I've hopefully covered two of these things in my projects, or thought about them -
You can skip through all dialogue at high-speed by holding down the menu button. Other events or actions aren't sped up, but I could add in the same check through eventing.
As for NPCs themselves, I want to do something like The World Ends With You. There's a whole mass of silhouetted people in crowds moving around populated areas, but only those detailed and standing in place can be talked to. These people would at least be useful to the player, perhaps. Or funny. NPC dialogue is hard.
