maybe you could slowly become friends with other npcs and have your own adress book or something

oh no, the murder victim was my friend / oh no, the murderer is my friend

Love this idea. Would be so neat to head to the same diner every morning for a cup of coffee just to have a chat with my friend Bill. Would be a great opportunity to make cases more personal as well in case a killer decided to off your friend.

Yeah like you could decide whether to arrest them or cover it up

+1, this would be great.

Or imagine making friends with the local enforcers so they will let you into crime scenes, or buddying up to the security guard or janitor in a building to get access to tenant records and cams in the control room.

Buddy up with the pawn shop employee and they might let you in on some rare goods or drop the name of someone who pawned off an item that was stolen from a client.

To bump this old request I’ll piggy back

  • NPC Interaction Mechanics:
    • Players can talk to NPCs and give them gifts to increase comfort and familiarity.
    • Higher comfort levels unlock new dialogue options and deepen relationships.
  • Friendship Development:
    • NPC friends offer more personal conversations (e.g., life updates, personal struggles).
    • Players can stage "hangouts" with friends:
      • Visit their place or invite them over.
      • Activities include having a beer, watching a game, etc.
  • Romantic Relationships:
    • Strong friendships may evolve into romantic partnerships.
    • Romantic interactions replace hangouts with dates.
    • Partners can eventually move in with the player
    • Occasionally, a close friend or partner may be murdered
      Great if there were emotional depth, realism, and meaningful connections with npcs
