Do you usually kill all the NPCs you meet in RPGs?

[jungl]

I liked how in Elona you can kill npcs or named ones for achievements and rare loot and they respawn after few weeks. More games could adopt and expand this kind of gameplay. Would be fun playing a rpg where you can have unique combat encounters by fighting npcs you normally wouldnt in most games. Attack a black smith and his apprentice and dog join the fight. Attack a queen and fight a spell caster different then anything else in the game and her honor guard.

Except when you duel these npcs nothing bad happens. western rpgs takes themselves too serious and could look to adopt some stuff from jrpgs.

The likelihood of me killing NPCs increases with how powerful they are compared to the other enemies in the game.

For me, it's not if they are dangerous, but if they have tons of good loot or money.

Are you from the NPC School?

Depends on the race

Only the ones that are children.

I have a habit of killing or beating up dishonest and cocky characters just to show who's the boss of this gym.

I pity you, for knowing so little about INTERNATIONAL♂WRESTLING.

 

[PsychoFox]

I don't but i like the option to be there. RPG writers have a habit of writing incredibly annoying (read arrogant, whiny, bitching etc.) NPCs. It's always encouraging to know I can blast them off a cliff if they get *too* on my nerves. Usually doesn't happen though.

 

[lefthandblack]

Yes.

That got me thinking. When are we going to have a RPG that does romance right? I mean right R♂ght.

Kingdom Come Deliverance. The monastery quest, you are supposed to be locked inside and forced to do a bunch of boring shit to find a specific individual, you can't leave or do anything else in the game until you do. I chose to just kill everyone there and loot the corpses thereby accomplishing the objective while getting to kill a bunch of Mackerel-Snapping-Papists in the process.

 

[aeroaeko]

no, but I masturbate to the cute girl npcs

 

[Nifft Batuff]

Only if the npcs are cute elves. Or if the setting requires it. As in this game.

I just got put on an FBI watchlist didn't I

 

[Tweed]

Only if they're really obnoxious, or if they're some kind of obvious mouthpiece for the developer, gotta kill those quick.

I don't think. It's an old game. People bitched about it a lot in its time. Maybe it could be interesting to cite it for the school class research.

 

[catfood]

Only if they drop good loot.

 

[DalekFlay]

I almost always play Dirty Harry types who ruthlessly murder the guilty but protect the innocent, so no.

Is this thread a social experiment?

Depends on the race

A quote from Drakengard 3.. "Elf genocide? Can I join in? They aren't people, it's not murder. "

 

[Funposter]

I very rarely kill NPCs, and typically try my best to preserve them at all costs. There's nothing worse than a game that's been turned into a ghost town.

 

[V_K]

There's no such thing as NPCs, only easy XP.

 

[Palomides]

I enjoy electrocuting people, so I try that if I can.

 

[Ranarama]

Not normally, but I remember installing mods to kill all the children in little lamplight in Fallout 3 after being annoyed at the idea that it wasn't an option in an "RPG".
