I see Xanax in this game. Why not Viagra? Aren’t there a lot of health benefits to Viagra?

And on the note of Viagra, why not other birth control? They might help with mood swings for male characters… just sayin’.

There should be a mind-reading trait. It would add thoughts to creature descriptions.  
The zeds are all looking for loot and expee.  
The mycus are all, like, crazy cultists or something, hunting biomass to sacrifice to the cause and praising the fungal spires or some such. Sometimes more advanced fungus are waiting for a deep child…  
Giant ants are just constantly gossiping about each other.  
N.P.C.s are always trying to come up with good names for the vehicle that they plan to build.  
Trifids generally have heavy metal earworms that are too loud to hear more than a scrap here-and-there about condiments.  
Spiders just want to play, and are annoyed that all their toys break.  
The wildlife is running a betting pool on which cataclysm wins. Some of them discuss hitching a ride with the dolphins.  
Giant worms are usually arguing about economic theory.

Yes.  
…  
N.P.C.s should only provide technically correct but practically unhelpful answers.  
With reference to the giant ants, I want to use the term “valley girl” though I am not really familiar with it…

A re-enactment of the U.S. presidential election brought into the game to the refugee center where a new local leader is being elected. Both candidates task the player to find dirt on the other candidate. The player is not allowed to stay out of it. A forced event will eventually involve the player if he doesn’t visit the refugee center earlier. The candidates are named Monica Blewinsky and Manthony Wiener.

Even better, a diarrhea simulator, where you have to shit constantly, and suffer a morale penalty until you find a tube of Preparation H. You have to apply it after each messy watery dump and hope you find meds to stop the diarrhea before you run out.
