Helpful NPC phrases
« on: March 18, 2006, 07:37:06 pm »
I have been trying to figure out some of the common phrases for NPC\'s the last few weeks. While I have learned some that most will respond to I was wondering if there are any more that I could use.
I don\'t know if this is to game-specific for the forum, if it is I don\'t mind the thread being closed, but I think it would help some newer players get a better idea of the dialog.
These are some helpful phrases I\'ve found:
Do you have
What do you do?
Tell me about (doesn\'t work on all NPC\'s)
What is this place? (not all NPC\'s)
give me (sometimes this gets a funny response)
What ? (if the word fits in the question you may get a response, Trasok is an example)
How are you?

Any other phrases you\'ve found to help? Or am I wrong in some of these? Let me know (or close the thread) :)

\"mission\" works on all npc\'s in case you are looking for a quest.

Nothing else so far.

Also usually working:

- \"Who are you?\" - not \"how\" this time.
- \"Where am I?\"
- \"Can I help you?\"

- \"Do you have work?\"
- \"Do you need help?
- \"Hello\"
- \"Hey\"
- \"Howdy\"
- \"Hi\"
- \"Bye\"
- \"Goodbye\"
- \"See you\"

Most of those aren\'t exactly helpful but hey, NPC\'s like polite people as well.

Here is the procedure I follow and it worked with 99.9% of the NPCs:
 
- \"Hello\"
- \"Give me a quest\"
If that doesn\'t work I continue with:
- \"About you\"
This will return a storry in wich I try to identify key words.
Then i\'ll try with:
- \"About [keyword]\"
This can convince the NPC to trust you enough and to give you a quest.
Also try to speak in verry simple sentences, even if they don\'t sound right in english.
If some NPC needs something from another, try telling the other NPC \"give me [item name]\", \"I need [item name]\" or \"[NPCname] needs [item name]\".

Happy quest solving ;)

They seem to like that because they tell you to rephrase your sentence, try other similar words, etc ^_^

I believe the subject of the thread is helpful NPC phrases.

\'Give me quest\'
\'Give me job\'
\'Give me [item] \'
\'I want food.\'
\'I want a weapon.\'
\'Who are you?\'

All I ever use, and the odd \'Hello\', \'Goodbye\', \'Give me your clothes/tria\' or \'Can I help you\'

NPC phrases

A very interesting one which turns some surprising responses (but usually the duh response) is when seeking directions.

Ask the NPCs where the dungeons are:  \"Where are the dungeons?\"

Especially after conversing nicely enough to get them to tell you secrets.
