If you invest points into schematics, which are technology, you'll align yourself more with all technological people by the values of the meter. If you can cast a lot of different spells, you'll have a magick meter.

 ## Technology: advantages & schematics
 
-When your meter is fully tech-aligned, you'll encounter little problems which are quite annoying. Some examples: Virgil, the magickal aligned NPC which casts heal, will not be able to heal you anymore since those spells don't affect you at all. Very nice armor e.d. which have greatly increased AC for magickal users, will be as good as useless to you. Magickal smiths won't sell anything to you anymore. Not bad you think, you won't be able to use his stuff anyway? Wrong; you'll encounter a lot of magickal platemals which are useless but you NEED money and magickal smiths are the only ones who actually buy that stuff.
-Conclusion: tech makes the game more difficult troughout 1) equipment and 2) money. The Third thing is damage.

 Yes indeed, damage. There aren't many technological weapons, and if there are any good ones, they won't be enchanted because enchanting is magick. So, the only option you'll have left are guns. And that means carrying a LOT of bullets which cost a LOT of money and not being able to damage a lot per round in combat.

 Of course no console or handheld's RPG collection is truly complete without any [Final Fantasy](/tags/final-fantasy) spin-off or port. The Japanese GBA library today includes FF I and II: Dawn of Souls, FF IV, FF V and FF VI. The last one will be released within a few months in the USA. The only missing Final Fantasy number is III, which is ported and recreated to the DS. I and II are bundled together in a complete package. But this package is mostly for FF lovers out there, because the game lacks pacing and the battle sequences are ridiculously easy compared to other Squaresoft games. IV suffers from little annoying glitches, the port is not so well-polished as we had hoped. 
 
-This leaves us with V and VI. Most people would probably agree VI is the superiour one and one of the best FF games in the series. But you can't play it yet on your GBA unless you're Japanese. Final Fantasy V includes a complex job system first introduced in III, similar to Final Fantasy Tactics. You can swap jobs and keep certain special abilities, this enables you to build the ultimate magic swordsman. Good enough for more than 30 hours of handheld Roleplaying goodness. If you're looking for a handheld FF game, V is the game to get.

 Two Fire Emblem games made it to the Gameboy Advance, and even Europe (woah! We get something good...) and one recently to the Nintendo Gamecube. Because of the overall lacking Strategy RPG games on the GBA, FE was more than welcome and [it shows](http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/468480.asp?q=fire%20emblem). Both games are excellent and very well suited for mobile gaming, although some missions tend to be quite long. Thank you sleep mode. Sacred stones is arguably an overall better game due to the small class tweaks but it's a lot harder than the first GBA game. 
 
-Developing your main assault team is one of the highlights of the game. It's so satisfactional to transform a regular soldier into a sword master **+33% critical hits**? Hell yeah! But watch out though: once a character dies, you won't be seeing that one in the future: once dead always gone. Choosing between both games can be difficult, but I'd be safe to say both are very good GBA picks. If you never played any Fire Emblem game before, pick up the regular one (**Fire Emblem**, without the subtitle. In Japan, more than 4 FE games were released on SNES and sadly never translated).

 One of the underdog highlights of the whole Gameboy Advance library is without a doubt Atlus' Tactics Ogre: Knights of Lodis. Before we continue to hail the game, let's straighten up one thing: No, it's not better than Tactics Ogre: Let us Cling Together. But yes, it's one of the best time-soaking GBA games. Especially if you love turn-based Strategy RPGs or like to customize your characters. Sadly, the game was never published in Europe, but I doubt that would dramatically increase the game sales. It's one of those freaky **hardcore** in-it or lose-it games. 
 
-There is so much unseen depth kindly weaven into the game it almost blows my mind. You basically play it like any other Strategy RPG game: by taking turns and eliminating the enemy troops. But on the way you can cast devious spells to distract distant enemies or hire hawkmen to swiftly fly over hills, positioning them out of range and firing arrows without taking any hits. The only downside about TO is the overall slow gameplay: movement animations advance kind of slow and playing just one battle can easily take up to two hours. That's also an advantage of course.

