Can NPC's do emotes? how hard would that be to implement? if everyone saluted when i got close it would be SO cool. i havent played any games that have done this but it seems like a no-brainer(i dont know anything about programming an npc)

Answering OUR emotes would be more complex, but wouldnt it feel amazing to be able to salute or fist bump your team? or maybe i just want officer Higham to hug me...
i think it could give npcs a lot of character depending on what emotes they do. like ship master Ankarberg salutes, but says "im busy, helldiver" if you try anything else. Service Tech Nazareno does them all, but says "hell yeah!" or "for liberty!" when you do high fives or chest bumps. Higham only gives firm handshakes or something

What do you think about this? is this a good idea? am i stupid for assuming this would be easy to do? Which emotes would you prefer from each NPC?
