    Here are today's "Jefferson" project forum highlights. Please take into account that these are only single parts of various threads and should not be taken out of context.

    J.E. Sawyer, Lead Designer

    NPC Influence: It's just number tracking, addition and subtraction, triggering dialogue responses and opening character development paths. The most difficult part isn't mechanics, it's creating the content.

    The Protagonist will be able to dramatically change the personalities of some of the more unstable CNPCs.


    Quote: Will the player have direct control over the levling of NPCs?

    Direct control, but limited by what the CNPC accepts learning. Similar to biases, CNPCs have professions they want to pursue, professions they do not want to pursue, and professions they can be persuaded to pursue.


    Quote: All this interaction might get annoying and frustrating in a long game. I say *might* as I'm not really sure about how much this 'interaction' will be a feature of this game and how often such interactions will take place.

    You can always tell people to shut up. Also, dialogue doesn't pause the game.
