Lifeless world ?

No matter how unique NPCs patterns are, they will eventually get "old" to look at overtime. and giving npcs patterns to follow ( and not just one were talking like 50+ npcs per city). That's a pretty hefty coding job with that alone.

As long as they "pretend" to have a conversation with another NPC ( for years and years XD haha) Or Tom NPC walks to Store gets food, then walks back to stump to eat his food, only to walk back to the same store to buy the same food, and eat it at the same place again ( for years and years to come XD). Then I wouldn't mind NPC be "Lively".

Could classify real life as this as well lol. Yes it would acquire allot of coding and attention to needless to say they could possible over the year change it up er say an expansion or as the game goes on. They can do it in small way to change things as they do patches or major updates.

I'm watching you.. Do something new I'm bored.

I do believe Yoshida specifically mentioned they are trying to pay attention to life in the city - but talked aganist important npc schedules as it would be annoying to find them if you didnt know the schedule previously.

I would think if you add npc schedules but then add guards who can help you find someone in particular (through a type in the name / quest) that could remedy the issue.

Page 1 read my first reply and here you go something new i guess lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viXhp0v1gGY Yea if they used quest npc on random stuff like that it would get confusing to find people they would need to do something like that i suppose.

That and have a random npc come kick us in the junk and we fall flat on our faces in pain as the kid runs off laughing >.>

lol Saw your edit.

With quests that use npcs that you already have the quest started on - you can always have the famous omnipotent effect and let the radar / map point to the actual npc rather then general location.

However finding someone that you dont have the quest by, thats where a guard with a search feature would be great.

"Excuse me have you seen Odintius?"

"Oh yes he is over in #General Name of Area# and can usually be spotted around <POS> at this time"
or
"He only comes out of his den at night to bother the Viera and Mithras leavin' the Miners Club located at <POS>"

Could make players use it even if they have the quest "anti-give it straight to you" system - but I think SE wants to go the more hand it in your lap route.


Maybe not having a kid come score on the junk but I think random npc events interacting with your character could be really fun - specially some quest ones, classically known to happen in single player games.
