Lived Through the Heat Death
We start our daily round of the BIS feedback forums with this statement from Richard "Akari" Taylor :
<blockquote>Support for Seamless building transitions (With the FO tradition of vanishing roofs) is in the engine according to my understanding.</blockquote>
On the question if a character goes into some stranger's house uninvited, how should the inhabitant treat him in an RPG Chad "Briareus" Nicholas had this to say:
<blockquote> Consistently. I hated how in some RPGs one townie won't even notice you going through their shelves and the next townie in the adjacent house will pull out a bazooka for even looking at his chest and set every townie as hostile to you. People can act differently and still provide consistency for the player. For example, the player tries to loot a chest. TownieA might say, "Do that again and I'll shoot your hand off." TownieB might say, "Get outta here or I'll call the police while screaming like a baby!" Each reaction is different, but the player can quickly realize that looting any chests in this town will result in combat unless he is Cotton Fingers McStealthersons.</blockquote>
