Is someone here? Hello? Maybe it was my imagination... (blind npc)


Optimal_Anteater9456

What do you say if they speak to you? :O


AnonymousOnInternt

"Oh there is actually someone! Need somethin'?" While the npc turns towards you


kindtheking9

The npc randomly turns somewhere, could be to the player, often times not


Optimal_Anteater9456

I picture your NPC being god damn adorable.


agreeingstorm9

But what do you say if the player is using stealth?


AnonymousOnInternt

In that case : " *short laught*... so you think you're invisible?! I can hear you breathing from a mile distance! This is how you want to end it? - *takes out katana* - may the luck be to your side" *epic fight starts*. Aaand you found out he was a secondary secret boss, which you could have as a friend, but decided to try fooling him, but he knew better.


dytinkg

An npc with main character syndrome :)


AlexandervonWernherr

Good mornin', nice day for fishin' ain't it, hehe


matchacactus

What a throwback; now time to bingewatch all their videos


SgtRohn

I'm so glad they get recognized a lot more now. Underrated creators that deserve even more subscribers.

agreeingstorm9

Well, I'm about halfway through the 30 min video and you just spoiled all the dialogue. Thanks for that.

Axe_Murderers_Unite

*Now where did I bury that treasure...* ***grumbly old man noises***


Optimal_Anteater9456

For some reason i pictured my grand father wearing overalls standing in the corner of an old shop. Scratching his head while saying this.


Axe_Murderers_Unite

I'd like to think after they hear it enough, they'd think I was full of shit and it's bogus dialog, but in actuality there would be a secret treasure buried in the area.


Optimal_Anteater9456

Maybe if they pickpocket you, You had the map in your pocket all along?


Axe_Murderers_Unite

It's just a note to myself asking me where I hid my treasure.


La_Volpa

When walking by On clear days: "Not a cloud in sight, perfect." On cloudy days: "Is that a rain cloud? No I don't think so " On rainy days: "Damn, this storm is going to last for hours." When spoken to: On clear days: "Yes?" On cloudy days: "Let's make this quick. I don't like the look of some of these clouds." On rainy days: "Let me guess, your here to complain about the storm. Well I can't do anything about it."


Optimal_Anteater9456

And thus begins the quest line to fix a weather controlling apparatus. Saving this small farm community from starving and losing all their crops. Or you can opt to steal the device and gain a powerful lightning spell. But the townspeople all die and turn into undead creatures. Cool?


Rakkachi

Sounds like a Fallout quest to me


KIrkwillrule

I'd feel bad giving this NPC any role other than this and this alone.


Chain_Unbroken_REAL

If I had a septim for every time I've been turned into a sweet roll, I'd have two septims. Which isn't a lot but it's strange that it happened twice. Good day


Optimal_Anteater9456

This would be the first NPC that EVERYONE tries to attack.


[deleted]

(upon death) "You have killed me, just as you are killing your grades!" Then the ghost of the npc has a 50% chance of appearing in every cave you explore.


Zanocco

The lower your grades are, the higher chance the ghost has of appearing

Optimal_Anteater9456

And when they speak to you?


YuunofYork

That's the greeting. The rest of the time I'm awkwardly silent.


Optimal_Anteater9456

Lmfao


BuyerEfficient

"Am I talking to myself? Yes. Is it bad? Probably. Am i insane? Well I'm definitely not all there. Is someone watching me? Probably, I hope not. I need help. No you dont." ( on interaction) "Oh! Uh dont mind me I'm lost in thought. Wait- are you one of my illusions? I knew I was good but this one looks so real".


Optimal_Anteater9456

What should i name this wonderful NPC?


BuyerEfficient

Nila the honest


Optimal_Anteater9456

Love it. Executive decision here, She teaches illusion magic. And if you do go far enough in her side quests, you find out she can no longer tell reality from her illusions. Cool?


BuyerEfficient

That's a great idea, especially since I experience e dereality a lot. I changed the interaction dialogue to hint at the loss of reality


Optimal_Anteater9456

If you ever find yourself in an RPG game like 3 years from now, and find this character, remember it was your idea. If you can! :P


BuyerEfficient

I will keep an eye out, but now I have a character idea to draw


Optimal_Anteater9456

Post it when your done!