 And then there's Final Fantasy Tactics Advance (FFTA). As you can see, the game borrows most of the graphics and gameplay mechanics directly from TO (no wonder, most of the team members were shifted onto developing FFTA). Indeed, FFTA mostly plays the same (yay!) but Squaresoft managed to screw up the gameplay real good by adding judges and judge cards (nay!). For instance, after entering a battle, there's a card which says "**Forbidden Bladed weapons**". If someone (including the enemy) attacks using a sword or katana, you'll get a yellow card. After 2 yellow cards you get thrown into jail and your buddies can go bribe you out. Fascinatingly frustrating, especially on missions where enemies are beasts and there's a "**Forbidden beast damage**" card.

-Sting's GBA debut, [Riviera: The Promised Land](/tags/riviera), is in it's heart a Strategy Roleplaying game. But it utilizes some very weird and uncommon gameplay mechanics - that's not directly a bad thing. Once on a mission, you travel through many set scenes without directly controlling the protagonist. How's that? Say you landed on a deep forest. There are 4 "**actions**" to do: **Look at grass**, **Go North/East** and **Open Chest**. By executing one of those actions you lose action points (which can obviously be refilled). The grass may reveal a hidden item, but may contain a poisonous snake. Same story for the chest. This makes Riviera very liniar (there are some secret places all right) but at the same time makes the game more enjoyable for a handheld system to play in quick bursts.

 Once you've entered the battlefield, you can assign up to four members to fight (north/east/south/west) and up to four items to fight with. Every time you use an item, the item's durability counter decreases by one. If the counter hits zero, the item is gone forever. That sounds quite awkward and it really is: don't directly use all your powerful items before any boss encounter! The bad part about the whole item stuff is you can only carry 30 items at a time and you cannot sell any of them! In towns, navigation is the same as the missions, with unlimited action points. 
 
-On the other hand, there's the very recent Yggdra Union: We'll Never Fight Alone Strategy RPG game, also from Sting, published by our God Atlus. The game is a Tactical RPG in the vein of the Fire Emblem games, with an overhead view of a 2D map, managing miniture versions of your units. However, aside from the map view, it is quite different. A card system dictating your movement and potential skills plays into both enemy and ally turns, as well as the "Union" formation system, in which massive battles can take place between several platoons.

One of the strongest points of the Golden Sun series is the strongly embedded puzzle aspect of the game.
 
 Many of these puzzles revolve heavily around the usage of the game’s resident form of magic spells, "**Psynergy.**". Whereas most other RPGs limit the usage of their forms of magic to battles as offensive and defensive measures, Psynergy spells can be used both for battle and for solving puzzles in the game’s locales. By far the most important element in Golden Sun to differentiate it from other RPGs is the collecting and manipulation of magical creatures called Djinn. These Djinn creatures can be found everywhere in the Golden Sun world and can severely change your battle strategies, as you can of course use them to empower your Psynergy spells during fights.
 
-The Golden Sun games met really strong reviews. Many praised the game's vibrant graphics, high-quality sound, and varied, refined RPG gameplay, with particular optimism on the Djinn-based gameplay system and Battle aspect. Of course all Sting games include far more superiour graphics and sound, but Golden Sun was released five years ago and still plays strong.

And it is: carrying a bedroll will enable you to rest out in the wilderness. You can also grab various types of food, normally only used for display purposes. Every single closet has an interesting item for you, with some value to it. Libraries contain enourmous amounths of books (or rather scrolls), which are interesting to read. Baldur's Gate 2 enabled you to learn about the game's history via these very same scrolls. Too bad DivDiv's randomized content system didn't work out very well since most stuff was severly underpowered.

 In contrast, there are more than enough recent RPGs which kindly ignore the "careful item placement" concept. One example might be Troika's Temple of Elemental Evil. I love exploring towns and houses, but this game laughed at me while I repeatedly tried to open some closets or chests next to beds. You simply can't open them! They are part of the background. Yes there still are chests enough in dungeons, and ToEE is mainly a dungeon RPG since most of the time will be spent in the Temple. But still...

