    Hello guys!

    I was just thinking about the immersion in Starbound, and I
    realized that NPCs are messed up: why aren't there kids in
    any village? I think the game would be much more immersive
    if kids were implemented in the game.

    What's your opinion about it?

    I think that this wouldn't be hard to implement.
    After all, I think all you must do is make a new sprite, and just have it be put into the random grab-bag of NPC's to put in the village.

    I'm fairly sure this has been suggested before, but I still approve of the idea.

    Yea, Jonesy, I think so too, but none came up when I searched "Kids" using Title Only, so even if he searched, it wouldn't have really done much good.

    If they have the personality of Skyrim children I will massacre them.

    they really should add this. I can already see the adorable baby hylotls walking awkwardly because they're technically tadpoles.
    PREACH IT!
     
  8. Nah, I can only imagine those creepy child centric mods for Fallout 3.

    Also, guys, I forgot.
    What do you think about elders being in the game?

    There's plenty of kids in Starbound! Just join a random server!

    (Also I like the idea!)

    I think the word 'immersive' gets flung about quite a bit, considering we're talking about a 2-D side-scrolling 'retro' (read: graphically lazy) game about going around in space and fighting animals that can literally have a hot dog for a head. Seriously, this game couldn't have immersion if it tried.

    White Knight used Moral High Ground!
    It doesn't affect the wild Troll...
    Wild Troll fled!

    Even if I disagree with all else except his point about immersion, he's still not a troll

    Maybe not, but he sounded an awful lot like he was trying to start an argument

    I think there should be all kinds of NPCs, ideally. Old ones, young ones, rich ones, poor ones, skinny ones, fat ones, REALLY fat ones, and everything inbetween. But realistically that would be a lot of work. I'd be happy if they just added in the old ones and the young ones. They don't need to have anything but the basic personalities, and maybe a few extra lines from the little ones.

    "You smell funny. Hehe!"
    "Can I play with your gun?"
    "My mommy told me not to talk to strangers."
    "You're weird"

    why doesn't somebody just make an immersion mod with more npc features? if it had the stuff that's been suggested on this page I'd pay a few dollars for it.

    It would be funny to 'Q' throw the kid a gun, and he runs off firing it off at the heavens.
