Moods & Emotions

The player sets the mood of their character. When interacting with other characters they will produce different emotional responses to your mood. The conversation path will vary widely based on this system.

This will have the effect of unlocking many events. Examples would be getting a Date with a girl by treating her emotions in a way she likes.
