[devPLEASE] Dynamic World - If Ever You Do Something - Do This!

[Kowen]

if the dialogue is 'voice acted in real time', explain to me how the content is dynamic. are the voice actors sitting there in studio, drinking coffee and eating donut holes, just WAITING for the conclusion of the event so they can act it out live, just for you and a handful of other players?

sounds more like a bunch of stuff was planned and finished ahead of time, thrown in a pot, and a random number generator pulls out those finished bits to piece together into a 'dynamic' event.

seriously. think about it.

By "real time," I meant that the process of the NPCs rebuilding the wall happened realistically. It's immersive and actually makes it feel like the world is changing. Of course every outcome is pre-planned, but every game is like that, even the Elder Scrolls games. It's just about having enough outcomes and enough "fluff" (the dialogue, changing scenery, etc) to give the illusion of a dynamic world.

this is like talking to a wall. enjoy your kool aid.

Yes, I'll enjoy my koolaid, and you can go ahead and enjoy XIV's amazing "large scale PvE content." :P
