Gstaff clarifies 24-hour town pacification

[Marat Sar]

Forgettable Face
You blend in with the crowd. After three days no one can remember the atrocities you have perpetrated against them.

Has anyone noticed how it's the most boring of conversations that shits the shiniest pearl? This is and absolutely genius gameplay option. For once you could role-play boring! I'd LOVE to see this implemented in a game. Imagine the dialogue options! And not only the killing, the down-side should be that people also forget you heroics. Brilliant!

And, wolf, whoever, I mean this in the most heterosexual of ways, of course.


EDIT: OK, perhaps not THE most boring of conversations. Some goodpoints about AI not going anywhere were made.

If you wander into a town, with a shotgun and vault suit, and kills a lot of people, they should be angry at you.
But you if you come back in the same outfit later on (days or weeks doesnt matter) they should still remember.

But if you change to a different armor and a minigun, and helmet to cover your face, they wouldnt bother you.

The same, if someone else with vault suit and shotgun comes to the town, they should be aggressive at him/her because it looks like you.

This is something that I have never seen in a RPG before... Unfortunately.

Out of all the previews I've read, I've yet to read anything negative about the AI or even the physics engine

I know it's kinda radical, but how about watching dem demos? Bridge crossing for example.

LOL, I love how Method 1 to cross the bridge is shoot the crap out of the enemies in VATS mode, and the Alternate Method to cross the bridge is to shoot the crap out of the enemies in real time.

They should have turned the turret against them for a better example, but no...

As far as I know, in the expansion for Gothic 2 (Night of the Raven) there are some instances, but not always, when if you're wearing the wrong armor everyone turn hostile on you. For example wearing the bandit armor and approaching the pirates camp and viceversa.

I don't remember if this also happens in vanilla G2.

You mean roleplaying someone like protagonist of Baldur's Gate?

I don't know, because I have not played the Gothic series (my PC is getting too old ).

But I think this is a thing, that should be easily implented by any major developer. It would add a big immersion value actually.

While I can't pretend to have read every previous entry, I don't see why it would be a requirement to have read every single post on the boards.

Oh, it's not a requirement. I wasn't ripping on you, and I'm not trying to tell you what to do, and I'm not suggesting something I haven't done myself. I'm just offering some friendly advice because we're all better off if you avoid the pitfalls many new posters fall into. What you choose to do with that advice is your business.

Spend some time reading before you start posting. And have thick skin.
