Wherrrre..was it we talked about your Role and/or gear and/or looks causing varying reactions from NPCs?
You know, if you walk into the Corp Center wearing Gibson Battlegear or with 4 combat cyberarms, that would make Arasaka Security there a little less than happy?
Be interesting if you had a +/- faction bar beside different cyber, clothing and customization choices.
So providing the player with some initial context is important. Sard gets RED point. Not telling where I found it.
... have the game world react to you.
Well, I'm still in favour of NOT telling the player exactly how their appearance affects the reactions of NPCs. Let them work it out for themselves. Giggle.
So no faction bars.
It's..it's BEAUTIFUL. So sleek, so durable. I love it. I want moooore.
Yeah, a slider is pretty bland, isn't it? I wonder....
Do you remember the character creator from Vampire Bloodlines? It asked you questions in hypothetical situations and your answers gave you a suggested Clan (Role) as well as playstyle? I wonder if CDPR or whoever is writing for them has considered either a walkthrough mission or even a simple yet highly thematic series of questions to give new players an idea of world setting and factions and Role optimizations/selections?
You could even set up some kind of Bartmoss Aptitude Determiner Test online before the game came out, give people an idea of the setting and some of their character options. Maybe get a head start on letting them know there are no levels or character classes per se, but these weird Role things, with skills and Role Packages and Lifepath generators. Show them some of the Selling Out options for 10,000 eb of cyber..
Could be cool.
I think I first made the posit here, in the Wardrobes and Styles thread.Wherrrre..was it we talked about your Role and/or gear and/or looks causing varying reactions from NPCs?
Not that I'm trying to sell anyone on GTA V, but that's one of the things I think they do well. You may not necessarily know you're in the wrong part of town, but if you are, and you hang out long enough, some of the locals will tell you (in so many words) to f?!k off....as a person living in the city, you should probably know some things, like wearing the wrong color in a certain part of town will get you killed, or pissing in the sink will get you thrown out of the corporations banquet...

If you don't (or if you hostile them,) they start shooting.
The most beautiful thing is, the boundaries of these areas is unmarked, you just have to know... And it seems to change between day and night, becoming slightly larger once the sun goes down.
Thy really put a ton of details into the game that most people don't even notice, but make the world feel alive in ways few other games do.
