Uh, just a small thing here (in fact, you might not have to change it if you don't want to). In the chapter that you get Melanie, there's a village that you can visit in the center of the map where the guy will talk about Melanie, but if you visit the village with Melanie he doesn't say anything different (as if he were talking to someone who isn't Melanie). He was old, so I guess you could use the excuse that he has poor vision or something and it's at night. Also, I don't think the village closes when you're finished talking.
But yeah, that's what I have for now. Great hack so far, I'm on chapter 8 and I'm really enjoying it.
