Relationships

[✠ schattenmonster ✠]

Just a suggestion I would love to see in the game. The player should be able to develop a relationship with NPC's they encounter. Perhaps Skyrim-like dialogues would be awesome (no sound needed, perhaps Morrowind is a better example). Just to have a chat window with options to select could let the player choose to have a positive or negetive influence with another sentient being. In addition to becoming friends/allies/followers, marriage could be a fun feature!

Again, just a thought inspired by the game itself.

The devs don't hate it, the players on this forum are just a spirited bunch and like goofing off. Sometimes that gets a little... heated and turns into a full flamey arguement and I use the heat pouring off the enraged neckbeards to cook popcorn while cheering on both sides. It's not a taboo topic at all, it's just you're posting in the crazy end of town, got to expect some insanity to come your way.

I mainly just want more complex NPC interactions besides one line that means nothing (so far). I admit, marriage does seem odd, but one Avian once said to me "Do you think our species could ever find love?" Creepy, I know, as is your own quote (but yours is far worse), but it got me thinking about NPC development. I would like the idea of eventually starting/finding a colony with different people and social classes. Marriage could be a feature bonding different NPC's, though of course I don't mean at an intimate level at all. I think it could be some interesting thing that could potentially even bind alien cultures and policy, but that may be going a bit far. One way or another, like one person mentioned, what's wrong with having an option if you can just refuse it?

Not sure what all the hate is about, I like the idea.

Ok not the marriage part, that is kind of creepy.

But all the NPC's seem to have a nasty distaste for my Hylotle, no matter where I go, no matter how much I trade, no matter how much I fight for them. There was that one Apex woman who said, "Paint me like one of your Floran girls." *Shivers* I still have nightmares about that... Though I respect the referance.

To see NPCs adapt to events and become more friendly or start putting bounties on my head, it would be a welcome change. Escpecially with the lore behind the game itself. The Hylotle and Floran Wars for instance would drive a nasty spike between the two, but why do all other races hate as if we had been at war?

I vote yes to reputations, but vote no to canned dialouge and pixel marriage.

Again, the marriages and such, kind of a stretch, and to me, a strange fetish to fall in love with pixels.

I like the idea of exploring the complex and diverse relationships my Apex banana dealer has with his shady clients. Jesse Chimpman could practically have his own TV show, where he grows bananas in an old RV and his brother in law is MiniKnog...

All right, thanks, I'll keep this in mind. Even so, it could potentially prove an interesting topic for debate, as so many controversial topics do.

That sounds hilarious!

Or you might just see a bunch of 26-ish Americans screaming and throwing feces at eachother because they vehemently disagree with eachother but do not know how to properly express their feelings of righteous frustration or even formulate a logical counter-arguement. Happens all the time around here.

As for my Apex, he's a blatant Breaking Bad refference if you haven't seen the show. I guess my spinnoff would be called Breaking Ape or maybe Going Bananas.

引用自 Tweed：

No, Skyrim-like dialouges would not be awesome, who wants to be married to an android that repeats 2 or 3 sentences other than to use it for a cash shop?

The point is having more complex AI. Even so, 3 lines would be boring, but better than 1 and no social interaction at all. Skyrim-like dialogue would give the player a moral realm of choice in their interactions with NPC's, that's why I suggested it.

Probably the worst forum wars I've seen like this was a morality question of Skyrim's expansion "Dawnguard". It was on whether or not the Vampire Lords or Dawnguard have the higher moral ground! Personally, I see the Dawnguard as morally superior, but hey, let's not get too off track!

How hot is the andriod... because it could work out. :D:

I anticipate this is a joke... Answered literally, the character's in the game are made of pixels. I doubt there will ever be anything like that in the game, even in a mod.

引用自 FrozenPhoenix：

Also true, the galaxy seems to think Hylotle are pompous fat-heads... just because I am, doesn't mean our race is.

My point still stands though.

Racism and prejeduce based on a race's history could prove something interesting when the game is more developed and especially with more interactions.

I enjoy romance in general, so I am wholeheartly behind the idea of building romantic relations or friendship with an NPC. I doubt that something that comlex will be added, however, since the game's main focus on exploration/fighting/building, not player-NPC interraction, and those areas still need a lot of improvement (more objects to find, harder and more complex bosses). I'd still say suggestion like this is worth mentioning, in case if developers decide it'd be a good idea.

Also, despite it not being a game mechanic, you can imagine being in relationship with an NPC who lives in your house, or role-play romantic relationship with your friend's character.

P.S.

Also, to my knowledge developers don't check Steam forum; so you may want to post your suggestion at Suggestions section of the official forums.

"Again, just a thought inspired by the game itself."

I like how people just ignore these bits and flame him. Must be fun.

Is it weird that I thought some of those lines were quite sexual?

[min's brother]

I think this is the last update they should ever think about doing with Starbound, just seem so pointless.. in Starbound that is.

[Margonian]

Isnt they going to add missions given by the villagers and so? I think I recall reading that or something. But I might missheard.
But that would be fun,.
Like, kill bandits that are raiding the village, or hunt and trade in meat to them.
All adding on the relationship with them, making them more friendly.

I personally think its odd that they let me, a Floran, walk freely in their village and just give some remarks on it.
