Unity Dialogue System - Saving the Graph

In this video we're going to be saving our Graph Data as well as our Dialogues Data into their respective Scriptable Objects.

One will be used to to load and save the Graph (Graph Data) and the other one will be used to show dialogues in-game as well as make our custom inspector in the future (Dialogues Data).

Due to there existing a limit of characters in the description and the Timestamps taking a lot of those characters (due to the video being this long), I've added the links in a pastebin file.
