Projections based on industry data. Not guarantees.

NPC-to-NPC Social Life

Characters interact with each other when you're not watching — gossip, argue, form alliances. The world moves whether you're there or not.

Persistent Memory

Remembers your last visit, what you did, how you treated them. Relationships carry consequences across sessions.

Emergent Opinion

NPCs form views about you based on what they've seen and heard from other characters. Reputation spreads socially, not through flags.
