Additional Player NPC aggression inky path

We are getting closer to the ability for players to build a complete story driven quest system

Currently we have Actors of many types thanks to @Elgarion and team, which can help bring our stories to life.
One idea based on @Chris stream where he mentioned having a mob spawn based on a condition / event got me thinking why could we not have a mechanic that would allow our NPC to chance stance from a neutral to aggressive based on conversational paths. this would open up options to allow despawn of the npc character for X minutes and in its place a mob of same type with hp, focus would appear with same name (think Samuel Quests) that than would proceed to attack and create scenarios where there could be a brawl at a bar for example, or you do something wrong and they npc does not like you any more.

Next we look at linking your npc's into groups. Have option for you to set a group number in a property right click menu. This than opens up the ability to add variables that could be used like group number to change flags across your npc's for conversational logic pathing. So when one mob in group 1 turn aggressive this two friends who were sitting over there flagged aggressive as well.

This is an easy system and with ability for inky to pass variables we could use special assigned commands that allow us to change states / flags through inky's logic.

There are a lot of options this could open up.

I also think it could be neat to be able to equip your Npc's with outfits like the Mannequin to further open up possibilities.

As to level of creatures that would be something perhaps that requires leveling up your npc somehow . maybe a slot where you create totems for them as well?

The systems for all of this are already in game which would make this concept do able I think?

thoughts?
