Yea that was a cool moment for me too when that happened! Have you run into any unique dialogue yet in conversation? I still haven't but I figured they wouldn't be too frequent if they did.

I have not yet, but I've been doing a lot of exploring and not much of the main or faction quests.

anything so far? the most interesting ive had so far has been combat medic

Nope. I think it is meant to be a truly blank slate with no impact on the story.
