For example if one wanted to retire from roleplaying a character that was a transport captain, it would be a nice touch if it could still exist in-game as an NPC.
Same could be applied to bar NPCs. Like, imagine going to a Freeport and there's Bessie Bishop BHG NPC telling me how she used to be an adventurer like me before she took a blaster shot to the left wing.
I LOVE THIS IDEA!! Please do!
I would love to see the Inn if I were to stop RPing as an NPC. And maybe the 'famous' People that are kinda legendary and everyone knows their name could be candidates for NPC 'immortality' .
I'm fine with that (within reason).
Person names are a little tricky though, due to the way the game generates them. It's two separate lists of names, first names and surnames. There's no specific way to guarantee a full name. You could enter the entire name as a first name, and then it'd look like "first middle surname", I suppose.
Bit funky. I'd have to think about how that would practically work.
