What are some ways to go about creating dialogue trees? I'm working on a "Choose Your Own Adventure" gameplay aspect.

So far, I've created a prototype that utilizes a list for the branching. Each item in the list contains a multiple strings and a corresponding index number. Player selects a string and gets forwarded to that index in the list. Each list item contains all the possible strings for all the dialogue options, so it's kind of repetitive at times, but... that's what I've come up with.

Any ideas about other ways to go about dialogue trees?

It might be worth adding a restriction to prevent the same line from being used twice in one "conversation".

If I was doing this, I'd think about each conversation fragment, and create a struct for those with the following properties:
