Just for NPCs to jostle about or come up with a few stock phrases when you interact with them, and for there to be a little more freedom in where you can and can't go in the game world.ĭrop the weapon(s)! – Reduce the weapon count What's more, games set in wildernesses or in worlds where all you ever encounter are aliens can get away with this but in a game world that is constantly filled with supposedly normal human beings it is completely game breaking.
