Will you be able to hail NPC ships and threaten them to drop their cargo on the off chance it will save their ship? If so, will there be a randomly generated personality for NPC? Some that fight, flee to the nearest authority, or cowards that will drop their cargo and run?asked by Valerian
Yeah, the short answer is yes, absolutely. I mean my goal actually is for the NPCs in the game to sort of feel and appear much like real people so in some ways I almost sort of feel like until you get up close I kind of don't want the players to really even know that it's an NPC or a player and therefore the NPCs, we're already designing a bunch of behavior for them and part of that plan is to have human like responses like to preserve their own lives and that kind of stuff so I would definitely say that you will be able to say "Give us your cargo or pay the consequences" and some people will fight you and some people will just surrender their cargo and get out.