 ### Scripted or Randomized content?
 
-Generating randomized content could be done, but most games failed using this technique. Let's take a look at Sacred, for example. Most Hack & Slash games strongly favour randomized content - and there's nothing wrong with that. Sacred includes, like most other games, class-specific items. "Oh good!". Yes indeed, unless you keep on encountering Paladin armor if you are playing as a Dark Elf. These parameters should at least be used while generating items, although obviously not while playing a multiplayer game. Well, that's not the worst part, you can simply sell items you cannot equip, right? Right. But what to do with all that gold? Buy new items you can equip! Right. Unless the weapon store constantly restocks with low level items. I used a dual bladed weapon for 20 levels straight, because all encountered shops stocked junk and all items in various containers were unusable.

-Neverwinter Nights also uses scripts to generate container contents. Most boxes or low level chests placed in towns or area's contain generic non-interesting equipment, also found in normal stores. The most powerful items are set items, as always. BioWare too seems to have embraced the randomized content technique: see the Infinite Dungeons module. In Wizardry 8, almost every chest containts randomly generated items, but this principle is done slightly different. Every chest has a limited amounth of set items with a possibility percentage. Upon entering the area, the content is generated by picking items from this list. This method prevents every non-set chest from containing the same "junk items". Many of the most powerful weapons can be found in these chests, if you are lucky (Rapax King's Chest, Davy Jones Locker, ...)

-Console Roleplaying games typically endorse placement of less items in better context. Especially with the old but still mainly present Overworld system, you won't find anything of interest there, except in a very limited amounth of set chests. Dragon Quest VIII for example delivers a solid job creating busy and beatiful towns with many hidden items to discover in closets and vases. But once you explore further and exit the town, the overworld has almost nothing to offer, except set chests in semi-hidden locations and monster drops. Utilizing a little too high randomized battle rate, chest hunting can get very frustrating.

And every item aquired this way comes from the same item pool, meaning most stuff is useless. All best equipment pieces are again set items...

-An NPC is basically a character not controlled by the player, who can be of great importance during the many main or side quests. NPCs vary in importance and placement: they can either be annoying and usesless or interesting and useful. Many Roleplaying games only give the most important NPCs something useful to say or do. Talking to other characters makes no sense since they only answer with one of the standard sentences: "oh, you're the princess!" or "good weather, isn't it?". This concept destroys the whole roleplaying experience since it transforms roleplaying into trying to find the right character to chat with, without any interest to other local inhabitants.

 Everyone probably already encountered a couple of NPCs just standing there, doing nothing. When you talk to them, they respond with "hiya stranger". When you talk to them again, they repeat that exact same sentence. After the tenth time of "hiya stranger" you begin to wonder whether the person was on drugs or not. What is the purpose of this NPC? Exactly: a useless object to fill the otherwise void space. Players can enjoy a "guess who holds the quest" puzzle. Things get even worse when each NPC is called "stranger x" or "villager y". This does not give them any personality and give you even less reasons to replay the game since the living world feels artificial and dead. There's a difficult balance to be kept within a city full of NPCs: do you want extreme activity but soulless beings or a less crowded area, where everyone has their own personality and interesting story?
 
-Labelling NPCs in a RPG can also be quite challenging. In Sacred for instance, people actually bearing a quest (defined useful) have an exclamation mark floating above their head. "Good, no more randomly clicking on stupid inhabitants, right!"? Yes and no. If this system was to be implemented in non-hack & slash games, everyone would ignore all other NPCs. And what is the purpose of a less imporant NPC anyway?

 Especially on console RPGs, it can get very frustrating to wander around town, talking to everyone to try and finish your quest. Baten Kaitos includes a subquest where you must find all relatives of a family, in order to bring them together before the grandfather dies. Members are gathered by putting their signature on a family tree so you'll need to find them, and talk to them. If you want to finish the quest, you are forced to chat with every single NPC in the game since family members cannot be separated from other non-interesting NPCs by clothes. Auch.

