Really glad you like the game.
It was our hope that you wouldn't have to grind. I tried to design the encounters so when taking a direct route to them you should be high enough level to overcome them. That makes me sad :-(
That banter can be triggered by high/low morale, high/low karma, low/high provisions, low money, illnesses or many other reasons. They are probably saying you are being cautious because your karma is high.
Straight from the code your ailments....
