Behind the Scenes: NPC and Dialogue System

  • Oooh! Brand new Behind the Scenes video today on NPCs and the dialogue system!

    Jon's roaming the halls of Rare again looking for exclusives. This time he's grabbed Sea of Thieves Design Director Mike Chapman and Software Engineer Topher Winward for the latest on in-game NPCs!

  • Let's kick back and relax for some news :)
    Thank you for posting this.

  • Very cool stuff!

  • This is such c**p! The last time I had someone tease me this much, I wasn't allowed to touch them! 😆💰

  • I do not understand very well for the future they will make a live campaign that is to say they can add NPCs in the world to some place in the taverns, in the camps on the islands and these NPCs will stay there for a while limited with quests that earn unique items, then they will leave and others will come? With this type of quests more built on the Lore we can solve mysteries around the world like this one ?

  • Very exciting tidbits here... Anything that you interract with could potentially be offering you lore/ quests/ adventure!
    I like that exploring this world us going to reward pirates just as much as questing... Bravo again! ;D

  • Sounds awesome, but what's the little sea of theives action figure thing I spied on the desk?

  • With each little update Rare posts, I'm more and more impressed with the amount of immersion Mike Chapman has envisioned for this game. Let's hope it becomes just that!

  • NPC books, How cool!

  • The NPC variation looks great and will help the world feel more immersive. But I'm really excited about the mention of emergent quests. Riddle books sound awesome!

  • @filthymanbeast It was the ghost Captain given out at one of the expos a couple years ago. Very hard to come by now.


    Did no one notice what was on the bottom corner of the left side monitor at the 0:50s mark?

  • @ionei-falcon This is really exciting! The emergent quests from books and other items that you find in the world as well as riddles sound excellent.

  • @katttruewalker I do not understand English very well there will be quests in the books? As we mentioned once? https://www.seaofthieves.com/forum/topic/24265/narrative-quests

  • @KnightX13 what do your elven eyes see? I see a skeleton of sorts

  • Mike and Topher look like they could be Father and Son.

    Was it bring your kid to work day?

  • @knightx13 Would that be this guy? ;)

    The emergent book, maps and riddles really do get me quite excited about unique quests that no one else can pick up... it's all about being the first pirate legend!

  • Can someone explain to me how NPC will be used in this game? Is he talking about the traders?

    He also mentions how they can have NPC dynamically come into the world, WHICH is cool, I hope this actually means they will give ports more life and taverns more life, I really am curious how interesting these NPC will be.

    I still want to see a port bristling with life..there is taverns there for a reason so I assume besides players there is other adventurers that come by

    The one that excites me possibly the most is when we will first notice the navy, since this is the golden ERA of pirates I am sure some common folk will seek to get rid of the p*******s called pirates....I wonder how rare is going to handle that sort of stuff...if an EXPANSION will end up allowing players to play the NAVY or if it'll be NPC encounters

  • I'll be sure to interact with literally everything I see now :)