-It's very easy to implement a shield which renders quest NPCs immortal. Of course, how else can you finish the quest if you killed the person to deliver item x or get goods y? That's one way, but not the acceptible way. Roleplaying - yeah right. If you decide to attack your quest related person, you may do so. One of the consequences could be unable to finish the quest (if it's a side quest of course). Another better one would be to include different ways to tackle this obstacle. If you kill the NPC, everyone will turn hostile or run or just ignore you depending on their parameters (easily offended or threatened, easily scared, drunk, ...). The NPC will leave his quest item for you to collect, if you managed to get rid of everyone else. There could be a high level relative, standing next to the killed person, who frenzies if you hurt the NPC. Ha!

-This Oblivion footage shows exactly what direction developers should not take. A non playable character should react on your actions properly and maybe even fight you. There's an interesting interview with an ex-Troika employee, explaining the different philosophies behind NPC placement and (re)actions. The bottom line? Every NPC should have a purpose to be there, and every NPC should have something non-liniar and interesting to say.

 Other mechanics which greatly unbalance the importance of various NPCs include voice acting. It's good to have voice acting, but it's better to let everyone talk instead of only the main quest characters. You'll more easily ignore non-voiced ones. I do know this is very hard to realize. There's so much to be said about wandering characters in quiet towns.
 
-Interaction with those people are mostly done throughout a limited series of questions. You can select one (which might alter his personal reaction, or even attack you, the classic Dungeons & Dragons way) and the NPC will react to that selected question. The questions are usually built depending on the active quests. You can't possibly ask something about a stone mask if you did not start that quest first. Although this limited interaction technique is even being used in new Roleplaying games (including Mass Effect), these have their own problems.

What does he know about your previous boss encounter? etc. One of the early Final Fantasy games introduced a system in which you can store key words said by NPCs, and ask about them to others.

 Wizardry VII introduced a nice system which allowed players to literally type in their questions. Typing "rapax" would give you information about the rapax, including the NPCs personal opinion about this race. If you type "where are rapax" the person would give you directions. This even worked beyond these simple questions. For instance, you ask a Trynnie about a forgotten monastery. He tells you it belonged to the Higardi but they left a long time ago. "In fact I ste... eurhm, got most of my stuff from them". Ha, the little bastard! You type in "steal" and he replies "technically it's only stealing when you get caught". (screenshot) Beautiful! Now this is interaction. Even using rude or aggressive words like "bastard" or "kill" would net you a funny reply. Wizardry 8 even took this concept a step higher. You can see some interaction with Rattus and Rapax in the Gameplay video.

 <li>Unless you're looking to fight as many battles as possible, don't camp too casually after every encounter.

You can also click on the camping screen to "wake" your party members. Sometimes they only need a 1-2 hour catnap (hehe especially for felpurrs) to recover fully.</li>
 <li>When you try to pickpocket and it says that there's no more items on the target, just ignore it and continue pickpocketing, you'll see that there's much more stuff to get. Always pickpocket until it says there's no more items for 5 straight times.</li>
 Too much stuff? Party dragging their packs around on the ground, your mage can barely lift her spellbook and everyone goes slo-mo in combat? Try storing your stuff in Arnika.. Since no one on Dominus *ever* sleeps, you can use the chest in Antone's bedroom, items never disappear when you leave an area...</li>
 <li>Leave auto-save on, and use quick save as often as possible! It'll save your butt more than once.
 To train your bard's music skill, take the viola in Arnika inn and charm npcs as much as possible (not the rapax as it may attack you if you fail).When you are out of stamina, rest and disturb quickly and your stamina is back! About 2-3 rest to gain a skill point.With about 2days of game time my lv 1 bard (previous rogue) has a music skill of 65.....</li>

 Yes indeed, damage. There aren&rsquo;t many technological weapons, and if there are any good ones, they won&rsquo;t be enchanted because enchanting is magick. So, the only option you&rsquo;ll have left are guns. And that means carrying a LOT of bullets which cost a LOT of money and not being able to damage a lot per round in combat.</p>

