Please read this first because if you go on and vote without reading, you will wonder "why the fuck are there three different options for the same companies?".
I've had this discussion on other sites before. Which franchise has the most believable NPCs?
GOTHIC
My personal opinion: I can't decide between Gothic and The Witcher.

- Is it the Gothic series, where many generic NPCs are to be found?
- Is it The Elder Scrolls series, where every single NPC (barring enemies) is unique?
GOTHIC
- Towns are considerably populated.
- Many generic NPCs dot these towns. These are virtually indistinguishable from each other.
- Those that are "less generic" are usually distinguished by their animation or something concrete they are doing in-game.
- All other NPCs are unique with names, personalities, and offer quests and other services. At the very least, they are the closest to a real life person you will find in-game.
- All NPCs, even generic ones with no name or unique voices, have schedules, as basic as they may be.
- Towns are densely populated.

- Only unique NPCs have schedules.
- Towns and cities are sparsely populated.
- Every NPC to be found here, minus guards, is unique. They are perfectly distinguishable from each other, with their own names, personalities, dialogue lines. They all have their own schedules, as basic as they may be.
- Certain characters (bartenders, smiths, traders) repeat the same lines, word by word.
