Some Clever Username Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Guys, just a general 'patience', and "this is going to take a while" reminder Why can't we just get excited, I don't care if I have to wait but I still want to talk about NPC's.

Daman453 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 So what happened above never happened, let'ts talk about NPC's! What do you think will happen when you will see a friend in need? Maybe we could do random personalty for the person playing, so when you see a friend in danger it could freeze in place for bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InMyRestlessDreamsISee Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 What I'm wondering about is how they're going to do conversations. I've read about the whole "emotions" style of doing(picking the type of tone) that were with the old NPCs but I honestly liked the "hotkey" idea that I saw suggested in a thread. It just sounds more natural to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So all NPC's out of range will be meta, and as you are close to them you are flesh and blood. And thus creatng a world of tense Meta and a new way of playing.

Blackthorne Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I am fine with NPC's not being released for a year or more, I would rather have them working perfectly then shooting their pistol when I told them to hide. Or act like Ian from Fallout and empty half a clip into your spine and make your innards become outards... or something like that. But yes, complete agreement with you here; there's so many variables that could be added to NPCs so an expecting a lot of iterations here. I wouldn't mind some kind of trade system with NPCs being available, but that may not be feasible.

Viceroy Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 A bartering system would be absolutely vital I'd say. The ability to trade something they want for something I want would be a major boon to NPC's in general and the usefulness of them. I don't really have any doubt that we'd be able to barter.
