Ugh, so much typing! I'm working on the NPC dialog at the moment, and I'm still in the "tutorial" section. Yes, the NPCs will chit-chat with you and give you random advice. Of course, each one only has so much advice to give, so you'll start hearing the same stuff over and over again. I'll try to think of more stuff for them to say, but really, no matter how much I make them say, you'll eventually reach the end of their repertoire. I'd like for you to be able to get a full tutorial out of them if you read all of their chit-chat, but I'm not sure if that would be a good idea. I know I personally like finding things out for myself, so I'm not sure if I should mix the chit-chat with the job. I was originally going to have it such that the NPC had a chance of offering a job; otherwise they'd just spout out some random stuff. However, you might hear something that you wanted to find out for yourself. But I don't know if I like the alternative: what if I give you a choice of job or chit-chat, and you never choose chit-chat? Maybe you'll never know that you can plant trees or something.

What do you guys think? Should I mix the chit-chat with the jobs, so you both cannot request a constant stream of jobs (I can control the flow of jobs) and have important information shoved under your nose, or should I give you a choice and perhaps make the game more vague?
