NPCs "for hire"

[Munin]

Threads are being created suggesting the addition of NPCs "for hire" (similar to the Villagers in Minecraft).

There will not be NPCs "for hire" in Valheim.

In regards to quest giving NPCs: Hildir's Quest will be added in the future, confirming the addition of another quest giving NPC similar to Haldor and Hugin.

Are there NPCs for populating a player-built village?

I haven't played since it first came out, sorry.

NPC co-players - PLz.

When will it occur to the developers of games that there are a lot of us players who prefer NPC co-players. Either because we prefer to play "alone", or because you don't have many friends who want to play the same game as you!?

NPC's

i really wish there were NPC villages and NPC villagers that you could raid every now and then and NPC's you could take prisoner and ransom off back to the village its just a thought tho or even more boat types if you're catching my drift because I would like to take animals over to a new island when I set up a a new base maybe even possibly us getting horses at all

Never underestimate what NPC's bring to the table!

Just have a look at Conan Exiles: Funcom constantly expands on their idea of a Thrall system. In the beginning it didn't even have any interaction with them at all. Now, mounted NPC's are in the making where you can lead your own troops against an enemy NPC army raiding your base. With siege!

And you? You just say no to NPC's?! Of course people will keep asking for something similar in Valheim too!

NPC's for hire? Customizable?? Group/troop/army/worker management for village life, base defense, raiding NPC settlements, having sea fights with and against them even???

HECK YEA to ALL of this!!! Wtf are you waiting for devs??? Go for it!!! Grab this idea while its HOT!

More NPC's?

I love the addition of our first NPC and I think the idea should be expanded on. Maybe adding a NPC for each region giving out quests for a small reward. For example grab 30 wood or Grab 20 stone and recieve a reward after. Kill x amount of this enemy. I think it spice the game a bit and give you some sort of goal while playing.

Its a game based in the afterlife, having other people/ghosts as NPCS populating your village would be great, this game is dying slowly

Need NPCs

Would be nice to have Npcs you could place around....

[RedHaze1911]

NPC companions/villagers?

Imagine if you had a couple folks working your farm lands and feeding the pigs when you get home from another advencha! Would be pretty cool eh...?
I know in lore its supposed to be a pretty lonely place. But we have the hildirs and other players anyway, so mayhaps a few friendly companions wouldnt be too outrageous?

More NPC's

I like the new NPC addition it makes the world feel more immersive and alive. I think it would be cool if we had a different in every biome giving out quest and bounties.

I hope this most recent update is but the "Test of concept" for just this! Heres hoping you are right!

Yupp, I would love that. Sometimes I just feel like it's me alone with the monsters. That's what makes games like skyrim so good. There's NPC's, Quest, Guilds, random people just walking around.

I wouldn't expect all that, I know that's a lot of work but they can eventually try to populate the world. Making a quest or bounty hunter NPC in each biome and also some merchants to buy items from would be a nice start.

The poor drauger villagers feeling neglected and unloved. . .just because you CAN kill them doesn't mean you HAVE to. Let them be NPCs!

In all seriousness though, I do hope we see a FEW more in the future. (Can we have a nonaggressive troll?)

I dream of adding npcs to the game. I really like the concept of villages or even small towns where you could build forges, bakeries, etc. But unfortunately, when you play alone, or even with friends, the buildings are empty. It would be possible to populate your village with at least a small number of inhabitants who, for example, could carry out routine tasks more slowly than the player, tend the garden, smelt ore by throwing it into boxes, cook, etc. But this would add life to the settlement and slightly reduce the resource extraction aspect. No one will read this, unfortunately, but trying is not torture...

NPCs Villagers?

will Devs ever add villagers to attack, steal, and like make some slaves for our outpost? i mean, i think the only real think the game is missing is ''population'' around the world, like normal villagers that do their things and have soldiers inside too.
