Seems a bit unnatural for a shop keeper to ask people to follow him unless it's just before opening time. You'd think he'd just place fliers to advertise his store. Otherwise keep up the good work!
Wooo, good update! Whenever I hear "tiers" or "progression" it gets me excited about beta again though.
Cant wait to find out what type of equipment we can get from vendors! I am guessing vendors will probably sell mostly equipment that their race has, but possibly also offer other types as well. Also I noticed this text here, which indicates that the npc is going to take advantage of the player, LOL
Wow! I haven't seen this much NPC interaction in a game as far as i can remember. And you guys just started given them a brain. I am excited to see what possibilities you are going to give the people we meet while adventuring! You guys are doing an excellent job at making the game feel alive. I wish more game developers were like you guys. Then we would actually have more brilliant games like this.
It would be awesome if they led you into a trap sometimes. Or you had to build up their trust for them to lead you to a secret place with better stuff!
