"thA dekMan" Posted September 4, 2002 Posted September 4, 2002 i dunno why they are so concerned about putting a mature rating on the damn game, I mean i'm 16, whatever. But most of the people who are under mature aren't gonna get it because they can't afford it.
Redwing Posted September 6, 2002 Posted September 6, 2002 I agree with the Rodian gripe...their costumes do look like an afterthought. I hate them Will slavery be in the game? I don't mean player characters being enslaved, but will we be able to, say, rescue slaves from slave traders or suchlike?
setsuko Posted September 6, 2002 Posted September 6, 2002 Slavery is out. It's "not what the company want people to associate the game with". Which is ridiculous, slavery excists everywhere, both in the US and in a lesser extent Europe, and in alarger extent, the third world (as a matter of fact, there are more slaves in 2002 than there has ever been in the history of mankind. Mind that many ancient civilizations had slavery as their main source of labour. Gives you a perspective to these things.
"thA dekMan" Posted September 6, 2002 Posted September 6, 2002 i think you should be able to HIRE a butler or something... and let them take care of your house
setsuko Posted September 6, 2002 Posted September 6, 2002 Yes, you will be able to employ persons. At least we're promised to. For instance, NPC bartenders so that you don't have to tend your bar all the time, or NPC storekeeps for your blastorama store. That, however, is not slavery.
Ewok Hunter Posted September 6, 2002 Posted September 6, 2002 you mean that we might need to *gasp* pay them to get them to work. the blasphemy

Ewok Hunter Posted September 9, 2002 Posted September 9, 2002 well, if you only have to pay a large lump sum compared to continous paychecks...
RoyalGuard Posted September 9, 2002 Posted September 9, 2002 hahahaha i would have accepted that from royal guard.... but you? i didnt know you were a slavery kinda person? hey, I resent that remark! oh, no wait I meant I resemble that remark. Ah yes. Hmm. Where was I? Oh yes, paying NPCs, I know you have to pay them in installements at regular intervals, but I don't know what those intervals are. I also think the devs have some nasty and funny AI routines planned for mis-treated NPC shopkeepers.

setsuko Posted September 9, 2002 Posted September 9, 2002 "hey, this blaster is supposed to cost ya 500 creds, but it's not like I care..." It would be interesting if you had to manage the npc's, and choose payment, and whether to pay a fixed amount or percentage of the amount sold. So welltreated npc's would be nicer and more efficient than mistreated ones. It would sure add some colour and playability to the merchant professions! (Mmm... SWG turning into SimMall. I can see it clearly now. And I like what I see! )
Ewok Hunter Posted September 9, 2002 Posted September 9, 2002 well, how much are PCs going to be able to make? it's not like one person can continually produce a wherehouse full of stuff to sell all the time... yeah i like the idea of apying more for better, more effient NPCs...
Lord Helmet Posted September 9, 2002 Posted September 9, 2002 well if npcs have faimlies and they want "flexible" hours you say fine if you work alot here you can have off here....and if they dont accept you find out where they live and kidnap them MUHAAHAHAHA!!...um the family that is.....then when they are kidnapped u hold them for ransom...unless they are wookies.miind you...ANNNNNNNYway...if the ydont comply STILL then u kill off one at a tim...lets hope their safety switch is off ....then take the person who you want to work ...give thema labadame...unless its a mon calmari...or rodian...bastard aliens,,,,THEN you put the metal thing that lando has on his right hand mans head..and order him around with control panel...then hire another npc to control the control panel...and sop on....IM DNOE! DONE!
Lord Helmet Posted September 9, 2002 Posted September 9, 2002 :wstupid: :wstupid: thats in english....if u didn't knowishness
Ewok Hunter Posted September 9, 2002 Posted September 9, 2002 so can you give us the cliffnotes versionof that?
Lord Helmet Posted September 9, 2002 Posted September 9, 2002 well let me seee. i thought was pretty short...hmmm If the Npc doesn't like pay...kidnap family...then kill on e at a time until npc complies..then control npc through device which another npc holds...do the same to that npc's family...and so on.. Better?
RoyalGuard Posted September 10, 2002 Posted September 10, 2002 I think slavery is far more efficient, for example -> Typical Imperial work gang consists of 5 wookies and one slave master (on Maw anyway). This means you only have to keep one NPC happy and well supplied with force whips to get the productivity of 5 NPCs! Hail Palpatine! Long may his vision and wisdom shape economic policy!
