Friends and Relationships

[serene trail]

I don't feel that I am part of the town since I have no friends or relationships. If this is a simulator, then I think this game is missing something.

First impressions are a big thing so if you were rude to a random person and then come back to them a few cases later, you may not remember them, but they remember you and may not be willing to help you without a steep price.

Kinda like a individual karma system where you build a history with these people on a one-by-one basis.

Could this work with your social credit?

social credit is an orwellian way of saying government compliance. It has nothing to do with social interaction or economic credit.

you do also recieve social credit from vandalising random people from other random people's requests. So it doesn't make complete sense

Making believeable connection would be hard. But could maybe happen, if the npc dialouge stuff is also improved a lot. It could be you befriend and start getting tips from a specific person a lot, and they help you out and notify you whenever there's good tips. Then later it could become more personal if they are harrased or murdered

Social credit vs Underworld credit, perhaps? Depending on the job
