The zombie apoconips?
OH GOD, THEY'RE GOING TO BITE MY APOCO-NIPS!

Project Zomboid? a survival game where not only do you need to take care of all human needs (besides bladder), but now, you will have to manage an army, it will become the most awesome RTS EVAH

Add charismatic-perk and i'll lead Woodbury to victory! XD and secretly enjoy my collection of heads in an aquarium muhaha...
I kinda expect some kind of trust/loyalty mechanism or similar which defines how you can interact with npcs. Do missions for them etc...

I don't like the idea, I mean, some shadowy guy, who comes out of nowhere, and worships zombies, and gives you quests to sacrifice other people? sounds more like a crappy movie, with a supernatural villain.

And no one said not nintendo

This as already been mentioned, but not the ceremonies, I actually find that a good idea!
But, if they do add that, then I'l be wasting a lot of planks, A LOT, considering that I'm... well, me.

Look out, he might have a shotgun hiding in his ass-tardis.

I'm new here but I've played the game for awile and I've read disscussions on the thread. Nobody seems to have thought about this and I'd love to see it in game.
 
Burials/Burnings
When NPC's are out, I'd love to see something about how the group(and your charater) will feel. What if...
When an NPC survivor dies, and you have the body, you can bury them. In the game, we will be able to burn corpses of zombies so when survivors are added we should be able to do that to their body's too.  
For a burial, we can dig a hole in the ground (like with farming) and if we have the body in our inventory, we can put the body in the hole as a sort of grave.  
Then, for a headstone, you could get a plank or something to put by the grave. If it's wood, you could carve in a few words for your fellow survivor. Example, "R.I.P. Billy Bob You were a jerk" or whatever you want really.  
For burnings, you will hold a ceromony and burn the body there. I'll talk about ceromonies in a bit.  
These can help other survivors move on depending on personality. Ceromonies
If you are in a group, you can hold a ceromony for the dead survivor. You and your group would go and say some kind words about the dead victim at a the grave or before you burn the corpse.  
At the ceromony, survivors can talk about the fallen, depending on their relationship with them and events that took place even (That's a stretch) they will say different things. Example, Survivor 1 hated Billy Bob so he says "Can't say I'll miss him." or something while Survivor 2 loved Billy Bob and says stuff like "He saved my life, he will be missed" Wishes
Another interesting feature would be that some charaters will want to be buried or burned in death. You could come across this in conversations and stuff or a survivor might be in a graveyard and say "I'd hate to be buried in a cold dark coffin." And you may remeber that if you want to bury them and decide to burn them instead.  
This would depend on personality and maybe if the survivor has a certain religion. Wrap Up
Overall, I think this would be a great feature for role playing in a group. You could have a small (or large) graveyard at your base of fallen survivors. This would add some depth to charaters and I think it would be great.
 
This could be added after survivors have been released too.
 
Note: All these options to do with the dead would all be optional (You may just want to leave the bodies where they are or you might not even have recovered the body... Who knows?)
 

I forgive you, but just because you have kenny's picture

I completely forgot about fallout.

That is probably the best part of having a companion

I didn't see this anywhere else, so I decided to make a topic about what people think about NPCs, just to natter about it, see what you are most excited of about them, and so on.
I personally am so excited about them, and the only way to calm myself down is talking about my hype in the forums
 
So please, have a seat, grab a beer, and shoot that zomboid's brains out, while chatting with other survivors about the other less important bastards that you will probably throw down a cliff, just for the heck of it.
 
Update Note: I've been searching around, and apparently the 2.0R 2.5 version of the game has ( Not very good) NPCs, here's the link:  https://www.dropbox....Zomboid_RC2.exe
 
The version was found here: http://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php/topic/2064-older-versions/
 
Note that you might need to have the desura version for this to work.

Just because you're dead, doesn't mean you can't look good!

It's time

Worms can't save you now, can they?

I think they might add that. MIGHT.
