What the settings can do, is e.g. explaining

- where the rogues come from, what made them roam the hills and raid the docks of Ojaveda so massively,
- who the Brigand is, how he became leader of rogues,
- why the Marfusang, Maulbernauts and "Trepor2" near the Eagles BD area look so diseased but are much stronger (Dark Wanderer involved?)
- how well Gobbles are organised, expecting them being a rather intelligent and surely social race; do they have artists?

and possibly (at most) recommending to AI programmers which kind of reactions a faction to specific groups shall have; for example, I'd find it really funny if players had to chase gobbles when they become "notorious", which may lead them "too" deep into the sewers...

I would say science or crafting but then I remember all the time I have wasted trying to tell an npc what I have done or ask what needs to be done ect. Although this isn't a huge fun factor it makes gamplay more enjoyable (or should i say less frustating) and makes the game more realistic. By the end it shouldn't feel as if we are talking to very dumb robots.
Although this sounds a bit harsh massive kudos to the dev team cus the way npc dialog in PS is set up os Awsome! \\o//

Send me a pm anytime with an npc and something you want them to be able to talk about.

That would be a close tie between science and religion for me but I'd have to go with religion. Science in PS seems to bear far more similarities to RL than religion does.
:P I picked science. I'm still curious about how things would work in detail. I do want to know a lot more about religion too but I figured that through science we may be able to see more info about how the religion would work regardless because in PS religion has a lot to do with God's that have powerful magics.

Personally I would love to see further development in either the political system or history. Why political system? Apparently we have a government in PS, but it seems to be very...hands-off at the moment. Is it democractic? Socialist? Conservative? Liberal? Is there a shadow party to the one that is in charge? what is the political tension like? Will there be a military coup in the works? Is there favouritism to a race? Corrupt, and will greasing the palms of the guards buy you some time...?

You know, the stuff you learn about in school in regards to government systems, etc.

Regarding the political system, have you read the library book about the government of Yliakum? The game currently features two local politicians that you can speak to, and they mention many more. You can learn quite a bit from them, I imagine. Once you do, perhaps you can tell us if there's anything else you'd like to know and put it in the "a request from the settings team" thread. Thanks! :)
