Thanks to a video posted by Reddit user OkPain2022, we’re given a glimpse of how pickpocketing will work. Of course, you’ll still need to approach them by crouching, and after you do that, a prompt will appear, allowing you to steal from them. After that, another menu will appear, showing you what they have and the odds of you successfully stealing said items.
How did an rpg without npcs work?
The game mostly had terminals with messages and voice recordings.
That sounds…depressing
so it’s perfect for a post apocolypse setting?
It’s much improved now and for a discount it’s worth playing I’d say, but when it came out it was total garbage. Never mind the fact that it barely worked, the whole concept of a story built around audio recordings and reading text was a disaster. They had to explain why you never saw anyone so you spend the first part of it following a character but always just missing them getting messages like ‘hey I had to run but it’s cool just meet me at x location’ then repeating it once you get there.
I get what they were trying to do but it just failed to come together.
I unironically liked it more than when they added NPCs, it was a story about how everyone in the area either fled, died, or turned into a monster while you and your friends from the vault opened up and went out, figuring out what happened as you accidentally your way into different factions kept alive by robots.
It was fine honestly
It had NPCs, just because they weren’t “human” models they decided to market it as a world that didn’t need NPCs to tell a story…even though it did…and they added human NPCs later anyway.
