Message: <blockquote data-quote="pemerton" data-source="post: 8007653" data-attributes="member: 42582">A trap is a static threat.NPCs are not static. The are (in the fiction) human beings with all the complexity and dynamism that implies; and (in the play of the game) characters around whom the action will pivot.And NPCs are opportunities, not threats. That's why one can encounter a warband leader (let's call him Eomer) who is carrying out his sworn duty to detain you, and have the encounter end up in him releasing you with a loan of horses. That's why alies can become enemies (eg Saruman) and enemies allies (eg Magneto).So I think the comparison to traps is not that helpful. In saying this I take myself to be in agreement with some recent posts from FrogReaver, and with some posts further upthread by [USER=6785785]@hawkeyefan[/USER].</blockquote>
