tenpoundfortytwo 1 Posted August 13, 2012 Not sure if this has already been suggested but was thinking about the idea of NPC non zombie civilians.The obvious issue with the game so far is that after a certain period of time you have not got a whole lot to do, which seems to lead a lot of people into banditry!Imagine making your way into a building only to find a crying NPC begging you to get him to some sort of safety. The challenge would be to escort him out of the building, fend of any zombies, and take him to some sort of safehouse/fort (obviously another thing to think about). Maybe you would then receive some sort of reward, or maybe being a nice guy would be reward enough. I think it would work well in a group, storming a stronghold to free multiple helpless civilians.Not sure how feasible this would be to implement- i guess the NPC could mirror your movement state, eg, if you're prone they would be prone, if you're running they would be running. Maybe you could give them a pistol!Anyway, just a thought! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hydra (DayZ) 472 Posted August 13, 2012 I don't see what a player could want with them besides dragging them about as meatshields. Doing favors for something that can't express emotion or give valuable rewards? Hah, right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
umandez 139 Posted August 13, 2012 It's just not that sort of game I'm afraid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
insitv 305 Posted August 13, 2012 Currently every decision made by a player is driven by his motivation and goals. It's a "do anything you want/do anything you can with this engine" type of game.Introducing NPCs or even quests would change that for the worse i fear.Get a group of friends and make your own quests: Who can get the most kills in a given amount of time? Who can gather the most food/ammo?Get a few vehicles and organize a race from NWAF to Cherno or something...The possibilites are almost endless when you realize how many tools you have been given..

major_sheep 3 Posted August 14, 2012 You guys haven't been listening to Rocket have you. He has said before that he may be adding towns along the roads with people asking for "quests" to be done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Womb Raider 92 Posted August 14, 2012 (edited) Not that sort of mod.This is a player driven world, unless it is made by players it will not happen. Edited August 14, 2012 by Womb Raider Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
