Reactable Quips provides a table-driven conversation system for NPCs that allows a mixture of traditional ask/tell and menu-based systems. The intended model is that under normal circumstances, the player character may initiate conversation by asking or telling an NPC about a topic. That NPC will then respond. However, NPCs may occasionally say or do things that demand or imply some kind of reaction from the PC -- the player must then choose some option off a menu to characterize the reaction.

Regardless of the intended model, it is quite possible to use the extension to implement a pure ask/tell system.
