Dialogue system with scriptable objects
Another option if you don't want to implement it yourself though is to use an already built library. I've been playing with YarnSpinner a little bit recently and I'm liking it so far. I can't give much more details than that, but it's maybe worth a look. At least for some reference.

How to make a Visual Novel 2D and 3D Hybrid, solo?
I am currently working on a 3d Unity game that uses a classic visual novel interface for conversations with NPCs. I am using Yarnspinner for the VN parts. It's a very powerful and flexible middleware that allows you to write your dialogue trees in a very simple domain-specific language.

How to allow replies in dialogue system (unity + C#)
After writing several own dialogue solutions, I decided to use Yarnspinner as a dialogue scripting solution for my latest project. It's really powerful, flexible and easy to use. I see no reason why I would ever want to invent my own again. It comes with a sample dialogue UI, but the website has a guide for how to create your own.

Game dev as a person who enjoys writing stories?
Find ways to tell those stories without complex mechanics. Visual novels and text adventures are a great example. If you have a budget, hire a good artist and maybe look into voice over actors. If you're short on budget, look into AI to generate images and even to do voice over. As for tools you have Twine, Ink and YarnSpinner, to name s few and, in terms of game engine, don't lose too much time picking one. Whether is Unity, Unreal, GameMaker, Phaser, Pygame or just HTML with vanilla JS, go with whatever makes you feel comfortable and requires the lowest amount of effort for you to start doing something.

Ink 1.0 β open-source scripting language for interactive narrative
There are two types of chatbots -- unreliable freeform ones (e.g. GPT-3) and reliable script-based ones (e.g. Alexa). I believe that what you're looking to do (dynamic rewriting) is moreso an active research topic!
The script-based chatbots are very similar to those in the 80s, with one major addition -- the options at each choice point are now "intents" instead of exact text (e.g. "the user intends to order a taxi"). Machine learning is then used to classify whatever the user says/writes as an "intent," then the script is followed to the next choice point.
See this open-source project for an example of using Ink to drive a script-based chatbot similar to Alexa: https://github.com/rabidgremlin/Mutters