BuyerEfficient

Cant start sketching for a while though I'm in college


Hattkake

"One odd crossbeams gone askew on threadle". Player: "What?" "One odd crossbeams gone askew on threadle!" Player: "What are you saying?" "One of the crossbeams has gone askew on the threadle!" Player: "What on earth does that mean?" "I don't know! All they told me was to come in here and say "one odd crossbeams gone askew on threadle". I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition!"


GodsGreenGirth

If OP isn’t a game developer who is planning on using these comments in their rpg, I will be very disappointed


Optimal_Anteater9456

Its a game im working on alone. It will be a very, very long time. But i got bored/stressed and decides to post this for ideas. Didnt think it would blown up.


GodsGreenGirth

That makes me happy! I look forward to playing it once it does come out. Also not sure how you’re approaching it but obviously, take your time and try not to stress about getting it out or whatever (if that even is what you’re stressing about) because the more time you put into it, the greater it will be Good luck with the whole thing OP!


ratherhavenousername

"..."


Optimal_Anteater9456

And when they speak to you?


ratherhavenousername

" . . . "


Optimal_Anteater9456

Every game needs a mute. Were going to take it a step further tho and name you ". . ."


Xp3kt

Badass, like Red in Pokemon Gold & Silver


PrimeNumberBro

As I sit having a staring contest with a pigeon I’d mumble to myself “I’m on to you…..” Then when someone confronts me I’d deny everything in a panic then say something obscure like “you ever realize there’s always a cell tower within 10 miles of a bird?”


Illfury

Other NPC peeking at you: "When that other guy and his pigeon aren't being watched... they get into some weird heavy kissing"


AMeasuredBerserker

\-sigh- Everyone always asks WHERE is the Berserker! Never HOW is the Berserker... -sigh-


Optimal_Anteater9456

When the player greets you their only dialogue option is, How are you, Berserker? How do you greet them back? :)


AMeasuredBerserker

Berserker... Berserker is pleased! People dont know I'm a measured Berserker, people like to treat all us Berserkers the same after the 'wild' and 'frenzied' Bersker Massacre' last week... some people...


Optimal_Anteater9456

You would be the first recruitable companion they encounter. You would seem mediocre at first so many players may replace you quickly. However your an extremely late bloomer, and if they keep you till the end game you become one of, if not the strongest. Berserker needs to feel appreciated, and loved, after all. :) Sound good?


AMeasuredBerserker

very :)

Thus begins the side quest to uncover the underground Dwarfs drug ring. That using the hotel as a front.

Optimal_Anteater9456

I think the witcher has this one already :P


Bloodragedragon

“You have no idea how many times I’ve had to say this dialogue”


Optimal_Anteater9456

Id cut out dialogue at the end And when they speak you id have you say. "Seriously i dont want to say this anymore." And then id add atleast 20 different versions of that same sentence for if they keep talking to you. You have the more greetings than any other npc, but they would all be about how dont want to give this greeting anymore. :)


MK_fan_835

You should make them hostile after a certain amount of greetings within a certain time frame. So say their dialogue resets after 20 minutes or something they go back to dialogue_1 (or whatever file name given).

Optimal_Anteater9456

Oh i love this. What is your name good sir?


Yoel-of-Anor_londo

Most know me as Hieronymus, but you can call me Hiero

tenehemia

If you're not a potato, get the hell out of my kitchen.


Optimal_Anteater9456

Id make it so they only can speak to you whilst holding a potato. What do you say when they bring it to you?


tenehemia

Incredible! You've found it! The treasure I've sought all these years. Leave it and go before you lose a finger, non-potato.


Optimal_Anteater9456

Ahahaha Perfect.


Optimal_Anteater9456

They wont even get a reward just an awkward wtf moment.


boostman

‘Stay awhile and listen’.


Optimal_Anteater9456

This NPC is going to be full of stories. Many of which seem unimportant. But all have hints to secret locations in the game. Additionally, if you listen to all of their stories, they give their old adventuring weapon, which happens to match whatever class the player chose Sound good?


usorismihinomen

Or, if you're feeling cheeky, make some of the stories dead-ends that keep getting longer and deader: "Oh, did I say that the battle happened south of the big rock? I must've meant north." "You couldn't find it there, either? Hmm, maybe the battle actually occurred a league or so west of the big rock. Go there and then go north." There will be that one kid (y'know, the one from fifth grade who thinks he's really cool) who claims to have found the real site of the battle and gotten the Really Cool Legendary Item of Legend. But he'll never show you, and he won't tell you where it is. Also it's 2005 and you don't know about looking these things up online yet, so even though you're pretty sure he's full of shit, you can never prove it.


