Or Karlach cosplaying as Astarion.

Everything would get overrun by fake users and no one would feel like they’re really interacting with real people -even if they are- because all the trust would be gone. It’s just not worth it.

It’s very similar to a clickbait article. I mean, it worked because I clicked on it to see what people said, but man, that title is super corporate.

“No, we’re proud to have a zero tolerance policy at this school. That means we don’t have to investigate if a game involves gambling or if fights are truly fights rather than attacks. Everyone is punished equally. It’s very fair.”

A company’s phone bot actually able to answer my questions properly? I’ve never seen it happen. You gotta scream the word “representative” multiple times or else it would put you through loops of utter nonsense. You can’t say it at a polite volume or else it will ignore it. You can’t just say it once because it will “argue” with you that it knows how to do things faster, which is never really the case.

I definitely don’t want to rely on them too much, otherwise the game will become mostly going to a market. That being said, I do like the idea of using the night market to introduce different NPCs that would be useful to the players later on even if there’s not an immediate story arc that plays out.

Same, even though I still use a lot of splat books from 2020 and just imagine how things would be similar/different in 2045.

If their song went viral, it would be funny to make a running gag that the random fans you encounter for the next week who like the song are not the usual target audience of the band at all and only know that one song.

Example: A local hardcore band releases a song criticizing the NCPD, and the song becomes viral. Suddenly, all the police officers they encounter are listening to that song and singing along.

Zhirafa manufactures a lot of animal inspired drones (in this case drone=robot, not a flying drone) for construction job purposes. If you were to have any megacorp create a prototype humanoid drone, it would likely be them.

There are Robot R Mk. 2s in 2077 which are defense robots that are owned by different megacorps, the police, and rich people like Kerry Eurodyne. They’re androids, but not very human-like. They’re very clearly robots.

Despite this, since there are lifelike full-borgs, it’s definitely possible they’ve used a similar style of body for a prototype. I think their movements would be the hardest thing to make lifelike since they aren’t piloted by a human brain, so there would definitely be an uncanny valley effect to them. They’d basically move like really detailed video game characters, but in real life.
