Yeah, "Map Events" I was wondering if we could use them to "trigger" certain parts of quests...
and possibly even generate rare spawns?

tons of uses if we could find ways to implement them...

i brought it up in the meeting & it was warmly welcomed.

we ended up trying to think of ways to use this kinda feature to make changes to NPCs when you finish certain quests.

- Leta finds Oromir...
- The Guard finally leaves drunk...
- (and in turn) The man breaks out of prison... etc.

Oskar has written some really brilliant scrpits,
he missed the meeting - but i am sure he will have feedback soon.



still just trying to think of ways to make the world feel more dynamic!
great posts!

We are currently testing monsters with intelligent movement...
each monster type has it's own behavior pattern,
vague examples (because we may scrap this idea) - but...

- insects swarm
- mammals with pack mentality
- undead are somewhat passive

it would be great to have them "react" to things...

like when you attack a "leader" with two "henchmen"
one henchman engages you in combat, the other blocks your escape!