 <p>Of course no console or handheld&rsquo;s RPG collection is truly complete without any <a href="/tags/final-fantasy">Final Fantasy</a> spin-off or port. The Japanese GBA library today includes FF I and II: Dawn of Souls, FF IV, FF V and FF VI. The last one will be released within a few months in the USA. The only missing Final Fantasy number is III, which is ported and recreated to the DS. I and II are bundled together in a complete package. But this package is mostly for FF lovers out there, because the game lacks pacing and the battle sequences are ridiculously easy compared to other Squaresoft games. IV suffers from little annoying glitches, the port is not so well-polished as we had hoped.</p>

You can swap jobs and keep certain special abilities, this enables you to build the ultimate magic swordsman. Good enough for more than 30 hours of handheld Roleplaying goodness.

 <p>Two Fire Emblem games made it to the Gameboy Advance, and even Europe (woah! We get something good&hellip;) and one recently to the Nintendo Gamecube. Because of the overall lacking Strategy RPG games on the GBA, FE was more than welcome and <a href="http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/468480.asp?q=fire%20emblem">it shows</a>.

 <p>One of the underdog highlights of the whole Gameboy Advance library is without a doubt Atlus&rsquo; Tactics Ogre: Knights of Lodis. Before we continue to hail the game, let&rsquo;s straighten up one thing: No, it&rsquo;s not better than Tactics Ogre: Let us Cling Together. But yes, it&rsquo;s one of the best time-soaking GBA games. Especially if you love turn-based Strategy RPGs or like to customize your characters. Sadly, the game was never published in Europe, but I doubt that would dramatically increase the game sales. It&rsquo;s one of those freaky <strong>hardcore</strong> in-it or lose-it games.</p>
 
-<p>There is so much unseen depth kindly weaven into the game it almost blows my mind. You basically play it like any other Strategy RPG game: by taking turns and eliminating the enemy troops. But on the way you can cast devious spells to distract distant enemies or hire hawkmen to swiftly fly over hills, positioning them out of range and firing arrows without taking any hits. The only downside about TO is the overall slow gameplay: movement animations advance kind of slow and playing just one battle can easily take up to two hours. That&rsquo;s also an advantage of course.</p>

The only downside about TO is the overall slow gameplay: movement animations advance kind of slow and playing just one battle can easily take up to two hours. That&rsquo;s also an advantage of course.</p>
 
 <p>And then there&rsquo;s Final Fantasy Tactics Advance (FFTA). As you can see, the game borrows most of the graphics and gameplay mechanics directly from TO (no wonder, most of the team members were shifted onto developing FFTA). Indeed, FFTA mostly plays the same (yay!) but Squaresoft managed to screw up the gameplay real good by adding judges and judge cards (nay!). For instance, after entering a battle, there&rsquo;s a card which says &ldquo;<strong>Forbidden Bladed weapons</strong>&rdquo;. If someone (including the enemy) attacks using a sword or katana, you&rsquo;ll get a yellow card. After 2 yellow cards you get thrown into jail and your buddies can go bribe you out. Fascinatingly frustrating, especially on missions where enemies are beasts and there&rsquo;s a &ldquo;<strong>Forbidden beast damage</strong>&rdquo; card.</p>

 <center>Yggdra Union and Riviera: The Promised Land</center></p>
 
-<p>Sting&rsquo;s GBA debut, <a href="/tags/riviera">Riviera: The Promised Land</a>, is in it&rsquo;s heart a Strategy Roleplaying game. But it utilizes some very weird and uncommon gameplay mechanics - that&rsquo;s not directly a bad thing. Once on a mission, you travel through many set scenes without directly controlling the protagonist. How&rsquo;s that? Say you landed on a deep forest. There are 4 &ldquo;<strong>actions</strong>&rdquo; to do: <strong>Look at grass</strong>, <strong>Go North/East</strong> and <strong>Open Chest</strong>. By executing one of those actions you lose action points (which can obviously be refilled). The grass may reveal a hidden item, but may contain a poisonous snake. Same story for the chest. This makes Riviera very liniar (there are some secret places all right) but at the same time makes the game more enjoyable for a handheld system to play in quick bursts.</p>

