I know how to spawn in creatures using scripts. Mostly I do this to spawn in monsters to attack.
But is it possible to spawn in NPCs using scripts, and have them use a specific conversation that you specified beforehand? This way it saves on the number of creatures on the palette.
I think I have seen people hint at this, but can't seem to find it.

It is possible yes. One way to do it would be to alter the default OnConversation script (such as nw_c2_default4). The trade off is that you will probably end up with a large convoluted script.
You'd have to do quite a bit of checks to make sure the right NPC uses the right conversation.
e.g. you have one npc in one area you could do:
if (GetTag(OBJECT_SELF) == "NPC1" && GetArea(OBJECT_SELF) == GetObjectByTag("Area51"))
{
ClearAllActions(TRUE);
BeginConversation("con res ref here");
}
But you could run into some problems. If you had 2 generic NPCs in the same area with the same tags then you'd have to add further checks like if they were closest to a particular object or something.
So this is just one way off the top of my head. Hope it helps and good luck.
