First of all, I'm in love with this game and am quite eager to play the final version. I'm an old fan of the Fallout games (and similar titles, i.e. Arcanum and Planescape), so it's wonderful to have something scratch that old and hungry itch.
So, my suggestion is more of a concern for down the road in the game's development. A lot of the dialogue and text in the game have some pretty serious grammatical and spelling errors. Things like "your" instead of "you're," or just some run-on or unclear sentences. That's all fine now in the alpha and understandable with a one renaissance-man dev-team, but I would hate to see the game get anything less than the pristine reviews it'll deserve in the future for something so minor to the development as some misspellings. At the same time, this type of thing does go a long way to break illusion and immersion.
Depending on how much writing you have towards the end, you might not be able to feasibly go through all that over again. What I would suggest then, is that you open the dialog up at some point to a few members of the community that can help clean up some of the dialog after you've written it. And I'm sure you could find a few willing to help.