 <p>Once you&rsquo;ve entered the battlefield, you can assign up to four members to fight (north/east/south/west) and up to four items to fight with. Every time you use an item, the item&rsquo;s durability counter decreases by one. If the counter hits zero, the item is gone forever. That sounds quite awkward and it really is: don&rsquo;t directly use all your powerful items before any boss encounter! The bad part about the whole item stuff is you can only carry 30 items at a time and you cannot sell any of them! In towns, navigation is the same as the missions, with unlimited action points.</p>
 
-<p>On the other hand, there&rsquo;s the very recent Yggdra Union: We&rsquo;ll Never Fight Alone Strategy RPG game, also from Sting, published by our God Atlus. The game is a Tactical RPG in the vein of the Fire Emblem games, with an overhead view of a 2D map, managing miniture versions of your units. However, aside from the map view, it is quite different. A card system dictating your movement and potential skills plays into both enemy and ally turns, as well as the &ldquo;Union&rdquo; formation system, in which massive battles can take place between several platoons.</p>

 <p>Both games are quite different than traditional SRPG handheld or console games and both games have the same extremely high quality audio and amazingly done sprite work. If you&rsquo;re looking for something different than Fire Emblem, but still utilizing the same core thoughts, definitely consider Yggdra Union.</p>

 <center>Golden Sun 1 and 2: the Lost Age.</center></p>
 
-<p>Camelot&rsquo;s attempt on a traditional/retro console Roleplaying game was very Enthusiasticly received back in 2001. Golden Sun is in essence a contemporary presentation of the traditional console role-playing game formula, where the player guides a cast of four characters as they journey through a fantasy-themed game world and interact with various Non playing Characters. Golden Sun also &ldquo;<strong>features</strong>&rdquo; random battles (good or not), just like the Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest series. One of the strongest points of the Golden Sun series is the stronly embedded puzzle aspect of the game.</p>

One of the strongest points of the Golden Sun series is the strongly embedded puzzle aspect of the game.</p>
 
 <p>Many of these puzzles revolve heavily around the usage of the game’s resident form of magic spells, &ldquo;<strong>Psynergy.</strong>&rdquo;. Whereas most other RPGs limit the usage of their forms of magic to battles as offensive and defensive measures, Psynergy spells can be used both for battle and for solving puzzles in the game’s locales. By far the most important element in Golden Sun to differentiate it from other RPGs is the collecting and manipulation of magical creatures called Djinn. These Djinn creatures can be found everywhere in the Golden Sun world and can severely change your battle strategies, as you can of course use them to empower your Psynergy spells during fights.</p>
 
-<p>The Golden Sun games met really strong reviews. Many praised the game&rsquo;s vibrant graphics, high-quality sound, and varied, refined RPG gameplay, with particular optimism on the Djinn-based gameplay system and Battle aspect. Of course all Sting games include far more superiour graphics and sound, but Golden Sun was released five years ago and still plays strong.</p>

 <p>In contrast, there are more than enough recent RPGs which kindly ignore the &ldquo;careful item placement&rdquo; concept. One example might be Troika&rsquo;s Temple of Elemental Evil. I love exploring towns and houses, but this game laughed at me while I repeatedly tried to open some closets or chests next to beds. You simply can&rsquo;t open them! They are part of the background. Yes there still are chests enough in dungeons, and ToEE is mainly a dungeon RPG since most of the time will be spent in the Temple. But still&hellip; The temple itself contains many large area&rsquo;s with cupboards and other interesting objects. All part of the pre-rendered background. There goes my <a href="/tags/baldurs-gate-2/">Baldur&rsquo;s Gate</a>-style exploring addiction. Even in all other Infinity Engine games, you could open drawers or check barrels.</p>
 
-<p>Of course it would be impossible to place interesting and relevant items in all houses, spread across all towns, especially in very large worlds like Amn. Waukeen&rsquo;s Promenade in Athkatla has enough nearly empty houses. But every house is still accessible, and every house contains at least one container, with set loot. A couple of gold coins, some potions or sometimes even gems. This makes visiting non-interesting area&rsquo;s worthwile. At least for me.</p>

-<p>Generating randomized content could be done, but most games failed using this technique. Let&rsquo;s take a look at Sacred, for example.

