    • NPC INTERACTION?


      Can you make NPCs that can interact eg. Good guys fight monsters, or monsters eat townsfolk and folk try fight back?

      You know what? I just got this ackward theory. They obviously didn't program in the ability for NPC interaction up to the current release. They also won't answer this question. They haven't said yes. But they haven't said blatantly no. They've either said "not yet" or "not with the current release." I've finally figured out why they are taking forever for the next release. They have been working hard on all of the features that we've been complaining about on the board. Mainly this one about NPC interaction. It all makes sense. What else could they be working on that would take soooooooooo many months to complete? It's the NPC interaction people. They're working really hard to perfect it and add extra features to it so that it'll work with the game without extensive programming and without eating memory or killing speed.

      By the way, I don't really beleive this, I just got bored and fealt like saying something. And I hope somebody will have an answer to this question by the next realease that rhymes with "guess" or "baby."

    • Well, you can certainly specify NPC's movement paths via the animation engine, and you can set the loyalties of the NPC's (ie. mosters enemies or a monster), so it might be possible. I think the only answer anyone can offer at the moment is wait and see.

      Monsters can have enemies? Does any NPC fight any other NPC in PoG? I never got that far. I decided that the game was too hard and I didn't stick around to find out.

    • I'd like something similar to in EVO where say, a renegade krait might enter say Iothe system, and militia krait attacks renegade.

      Is it poss?
