MadLass.3821 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 So I recently went back to HoT and during the DS meta I was amazed again at what I had forgotten. Seeing the mouth of mordremoth loom over you and start devouring platforms felt truly terrifying and survival insticts kicked in and I became aware of things I hadn't before. So I got thinking, we need more of these scary beasts in the next expansion. And don't worry, I thought of cute quaggans too, we also need more cute NPCs. So I decided to make this poll as I read 5 pages of the forum and didnt see a similar post so sorry if this is repeated cuz I can't read 20 pages in 5 min. But anyway, what are your thoughts for new NPCs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamy Lu.3865 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 For me, there are different types of NPCs:The "background" ones, as in the ones simply wandering around in the different places, without playing a role else than populating (town, camps, home instance...). For those, I would not like more but I would appreciate that the existing ones are more varied. Too often, lot of them are looking exactly the same. It is understandable, but more individualities would be nice.The NPCs with whom we interact in explorable, as in out of storylines instances (merchants, crafting station masters, heart quests, ....): Amount of them is fixed by the requirements. The NPCs we confront in storylines, like the monster OP is talking about: I would prefer more of the cute type, but the terrifying ones are fun too. For that category, I vote both, however with one reserve (personal opinion only): That it does not result in additional and/or longer dialogs of the not-skippable type please. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenom.9457 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Monsters are cool, give us more classics! Many more non ED dragons, phoenixes, various basilisks (I know we have one kind), etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaklex.6308 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Wait, that tiny face on the little PC screen made your survival instincts kick in? I'd have probably had that issue if I was playing on an 80 - 100 foot theater screen, otherwise the size able to be presented on a PC screen, even if you have 30+ inches of pixelation isn't enough to instill fright in me(no matter how much I'm immersed in the game).

Bitterfrost was made bad by their duo presence despite an awesome zone.That's where I disagree. Read up on quaggans and kodan and you will see A: Why quaggans talk the way they do. And B: why they are in the same place as kodans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westenev.5289 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I'm secretly hoping for another horror setting like the Crucible of Eternity. But cutsy is fine too, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
