Most of the forum members are seasoned RPG players who know what NPC is.
As for the others, as far as I remember, there is a definition of NPC in the manual. I personally think that your explanation would only mislead new RPG players. For some reason the only feeling I experiance now is pity. No shame nor pain.
Come on now DATD there is no reason to be rude to a friend.
Why on earth do you need to feel pity for me?
Is it not true that the Acronym NPC stands for Non-Player Character?
Now you should be smart enough to explain to us that negation and its opposition.
What is the difference between the Player Character and the opposite?
What makes the player character so special?
Take for example Blizzard’s War Craft III, in each episode, you control several characters and many created army forces. How can you explain your conception of player’s characters hence?
The only well-defined difference is control; if you can control a character, it must be a player’s character, and if you may not control it then it is an NPC.
I also cleared the confusion regarding overloading this acronym due to using it to indicate and computer controlled character whether that was through an algorithm or through executing human player generated events. You simply fail to use your logical mind for reasons beyond me my friend.
If it is too hard for you to realise your error and admit it, we should leave it there and there is absolutely no reason for you to hate me or post rude replies.
Cheers.
