Do NPC's base your appearance off of the portrait, or can you write in your own description somewhere? Is it possible to upload your own portraits? I want to play the snake, but not look androgynous.

Also I've been having difficulty with the inventory system.  Selling items to NPC's doesn't seem to work. And when I ask an NPC to list my inventory, they tell me a list of items wildly different from what I see in the UI. Especially Aldric, he'll often make up items, say he's put them in my inventory, or say he's buying my items and give me money, but nothing changes in my actual inventory. He'll also tell me crazy stuff like "Oh no, you really have that item, just check your character sheet by typing /char in chat!" And then when I type /char in chat the only text is just aldric going "Yup, see, right there, it's on your character sheet."

Edit: It turns out I was trying to do all my trade transactions through chat dialogue instead of the trade window. I left notes of my original problem just because it was funny and maybe something the dev might want to explore, tweak, or laugh at? But yeah, trading works now if actually using the proper interface. Although, this is frustrating in it's own right because the shopkeepers are never in their damn shops.

They're based off of descriptions. I've been thinking about having a system for adding custom player characters, so I might add that with the next update.

That's called a "hallucination" and it's an unsolved problem with current LLM technology. Unless the NPC is opening the trade menu for you or straight up gifting you an item, which they can do (but sometimes fail to do), they're hallucinating and making things up.

Could you maybe make shopkeepers hang out in their store more during hours? I can NEVER actually trade with shopkeepers proper, because they only hang out in their shop for an hour or two, then leave.
