NPC dialog animations

i've noticed a lot of animations - mostly in marlybone - that have been added to various NPCs.

While this is good, makes the game more alive, unfortunately they all only have one animation - and if there's a lot of dialog they repeat that animation over and over and over to the point of annoyance.

And most of them don't as yet have facial expressions and don't open their mouths when they talk

Would it be possible to have a number of animations that could be randomly chooses from during dialog and add in facial expressions? i'm guessing that it would require recreating the heads and adding more rigging to make it possible for them to open their mouths and speak, but at least they could open and shut their eyes, wink, and so on - and to make those also a list of various expressions that could be randomly chosen during dialog?
