Idea for dead end contacts

[contributor]

Ok, so I posted this in a thread somewhere else and was advised to make it a separate wish list post. The idea is basically to take those dead end contacts and use them to add some non-mission related flavor to the game. You find a dead guy and rifle through his pockets and find a v-chip, maybe it's somebody important to your work or maybe it's his mistress, maybe it's his pizza delivery guy. Anyways, the sky's the limit on the type of random conversations you could have, but they would be an opportunity to add some depth/fun to the game.

A hilarious use for those dead-end contacts would just be endless conversation trees about some random topics. You just got a V-chip for the old man who's lonely as hell and been dying for someone to talk to about his grandkids that he never sees, and low and behold you called! In a way it would add a certain amount of realism to the game. Not everybody out there is trying kill somebody else or deliver something somewhere. They have no idea how you got their v-chip and want to know who you are and why your calling and then they hang up on you and block your number.

Just thought of the idea, that maybe, to save fallen some more work, he could give the community a few guidelines and let members try their hands at scripting one of these random dialogues. Of course using them would be solely at the TB's discretion.

Me three. I like this idea.

Doesn't hurt that I've ... already written a few CK missions. 'Cause I do that.

Not sure why.

That is actually awesome. It would let the community play a "useless" part in the game but significant enough to let it be proud of themselves and make the game more rich of content. I totally approve.

great! this can help us add flavor to the factions through the personalities that will develop through the random ramblings. should we use this thread for posting after TB gives us guidelines?

[Officer Genious]

First TB would have to approve. Ahem.

Ahhh, sure - fine by me. Please try to make it approved canon discussions. I don't want to waste anyone's time.
