Useful NPCs

Post by Llama »

Today I met one of those 'filler' NPCs which do nothign except stand around and react to "Hello".

Now, personally I hate these NPCs, but some people like them so...

Could we have the 'useless' NPCs all react to keywords regarding their surroundings, so they could act as 'guides'?

For example

"Where is the prison?"
"The prison further away to the North from here"

That way, they might be a bit more useful to people just visiting the towns.

I KNOW that techinically I could learn how to make them, and make them myself, but I umm, don't have the time...

Discuss.

I like the new NPC in Trollsbane offering basic directions and stuff.

Just one small criticism... he says he is in the library, but he's actually outside the hospital. :?

Because someone *points to Hadrian* did a misstake with the coordinates.

And someone else *points to himself <.<* did not put in the bugfix he got.
