legal stuff.
[Nerd]: Will compare every situation to a movie scenario ''Just like the show!''.
[Squeamish]: Similar to cowardly, but they would complain about the smell, looks of zombies/corpses, and even food ''I'm going to vomit''.

Cracking jokes and light hearted comments might be a way of coping for some people during a traumatic event.
That said if I will do that it will be in a rare situation. One of them is no panic baseball bat attack on a zombie. Say, if you survived 5 months and killed hundreds if not thousands of zombies, then you won't take them seriously.

React to TV/radio if thats possible?
