Gentoo Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Why must we always fight??? WHY WILL THEY NEVER REASON?! I walk into a warehouse, onto a boat, into a cave, and I meet some Freakshow or some Hellions, or Warriors, maybe some cool looking Tsoo, and they always want to fight me. They never listen to my speeches. They never negotiate. I always wind up beating them up, so why won't they learn to discuss things like rational non-psychopathic adults? This city is insane! 3 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious reply in a fun thread, I'm excited for machine learning developments making this reality closer every day.

Soyuz Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I know, right? Dialogue options with the potential to lead to a peaceful resolution wouldn't necessarily work for all missions - if I'm busting into a Council base to foil their latest Evil Plottm then by definition I'm up against a bunch of ideologically motivated nutbags in the middle of commiting Crimes Against Humanity. They're not likely to be talked out of it. But the Warriors? They're motivated by more... practical concerns. I suspect the real reason is that the technology didn't support it when the game launched and it would be a lot of work for the Homecoming team to do. It'd be nice to see it crop up just occasionally though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TemporalVileTerror Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I realize a fair share of folks in here are just taking the piss, but . . . Yes? Yes. Yes to the idea of introducing some (more) dialogue tree content where you could actually negotiate with the NPCs. @holymittens did an AMAZING demo of this in the Rogue-only mission from Bobby. There's a mission where you have to interrogate someone, and if you get Clues from Glowies before doing so, you can leverage the information you collected to get the truth out of the NPC, rather than him sending you on a wild goose chase. It was an absolute stroke of brilliance, and I am so sad we haven't seen anything else from @holymittens since. I want more content like that!

They might come back as one of the Vahz, or a desiccated corpse for the Banished Pantheon, but then they fight me. So, two times tops, not "always". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greycat Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Honestly, I wouldn't mind the option (on occasions when it makes sense.) I think we were starting to see a little of it (see having the option to save or kill Trapdoor, for instance,) but in all honesty it would probably work better in a single player COH RPG. Primarily on Everlasting. Squid afficionado. Former creator of Copypastas. General smartalec. I tried to combine Circle and DE, but all I got were garden variety evil mages.
