If you have ever played Terraria (well, duh, of course you have) then you know what NPCs do. Nothing. Have NPCs walk around the station and base and actually do something, chatting with each other, play recreational games together, eat, drink, sleep, have their own emotes when they're just lounging about, like cleaning their glasses (hi, Blackthorne-fans!), whistle a tune, stretch.. Oh and feel free to chastise me if someone already made a thread on this or if this is a long-gone matter.
As far as I'm aware, there's no other thread like this. OT: I would also appreciate NPc's doing something more than just walking around aimlessly. Just as long as they don't have the (lack of) intelligence to go and open an airlock.
Maybe you're right... and all of the NPCs are evil CYLONS in disguise!! (Haven't watched the series myself either). EDIT: Sorry Luihu, I forgot to like your original post before I first posted.
That would be pretty interisting and very intertaining too! Just random thought but someone would be working on the computers or something like that and it start smoking or they would be electricuted, they would fix the problem shortly after though( mainly so no NPCs die in the funny interactions.)
I'm not sure if this follows what your'e suggesting exactly but as we've heard already, NPCs will have needs that you must fulfill. So, no, I don't think they will be as lazy as they are in Terraria.
