    all that to just add 2 new lines that will increase my enjoyment 3% of the story.. wow what about dawntrail story which is 2 years of work to a story that is mid at best
    They could easily just script most of the movements if certain things occur.

    Player gets hit, heal, aoe goes off cause player needed healing. Certain mechanics going off simultaneously. script the more experienced npcs to safely get around.

    Script less experienced npcs to get hit by scripted aoe.

    it's not too excessively diverging that one affects the other.

    While the whole system undoubtedly affected older content.
    as they learn, the implementation will be less different between the two in MSQ tier content.

    And then there is the non-msq expert dngs that alot of expacs have, with no need of NPCs.

    As they're side content.

    The Cake can be had, and Eaten too.

    And soon enough, undoubtedly the whole bakery.

    the problem with this approach now we have fights specially the old once scripted.. which will limit the replayability of the game..

    I know replayability for old content will not give engagement.. but what about new content?

    Now we are all in chackles because of this Trust system.. we can't randomize or create any new mechanic without double work..

    I would like to give you an example..

    Programmer always have saved scripts for each mechanic..

    when they use specific mechanic just link it with this script or copy and paste basically..

    Now if we want to create new mechanic.. we need to program AI new function to act when this mechanic happened.

    instead of that we could have 2 new mechanic instead of 1

    this is why its double work for no actual benefit
