One of my favorite small Skyrim mods distributed a wedding ring to random nameless NPCs, most of whom were bandits. Not quite the same, but it still added a little depth to encounters and would usually make me say “oh dammit” when I found one. I wish I could find the damn thing.
That’s the one! Thank you so much! That’s going back into my load order - and I really like the other one you linked. Well, not like, but you understand. Totally going to give that a shot as well.
When you’re sneaking around a ruin and draw your poisoned bow on a bandit’s head only to hear her talk about she hates this life but has to feed her two hungry daughters, it hits differently
A classic, for sure. That’s already in my load order along with a bunch more of his (NPCs react to Invisibility/Necromancy are also good) - JaySerpa does excellent work.
If the bandit had a wedding ring in their inventory, that’s no indication that they are the original owner. You have good odds of avenging the death of whoever they took it off of.
True. I remember one time, though, I’d cleared out Silent Moons Camp and was looting the bodies - I found four or five rings. They couldn’t have ALL stolen them, right? I guess part of the fun is making up your own story. But it made me FEEL something after years of clearing bandit camps (I felt like a monster, but still)
I quite like how Sniper elite handles this. As you are tagging enemies, small snippets about them pop up. So the Nazi you have in your scopes might love jazz music even though it’s illegal, or might draw caricatures of his fellow soldiers that give them some light hearted relief or might have tried out for the ss and failed the medical and takes his anger out on the locals.
It genuinely changes how I play the game. If they seem like they are just someone caught in the Nazi machine I tend to spare them if I can but I make pretty sure to end the true believers.
I had thought about this today. When I was young, I would endlessly draw pictures for my future games. My parents pushed me into a different career path. Now I’m 34, have a child and coding my first game as a hobby. Video games are the media of my generation.
It’s a hobby, honestly I would have never tries but my friend convinced me to just try it. I used the free Gscript starter app and KidsCanCode. Both are excellent resources that are designed to teach basics. Both are free as well and many months later im figuring it out as I go.
Or what if they prefer things other than playing video games? My buddy’s sons really aren’t into video games and he’s one of those dudes who budgets to buy new games.
That is a very healthy way of thinking (though lets discuss again when they play Justin Bieber, romantic adventures themed VR game with tons of buyable accessories and asks you money to buy virtual Justin Bieber signed sneakers to impress some virtual girls)
Let them play them! My son has changed games many times. Sometimes he gets me into something I didn’t like at first but I end up liking because we game together.
