Any Reason Why The Whole Town Can Break Curfew Without Any Problems Except Me?

[jm8080]

Every NPC just walking around at night during curfew and cops doesn't even blink twice while I'm a mile away from a cop and in front of my house and they start getting suspicious.

[Tomibouzu]

they're actually working for the competition and want to keep you from selling.

The person you play as is actually on probation.

Curfew only applies to non-residents of Hyland.

It would be difficult to make this a "concern" for the NPCs without it just affecting you negatively. E.g. the NPCs could just refuse to accept a deal for after midnight, or make the police arrest the NPC if they spot them but either of those options sound pretty bad to me. My immersion would be saved but I'd be annoyed.

for gameplay reasons, it's a video game where you can mix donuts with weed twice to make weed that makes people explode, and you're sticking on that ? :P

I keep seeing this rationale and it’s interesting. Some people give a kind of shoulder shrug to what is considered realistic and some hone in a bit more. Expectations basically.

There’s levels of ‘realistic’ in game design but maybe preference also. If you’re going to implement a mechanic it should make sense within the boundaries of what it is.

Sure you can mix x and y and z happens and the mechanic works and ‘makes sense’ for what it is.

There is curfew and the mechanic works but does it ‘make sense’ for what it is.

whenever you notice stuff like that, a wizard did it

My plan is to keep dealing to Mayor Tobias until he makes me an honary citizen.

It's a small town. Everyone has a father, an uncle, a brother or a neighbor that is a cop. Except you, you just moved there.

You're underage, that's why you're under curfew.

That's not very logical even with said reasoning, because even the loading screen specifically says that "EVERYONE IS LEGALLY REQUIRED" there's a reason why some people see the police reacting to only you breaking curfew but nobody else as immersion breaking.

You’re one of the shoulder shruggers I spoke about. That’s fine too though.

I don't play a video game where you mix weed with horse ♥♥♥ looking for realism
