1) ALL NPCs should have portraits, including non joinable NPCs.
2) All NPCs should have some vague semblance of a personality.. 3) Unless it's a "special" (mentally challenged) NPC, they should have something to talk about, and interests beyond what the player wants to know. 4) The smaller the town the more bizzare the rumors.. (eg: there's been a huge fearsome beast lurking in the east forest!! - actually it's trash collecting golem, made by a mage trhat's sick of littering villagers, or a group of kobolds getting their jolleys by scaring the villagers.) Naturally the hero can boast that it was a greater beholder or some-such. 5) Converting alredy made NPCs is fine as long as you remove ANY references to "child of Baal" or any other bg2 plot references..

hmm.... i don't remember this being pinned... anyways, i was thinking that before we send the TC out into the public word, we should have all of the modders get together and discuss/send their parts etc. so that we can add banters with the NPCs. Such as x from my mod is in location Y, which is N's mod. z from N's mod says "hello, <charname>" and x from my mod says "go away."
just an idea. it would greatly maximize the conistency or whatever of the TC. Perhaps you should just make a workroom for the whole TC... BTW I just checked the description of this forum: QUOTE(Forum Description) A place to duscuss the ongoing development of the WTP, and submod plugins. Making a new world, together. That last part reminds me of some kind of a commercial.

Member of the World Transition Project And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door; And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming, And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor; And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor Shall be lifted - nevermore! Like dealing with terrorists by giving them explosives |
