I know how to use them and in this case it's just the one part, showing hesitation. I suppose I could edit some out and use em-dashes instead, but ellipses give the illusion of staggered speech a lot better.
Also, those 'hide until certain date/make private' check boxes need major checking since no one is supposed to be able to even see this stuff yet. :/

I prefer hashes to dots, but hey, it's your game! And it's probably not even that big of deal to others. :)

I'd personally suggest sticking with the ellipses - em-dashes don't work as well in dialogue outside of compounding words when you're using multiples in a single 'sentence.' They work best if there's only a single one, at the end of the statement. It's not so much a stylistic thing as a visual thing at that point though.
Eh, I just reworked the dialogue a bit to make it flow better. Still kept some ellipses in this part, though, since she's very hesitant about what she's taking... The corpses femur for a weapon~
You could always cut your ellipses at the end of words down to two dots instead of three.. < like that. I know it's not so grammatically nice but it cuts down on the amount of punctuation and gives your words a bit more flavour.
Or you could show her hesitation through interjections (um, ah.. er..) or stuttering "I s-suppose.." though I'm not sure that wouldn't make her sound just a bit too timid instead of the desired effect. D:
Either way, realistic character development for the awesome. And your maps with those shiny crystals are HNNGG.
