i got you there, but I did it on purpose the other way around but we can change it every time
next pull request is coming soon. You might give it a try and tell me afterwards.
Ok I will try it and give you feedback. (should I use reverse psychology in future.. )

I hope not, once your next PR is in I am planning to set up the Macro Context Provider (MCP) for you (with a couple of example handlers) and then point you at the instructions for adding macros that I posted.
If I got it right you should find it easy and straightforward - that was my intention with the framework. If asking me every time and waiting for me to do it proves more convenient, then I failed. Hard. We shall see... I'm quite curious.

Then I look forward to use your system. But expect questions - I am a dummy
in terms of fixed dialog texts: there is already an ITextProvider interface that is used. so replacements for text.rsc file should be possible in theory. This mechanism should also allow for translations of these texts when we go for translations in the far future
in terms of quests: in the future quests will be able to generate rumors, topics (location, person, thing) and general "Tell Me About" entries like vanilla quests (vanilla just seldomly uses this stuff - but there exist quests that make use of it)
I hope your quests will heavily use these features once they are implemented. It should be possible to create quests that require using the talk window to find a key subject of the quest (e.g. look for a person of whom you know in which town he/she resides but you don't know exactly where initially).
there are some hardcoded elements right now like direction hints ("east", "northwest", etc.) - but we will eventually find a way to make this modable too
anyone out there who knows how classic links common (not special) npc billboards to faces?
factiondata has only the flat information how it seems, e.g. Fighter Questers has correct flat indices but face is -1 there.
does anyone know how to automatically resolve faces for common npcs (of course I can hard-code them but this would be tedious to do for all static npc flats...)?

I've not looked at this yet. One of the NPCs I was going to use as a good starting point was the jester in castle Daggerfall. He's so distinct in both flat and face form, there must be something mapping the flat/faction data to the face index.
If you're still stuck once I've smacked around some more bugs, I'll do what I can to help.

When I tested out the talk stuff a few days ago jsut on wandering NPCs I found that the faces were spot on appropriate from what I could see. Are you talking about static npcs indoors when you say common then?
but we can change it every time
