I want to be able to change who the player talks to and receives a response from using an event.

How do I do this both before and after the NPC2NPC Manager has been created?

I have 2 characters standing in front of the player, but the wrong character responds by default, and I want to give the player control over who they converse with.

Hi <@191760948002947073>, there could be multiple ways to do so, one way is to override the T key such that it talks to the chatbot component of your choosing, another way is if you want to talk to the current talker or listner in the NPC2NPC conversation you can use the functions Get Current Talker or Get Current Listener to talk to
