Using the pattern
Context Dependent Reactions can most easily be made possible by having humans control Agents in games; this means that Game Masters and players that can perform Enactment of actions is the simplest design solution for the pattern but this puts requirements of present facilitators and/or willing players. Algorithmic Agents is an alternative to this but instead creates needs for development of algorithms to handle all possible or reasonable situations they are supposed to handle (see the article Meet The Guy Who Spent Seven Months Killing Everyone In Fallout 3[1] for examples of issues which can occur in games where players have large degrees of freedom on how they can play).
Context Dependent Dialogues is a specific subsection of actions that provide Context Dependent Reactions in dialogues.