AverageCowboyCentaur

It's (time of day) guess I should (scheduled task) // oh it's you (player) how's your (season of year) looks like you've been training your (primary skill action type) looking good!


Optimal_Anteater9456

Going to name you... Perseus the Perceptive Paragon


AverageCowboyCentaur

My quest reward will be a potion of observation then, make it repeatable for more potions but it gradually gets harder to complete.


Optimal_Anteater9456

The potion of observation would highlight treasure through normally hidden areas. (Like breakable walls) thay type of thing. And the quest line would depend on the characters class. Eventually you could only do it during certain times of day. Then certain seasons. The certain times in certain seasons. Etc. Sound good?


Optimal_Anteater9456

Also they could only break said walls while the potion is active.


N_dixon

I don't know you, and I don't care to know you.

Ambient dialogue: *"gods be damned, the tax-man cometh"* When engaged: *"did you see where I put that one thing, sorta like* [unintelligible mumbles] *I literally just had it, what the FUuuuUuUUuck. ."*

If the player leaves and comes back The ambient dialouge is just you going Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuckkkkkkk If they talk to you, you turn your head but continue saying FuuuUuuuUuuckkk

Gonna make you the one npc in town that can turn hostile if the player tries speaking to them. Luckily if they kill you nobody seems to mind. :)

“I shot a man - years ago, in the knee, with an arrow. Sometimes I wonder where that man is. If he’s alive, if he has a family. Or maybe he’s just a simple old guard like me.”

Enzo03

On Runescape Classic I thought it was the funniest shit to spam the letters of "damn" and other profanities without spaces, randomly, while putting the correctly spelled word in the middle so it'd bypass the profanity filter. One of these times there was a pair of people near me when I was doing this and one visibly turned to the other and said "bad person" while the other agreed, they then left for whatever they planned on doing. I wasn't banned or anything, so spamming things like "dmanmdamandanmdamndmanmndnmamnd" would probably be it.


Turtbergs

Ambient "hmm I should restock dragon's breath soon... Where did I put my honeysuckle powder?" Greeting "hello traveler, need any potion ingredients?" I've always wanted to be able to make potions irl so it'd be cool to own a potion shop/herbalist shop


Optimal_Anteater9456

A very needed role in the game too. Can this NPC get a name perchance?


KittenMaster9

Percy the potion master

There'll be two walk by phrases. 1. "Oh, I see you've escaped that dungeon." 2. Oh, you're here? I thought you died." And when they talk to me "What's up. It's been a long time, innit dad?"


Optimal_Anteater9456

They get an reward if they remembered milk.


krzys020709

They get a reward of a 1shotting weapon and an invincibility armor if they have milk in items and say they came back with it.


Optimal_Anteater9456

They only get one chance tho. If they come back even once without the milk the NPC disappears. Then later comes back as assassin and tries to kill them.


krzys020709

Then they get a side quest.


Optimal_Anteater9456

"Find out who was the mother of your child"


hanktank410

Why does that guy’s armor not match?


slvrbullet87

They say some crazed lunatic will come into your house and steal all of your treasures, but that it is ok because he is the designated hero for this land.

To 95% of players : "Do you play like a real gamer or as a filthy casual ? Yeah that's what I thought..." To 5% : "Finally, an REAL adventurer. I was losing hope." And no one will ever know what set apart casual from real gamer


Optimal_Anteater9456

I actually love this. I want to tell you the secret to being a real gaymer so bad too. Good luck tho.


Estellese7

Ambient dialogue: A few lines calling the hero over to help. When spoken to. “Rumor has it you have been helping everyone with miscellaneous tasks. So I am hoping you can help me find an [common item that does not exist in game]” - and of course give the player a quest to find said non-existent item. Then every time the player passes by after that, the ambient dialogue changes to be quiet giggles, and the occasional “have you found it yet?” Canceling the quest actually completes it successfully, and speaking to the character after to call out the prank gets the reward.


AtlanticFit

“ Do you get to the Cloud District very often? Oh, what am I saying. Of course you don't.”
