There is a lot talk about NPC reactions. I would like to see what people actually expect since seldom or never a game have fully done this.
In GTA V the civilians react better and have various reactions depending on their type, this creates at least a illusion of their individuality. This is something they (CDPR) can do without big problems I think.
However, would be great if people would give some real interaction like player could:
This can be done by branching dialogues that would lead to another branch etc and also the NPC would have set response threshold depending on it's type/style versus player apparel/clothing/street cred...
Yeah, I think I am getting ahead of myself dreaming a bit I am not requiring this at all just thinking out loud, since like said, never seen any game with this deepth of interaction. So pretty much brainstorming out loud. And if you CDPR look like this you can contact me I can program this for you, I know Polish too
So what do you guys would like to see from NPCs?

However, would be great if people would give some real interaction like player could:
- Ask NPC to hang out/follow and build up a relationship this way in the end have his number
- Ask for sex randomly and get either a slap/punch or actually getting it or pay for it
- Ask a NPC that have cool t-shirt to sell it to you or tell him to take it off because it's mine now and either the person runs away, calls the police, gives you the t-shirts or fights you.
- All above can have depending effect (positive or negative based on type of npc) on how you present yourself if you do. "Hey, my name is V" "I'm V and I am dangerous" "Hey sweetie, I'm V and you look gorgeous" "My name is V, and I have a big D"
- Ask NPC to go for a drink with you which would improve relation if accepted
- Give items to NPCs that would either be accepted if the NPC is correct for the type of item, like a girl NPC looking upper class sexy wouldn't accept a baseball cap but would accept a nice dress IF she knows you and have some kind of relationship with you.
- Ask about their type (by asking where you from, what you doing), like getting to know them so that you can imagine what response you might get from all the other interactions.
This can be done by branching dialogues that would lead to another branch etc and also the NPC would have set response threshold depending on it's type/style versus player apparel/clothing/street cred...
