Re: NPC phasing

As I stated earlier. I think most escort quests each lends itself to this idea: the escorted NPC can either become a quest giver, vendor, or both. For example, after rescuing Gilthares Firebough from Northwatch Hold, he can become a vendor next to Captain Brightsun in Ratchet, where he sells potions...

... Original idea of the thread was unlockable NPCs visible after you finish some quest. I assume all players were meant to be in same time dimension. I think that not-always visible NPCs produce same troubles. Like your party member talks to something invisible where nothing actually happening. Th...

Assuming recent popul...

NPC phasing

Hello! My idea to improve immersion is that some NPCs will appear in the world after you help/save them. For example, after you complete WC by killing Mutanus the Devourer and completing the "The Glowing Shard" quest chain, Naralex can be seen next to Falla Sagewind on top of the mountain ...
