| Summary | 0003277: NPC Ghosts. | ||||
| Description | This isn't something urgent, but is something I'd like to pursue at some point as we're developing out the story. Mostly when someone is dead, they are dead and gone and that's that. However, in a few cases I think it would be interesting to be able to speak to ghosts. Particularly, this might make sense in the VWW that you recently posited, where time is frozen and thus maybe the spirits of the dead are trapped instead of being able to depart like normal. Anyway, this should be a rare and notable sort of quasi-NPC to be able to talk to, and it's not a type of NPC that can ever become a player character. They would use the new PlayerGhost graphic, and the player would be able to speak to them as if they were regular NPCs. I think that this would be more effective, visually, for the VWW rather than showing any specific character sprites for those involved in the various permutations of the disaster. Something for much later, but wanted to note it down. | ||||

Definitely something to explore. Preliminarily I think I'd limit to some sort of "echo" rather than actual two-way communication with a ghost, but it could be a good place for some very important or moving (or both) bit of text. Indeed, it could be one of the ways in which clues towards the VWW are found. One of the "cracks" in the otherwise nigh-impenetrable wall of mystery between any mere mortal and what really happened, etc. |

Ooh, echoes -- I like that even better, yeah. |

Yep, this is still something we could do at some point in the future, potentially. |
