Last Week's Poll's Results

What we asked:

Q: How do you like the NPCs that can join your party in a CRPG?
(320 votes total)

Few to pick from, but very detailed (158) 49%
Somewhere in the middle (144) 45%
Many different ones to pick from, but less detailed (18) 6%

There can be no doubt that the majority (49%) of those who voted prefer to have fewer joinable NPCs available as long as they are very detailed personality-wise.

Almost as many again (45%) like their NPCs to be somewhere in the middle - relatively many to pick and relatively detailed.

Finally, only 6% of poll participants prefer to have a big number of joinable NPCs available, but have them less detailed.

Please keep in mind that this poll was constructed with the realistic situation in mind - of course if there was an option "many to pick from and all very detailed" the majority would vote for that, but there are hardly any such CRPGs around. This poll was set primarily to determine if people preferred a big number of NPCs over detailed NPCs. (Obviously not the case.)
