Now, it's true that Gothic's NPCs are light-years ahead of Morrowind's in terms of interactivity. But judging from the latest G2 screenshots, and the info on the official site, only 500 NPCs will grace the world -- while the world size itself has increased five times. I hope 500 NPCs won't make the world look too "empty". Sure, wilderness areas with few or no NPCs are cool, but so are crowded towns! What I liked best about G1 was the feeling of a bustling camp around you. Hope they maintain this feeling in G2.

Perhaps they mean 500 real NPCs (as opposed to the "Digger" and "Shadow", etc.)

500 is alot in a RPG. Morrowind have about 3000, but how many of them have something unique to say? 100? and how many of them actually has a "role" in the story? I could count with one hand. So don't worry about it. 500 is more than enough.

Well, if there is a REAL war between the Orcs and the humans, then 500 NPCs might seem limited. I would certainly enjoy watching the war!

Yes Moonslash, but they aren't NPC (NON plaing character), they are FPC (FIGHTING plaing character)!!!!!!!!

Hehe. As somebody in the Morrowind forums put it, NPCs in that game are "quest vending machines: just click on a static NPC to get a quest!"
