Hello all im pretty much a new face around here. Forgive me if this is in the wrong section. I've never really used a forum aside from gathering information but i think I'd like to make a home here so if you wouldn't mine leveling me up that'd be great
Introductions aside there has been something plaguing my mind for a while now very much as the title says...
NPC-itus:
Npc-itus is a term me and my bro coined to describe static npc's. their whole life in the game is to sit there and say: "oh lovely weather today", or "Don't forget to save Maria", or "Don't worry we'll take care of the village" or my favorite
". . ." over and over and over and over again...
I like to at some point in a game go back to where it all began if possible and see if anything has changed or if there was something i missed. and very rarely have i been rewarded for doing so
the same npc's the same things going on ...one time i went back and the village was still on fire...and according to the game about 2 years had passed. "GG" is all i can say
What i would like to know is ...
Thoughts? , Opinions ?

- have you ever been curious enough to go back and explore around areas that you've already been but perhaps were rushed along by story plot?
- when you're developing your own rpg are you particularly worried about how the player might view the npc's that shape your world
- Would Dynamically evolving npc's Enhance overall gameplay / enjoyment ?

That is ok. I know the rest of the Actor 3 Set...
Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
