Examples of complicated dialogue trees?

[sser]

I need to see an example of a complicated dialogue tree's organization on a chart/graph -- for example, let's say you have 5-answers at the start of the 'questioning', but a few of those answers need to always be available to choose even if you go down a different path, if that makes sense. How would that best be organized on a graph?

Like so

Would this send you running for the hills in terms of organization,

Lines at straight angles - inferior to splines, cause they can completely overlap. AND they're difficult to follow. And I can't intuitively understand what goes where.

Yeah it's a huge mess. I shall revise.

Revised. Slowly getting the hang of it. Trial version has a 60-item use hard cap that I had to work around.
