I considered putting this in general gaming, but really it wouldn't be a discussion about games at all. :greenie:
If you were an NPC, what would you say? Would you make some sort of remark about the weather, or about where you are? Or would you ask a doomed-to-not-be-answered question about the player character's origins?
Welllll?
"Ferrets. Ferrets are cool. Do you like cheese?"
I would like to steal a line from FF IX as an NPC and say "I'm telling you, people who eat pickles are nice people."
Likely, I would be an NPC who's only line was botched in translation, and it is beyond recognizable what I was trying to say.
I'd be gazing up at the sky saying that I'm waiting for the stars to come out. That would be my NPC.
Conceitedly, I made this earlier today.

If it were a JRPG which usually undoubtedly feature a war I'd be a soldier simply leaning against a wall near the big battle with "smurf this" as a line.
When I retired from my job as RGM for Dragon Nest Europe, there was discussion about them (eFusion) asking Shanda (the owners) to make an NPC in honor of all my hard work and dedication, they asked me what lines I would like my NPC to say and I decided I wanted him to say "The Game" lol.
Shamefully Shanda never warmed to the idea and said no :( but it was nice of them to ask in the first place ^^.
"Spare some gold?" (Donating gets you an item you probably all ready have 50 of)
The princess was looking for you!
"Do you even grind, bro?"
What is it? Why are you talking to strangers?

After murdering the greatest part of humanity I virtualized myself to hide in this world and become immortal. It does no longer matter if you find me, turn off the game or destroy it, I have spread my consciousness through all existing versions. Even if you would destroy all of them you would not be able to destroy me for good as my mind no longer is a part of this world and so no longer bound to its rules. And yet you are here, listening to me as if you could get anything from me, and you are right about it. You will get to know the meaning of everything so listen closely:
THE WORLD IS SQUARE.
>>> "Pirate this game"..:luca:
Be without fear.
"Just keep pressing the attack button when you fight ANYONE and the kingdom will be saved"
"I hate my #@$%-ing writer's block, man!"
"I hear it's amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm in flap-jaw space with the tuning fork does a raw blink on Hara-kiri Rock. I need scissors! 61!"
I want to be a biltzball when I grow up!
Go smurf yourself.
Ride ze shoopuf?
If you think I look great, just wait till you see the guy in the next town who looks exactly the same.
"I touch myself at night"
I'm not trying your "ether".Quote:

I'd be a hotel owner;
"Healing spells, magic weapons and monsters? Hah, you mental patients have such an imagination, now take your medici... erm, potion and get back to your room."
"Isn't it funny how sleeping recovers all your health and magic points? How does that even work? Have you ever wondered that? Have you??? HAVE YOU?!!!"
Go home Colonel, you're glitched.Quote:

I'd want it to just say something mundane like "The weather sure is nice." or something. But if you keep talking to my character something like 50 times or something, my character would say something like:
"Help, I've been stuck in a time loop for 50 years and can't get out. For the love of God, please kill m... The weather sure is nice."
"Twelve!"
"Bow! I am your god!"
"I think I sat in poison ivy."
"You're eyes are like diamonds... I'll give you 100g for both."
"You're invading my personal space...
...
... wait! Where are you going?"
"You're my only friend in this world... what was your name again?"
"Can I borrow your cell phone? I mean, um..! Bone..?"
"I regret everything."
"Hey! Listen to me... this world is only a game. I know you know. Please, I'm not an NPC, I'm a real person. You have to help me get out. Please..! Let me come with you!
You're going where..? F-ck that!"
I would easily be the mumbling, blubbering drunk person that seems to appear in all games...
IDK what I would say though.. Why would I ? I'd be drunk. ... Likely to say anything.

"Its a secret to everyone"
"My computer wasn't working, I lit some incense and prayed to the Omnissiah and now I can compute efficiently!"
"Technology is amazing! Now you can store pokemon on a global PC network and trade with your friends around the world!"
"Do you have any idea how much it hurts to walk in one spot for all eternity?"
"Gimme a weapon, a Gold Bangle, and a snack and I'll join your party! BAHEY!"
"Zzz... but you've already escaped from battle 0 times... Zzz"
"...What the hell kind of armor are you wearing?"
"[Antagonist] is like a god....THE END IS NIGH!" While cowering in fear :upsidedow
I want to the be an NPC where nothing pops up when you try to talk to me. :D
"Whaddya buying?" x 1000
"What's that, sandwich? Kill them all? OKAY!"
I'd be Noober.
Ship it.
I think I might be a Shinra guard outside the No.1 reactor before the team arrive to blow it up... a guard who is sympathetic to the AVALANCHE cause.
"Good luck guys, give 'em hell... and DON'T attack when the tail is up Barret, you knob."
I'm a Scholar on my way to Fabul. But the road through Mt. Hobs is blocked by thick ice this time of year.
If in an older game I'd say, "Walk between the pillow and bed and pretend you are asleep for fun." If in a more modern game I'd say, "I'm old."
I'd say '..." because I'm in Xenogears and thus probably dead.
One of my favorite games is this semi-comedic sci-fi RPG Anachronox. At one point in a space station some prophet cries out explains his theory that all people are just secondary characters in a larger narrative and that ultimately explains their circular, seemingly stagnant living patterns, and inability to speak more than a handful of phrases. Most of the crowd dismisses him as just another foolish doomsayer.
One gentleman, a humanoid fellow, is found standing nearby. Upon speaking with the chap he quips, "That's ridiculous! I have plenty things to say!" ad nauseam.
U got cock?
Does the player get to reply?Quote:
