[β] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 94 points 11 months ago (4 children) They're more enjoyable for the player. It usually sucks big time to be an NPC in a game permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [β] DrDystopia@lemy.lol 13 points 10 months ago (2 children) I dunno man, I think I'd enjoy being an NPC in some of the sim/builders I play. I enjoy it when my loyal subjects are happy. On the other hand, if they're not happy I usually decide to give them something to be not happy about. You know what, forget the whole NPC thing. Players are voletile gods. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [β] Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago I am a benevolent but incompetent ruler. My NPCs would be happy right up until they all died because I put off some boring upgrade/maintenance task and the colony exploded. permalink fedilink source parent [β] moobythegoldensock@infosec.pub 2 points 10 months ago Iβd hate being an NPC in the games I play. Especially since fiery deaths are often a loophole to the βno killing NPCsβ rule. permalink fedilink source parent [β] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago Sometimes I feel like an Adventures of Link NPC.

I have the insufferable need to chime in sometimes and pre-resolve potential ambiguities. It's something im working on. Reason I even brought it up is I'm usually nice to npc's in general, but man. Some people I see in videos or anecdotes from assosciates got me giving them a mad side-eye. 1's and 0's or not, the malice and sadism gets ridiculous sometimes. Makes me repeatedly realize how different some people consume the same game as me in ways I never thought of and/or could never bring myself to do.