Yes indeed, unless you keep on encountering Paladin armor if you are playing as a Dark Elf. These parameters should at least be used while generating items, although obviously not while playing a multiplayer game. Well, that&rsquo;s not the worst part, you can simply sell items you cannot equip, right? Right. But what to do with all that gold? Buy new items you can equip! Right. Unless the weapon store constantly restocks with low level items. I used a dual bladed weapon for 20 levels straight, because all encountered shops stocked junk and all items in various containers were unusable.</p>

-<p>Neverwinter Nights also uses scripts to generate container contents. Most boxes or low level chests placed in towns or area&rsquo;s contain generic non-interesting equipment, also found in normal stores. The most powerful items are set items, as always. BioWare too seems to have embraced the randomized content technique: see the Infinite Dungeons module. In Wizardry 8, almost every chest containts randomly generated items, but this principle is done slightly different. Every chest has a limited amounth of set items with a possibility percentage. Upon entering the area, the content is generated by picking items from this list. This method prevents every non-set chest from containing the same &ldquo;junk items&rdquo;. Many of the most powerful weapons can be found in these chests, if you are lucky (Rapax King&rsquo;s Chest, Davy Jones Locker, &hellip;)</p>

-<p>An NPC is basically a character not controlled by the player, who can be of great importance during the many main or side quests. NPCs vary in importance and placement: they can either be annoying and usesless or interesting and useful. Many Roleplaying games only give the most important NPCs something useful to say or do. Talking to other characters makes no sense since they only answer with one of the standard sentences: &ldquo;oh, you&rsquo;re the princess!&rdquo; or &ldquo;good weather, isn&rsquo;t it?&rdquo;. This concept destroys the whole roleplaying experience since it transforms roleplaying into trying to find the right character to chat with, without any interest to other local inhabitants.</p>

 <p>Everyone probably already encountered a couple of NPCs just standing there, doing nothing. When you talk to them, they respond with &ldquo;hiya stranger&rdquo;. When you talk to them again, they repeat that exact same sentence. After the tenth time of &ldquo;hiya stranger&rdquo; you begin to wonder whether the person was on drugs or not. What is the purpose of this NPC? Exactly: a useless object to fill the otherwise void space. Players can enjoy a &ldquo;guess who holds the quest&rdquo; puzzle. Things get even worse when each NPC is called &ldquo;stranger x&rdquo; or &ldquo;villager y&rdquo;. This does not give them any personality and give you even less reasons to replay the game since the living world feels artificial and dead. There&rsquo;s a difficult balance to be kept within a city full of NPCs: do you want extreme activity but soulless beings or a less crowded area, where everyone has their own personality and interesting story?</p>
 
-<p>Labelling NPCs in a RPG can also be quite challenging. In Sacred for instance, people actually bearing a quest (defined useful) have an exclamation mark floating above their head. &ldquo;Good, no more randomly clicking on stupid inhabitants, right!&rdquo;? Yes and no. If this system was to be implemented in non-hack &amp; slash games, everyone would ignore all other NPCs. And what is the purpose of a less imporant NPC anyway?</p>

 <p>Especially on console RPGs, it can get very frustrating to wander around town, talking to everyone to try and finish your quest. Baten Kaitos includes a subquest where you must find all relatives of a family, in order to bring them together before the grandfather dies. Members are gathered by putting their signature on a family tree so you&rsquo;ll need to find them, and talk to them. If you want to finish the quest, you are forced to chat with every single NPC in the game since family members cannot be separated from other non-interesting NPCs by clothes. Auch.</p>

There&rsquo;s an interesting interview with an ex-Troika employee, explaining the different philosophies behind NPC placement and (re)actions. The bottom line? Every NPC should have a purpose to be there, and every NPC should have something non-liniar and interesting to say.</p>

 <p>Other mechanics which greatly unbalance the importance of various NPCs include voice acting. It&rsquo;s good to have voice acting, but it&rsquo;s better to let everyone talk instead of only the main quest characters. You&rsquo;ll more easily ignore non-voiced ones. I do know this is very hard to realize. There&rsquo;s so much to be said about wandering characters in quiet towns.</p>

What does he know about your previous boss encounter? etc. One of the early Final Fantasy games introduced a system in which you can store key words said by NPCs, and ask about them to others.

