Recruitable Prisoners - with dialogue (pls read description)

Great idea for recruiting Savant but FCS is too confusing for me.
First of all, while I was tinkering around with FCS, i saw all of the work that goes into the dialogue programming, so i would like to send props for that.

So I came across the Skin Bandit headquarters today and was able to capture their demented Scorchlander leader, Dr. Savant. I tried bringing him back to recruit him but was unable to. While I was trying to figure out if I could create a mod to do it myself, I saw there was a dialogue event called Screaming Torture for when a character is in the Skin Peeler machine. It made me wonder if were possible to program the dialogue so that Skeletons were able to just recruit him from a jail cell, but other races would have to stick him in one of his torture devices in order to..... "coerce" him into joining the player's faction.

I feel like it would give the player a little bit of retribution if they have ever been put in one, and maybe it could serve as a path of redemption for Savant. Nothing changes the heart and mind like having your limbs torn off by your own implement of torture.


Either way... it all proved too complicated for me to figure out, but I felt like it was a pretty good idea if it were possible. Thanks for the great mod.
