This dialogue system really stood out to me being someone who plays a lot of mobile games that uses a similar structure.
It has a well-designed layout and comes with 3 templates that come in form of textures you can apply to the WBP.
It's pretty easy to setup probably 2-3 minutes or less per characterbp, even less if you have the property transfer tool. It's as simple as adding an interface, copying the sphere, some variables, a function, and a set of bp logic from the example character to yours. No referencing needed. You'd do this to your chosen character as well as whatever NPC you wish to be interactable.
The meat of the logic that you'll work with are just switch on int nodes and calling names from a datatable for each scene; especially if you want to make branching dialogues, it'll be handled through switch on int and name variables. You'll be entering info and text dialogue into the DTs. Make sure to use both the DT dialogue and DT dialogue anim otherwise newly added rows won't work. You either remove the dialogue anim logic or pair it with a same name row for both DTs so that the Anim data table knows which dialogue to pair with.
The DTs are separated by Dialogue and DialogueAnim as well as extra/optional DTs such as for icons, sequencers, text style, etc. The animation DT lets you choose the mesh and montage to play during a dialogue.
There are character thumbnails but they are collapsed by default. You can change it in the WBP, and there are also a set of empty branches you can use to enable to disable various elements of the UI.
You can change things up with non interactible dialogues as well. These are dialogues that trigger without engaging the player with another NPC. It can be used as a form of narration or the player talking to themselves. Its handled through a separate actor blueprint that is provided; simply overlap it and it will trigger the dialogue.
Controlling the dialogue can be handled by keys or gamepads! You can use the l symbol to separate parts of the dialogue so that your whole sentence isn't shown in one box. The player would have to press the key to get to the next part. That way you can add some emphasis on dialogue structure. The great thing about this logic being inside a characterBP is that its very easy to just create your own events that trigger within the dialogue.
One last thing is that cute mascot character named Cobaye which meand guinea pig in french! Surprisingly, it can be retargeted. Would make for an adorable little companion, game host, punching bag, cute but deadly boss or whichever you choose. Overall its a great asset, and just as familiar as I am with the layout and design of this, I'm also familiar with how it handles within the characterBPs, so its a perfect fit for me!
I had a small issue and upon emailing the seller, they responded fairly quickly and helped me through my problem!! Thanks again for your help.

This was not hard to setup but the main reason why am writing a review is because i was impressed by how good the documentation is, even if the English isn't perfect.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Works Well

Works well as a simple dialogue system with a sort of JRPG feel to it. Found some of the documentation a little bit confusing but the developer was quick to respond to my questions and they've since made some updates to the documentation.