 <p>Wizardry VII introduced a nice system which allowed players to literally type in their questions. Typing &ldquo;rapax&rdquo; would give you information about the rapax, including the NPCs personal opinion about this race. If you type &ldquo;where are rapax&rdquo; the person would give you directions. This even worked beyond these simple questions. For instance, you ask a Trynnie about a forgotten monastery. He tells you it belonged to the Higardi but they left a long time ago. &ldquo;In fact I ste&hellip; eurhm, got most of my stuff from them&rdquo;. Ha, the little bastard! You type in &ldquo;steal&rdquo; and he replies &ldquo;technically it&rsquo;s only stealing when you get caught&rdquo;. (screenshot) Beautiful! Now this is interaction. Even using rude or aggressive words like &ldquo;bastard&rdquo; or &ldquo;kill&rdquo; would net you a funny reply. Wizardry 8 even took this concept a step higher. You can see some interaction with Rattus and Rapax in the Gameplay video.</p>

This is the only way I've found to recharge items. You will lose a bit of money on the deal, of course, because vendors like to "buy low, sell high". How much depends on the vendor and your communications skill. Note: there are some items that you shouldn't use the last charge from, or the item will disappear (mana stones).

Also, a ninja, bard and gadgeteer all have the locks & traps skill. And there are +10/20% skill items in the game usable by non-skill-enabled professions.</li>
 <li>Unless you're looking to fight as many battles as possible, don't camp too casually after every encounter. While you rest, monsters are still walking about, and new ones enter the region (i.e. they 'spawn')... Sometimes the roads will be overrun with bandit spawns, so keep your eyes out! You can also click on the camping screen to "wake" your party members. Sometimes they only need a 1-2 hour catnap (hehe especially for felpurrs) to recover fully.</li>
 <li>When you try to pickpocket and it says that there's no more items on the target, just ignore it and continue pickpocketing, you'll see that there's much more stuff to get. Always pickpocket until it says there's no more items for 5 straight times.</li>
 Too much stuff? Party dragging their packs around on the ground, your mage can barely lift her spellbook and everyone goes slo-mo in combat? Try storing your stuff in Arnika.. Since no one on Dominus *ever* sleeps, you can use the chest in Antone's bedroom, items never disappear when you leave an area...</li>
 <li>Leave auto-save on, and use quick save as often as possible! It'll save your butt more than once.
 To train your bard's music skill, take the viola in Arnika inn and charm npcs as much as possible (not the rapax as it may attack you if you fail).When you are out of stamina, rest and disturb quickly and your stamina is back! About 2-3 rest to gain a skill point.With about 2days of game time my lv 1 bard (previous rogue) has a music skill of 65.....</li>

 <li>Many people prefer disabling spells over damage spells in this game, because most of the parties I see are heavily melee-oriented. In a melee-oriented party part of the goal is to get close to the enemy to beat them down. Because of that goal, disabling spells are almost always a better option as they make situations safer, faster and more reliable. Damage spells tend to do much better when you have all spell-casters in your group (or very close)</li>
 <li>Watch out with the search option on: enemies will surprise you easier! Cast detect secrets or recruit a ranger (scouting).</li>
 <li>When shopping, often the store lists become disordered. You can fix that by simply selling a single item. The list is back in proper shape after the sale.

-An NPC is basically a character not controlled by the player, who can be of great importance during the many main or side quests. NPCs vary in importance and placement: they can either be annoying and usesless or interesting and useful. Many Roleplaying games only give the most important NPCs something useful to say or do. Talking to other characters makes no sense since they only answer with one of the standard sentences: &ldquo;oh, you&rsquo;re the princess!
