DM Wish List
Return To Top       

Just a bit of fun, nothing specifically to do with NWN2, I'm not interested in discussing the technicalities of coding and game mechanics over what is and what isn't practical, since this is a wish list. But by all means, discuss those aspects if you like, I'm sure it'll pop up if this thread catches any interest.

Now let's see, I'll start, NPCs are a big issue as far as I'm concerened. I haven't tried the new NWN2 DMC yet, so I can only talk with regards to NWN1, but I always find controlling multiple NPCs rather arkward.

Rather than having to posses and unposses, I'd like a function that allows you to simply click on an NPC and choose a text box, you can type in what you want to have them say and then click on another NPC for their response, so that when the PCs come across 2 or more NPCs having a dicussion or argument, there is no arkward pause between characters and I don't have to type so fast that the words get jumbled.

And in addition to this, I could also use the emote wand on them inbetween, almost instantly, while they talk so there is no long gap between actions and dialogue.

And if there was also a patrol option when you click an NPC, like waypoints already there to setup on the spot, some guards patrolling the area could turn up outside the city wall or whatever just as the PCs return.

NPCs are all that come to mind right now, but there are others things of course.

Perhaps some of these things are already possible, maybe even in effect and I missed them somewhere, but I think most of us would like more control over such things as gamemasters, so we can tell the stories so much better, in a visual sense that is.

So, what do you guys wish to see?

Anything I'd like to see, I build or script into NWN.
