    Young girl and young boy conversationalists.

    The use I personally have in mind is a child that tells the player to visit their parents in their shop, or a child in a shop with his parents that helps players on a quest.

    Players could also theoretically do a "lost child" quest.

    Back when Elgarion was putting all the various conversationalists in game we asked for children. We were told that Sannio had 'reserved' child conversationalist to be put in at a later time, possibly as a quest reward. I'm not sure if the conversationalist themselves was supposed to be a reward or a recipe for it like we have crafted beggar ones. But I do very much hope that there is still a plan for them to be put in game!

    If thats the case I hope they have it on their schedule. Its something a lot of players probably want to put to use.

    We also need many other conversationalists. Elgarion stated it was easier to mass produce them.
    • Bandits and Pirates in various outfit styles.
    • the new undead (added to the game roughly a year ago)
    • Jester
    • young giant???
    As well as the various founder servants optional conversion to conversationalists,

    Up until now we were holding off on adding more Conversationalists due to the "wander" bug. I believe that DC has sorted that issue out now, and with that, I think we can look at adding more variations.

    On the topic of Children Conversationalists; this has been discussed and we do not plan to add any player facing (conversationalist) Children NPCs into the game at this time. @Jakkal's suggestions are great! I'm making notes :)

    What about the baby in a mothers arms.

    If a baby has realm domination and just happens to be a deamon hellspawn and talk perfect english, then hey... who's judging?
