"Sounds like" response for NPC questioning

[gloomy nymph]

When an NPC is requested to identify someone from a picture that hasn't got enough information, they could mention an NPC who matches the information that is provided. Say the only info you have on a person is that they have red hair, the NPC might mention their roommate or co-worker who has red hair - might be the right person, might not be, but it would provide a little bit of balancing to those side jobs that don't quite generate enough intel and leave you with less than no leads to follow.

Hard agree on this

ig it would make cases a bit easier,not like they arent already easy enough,and remove logic,if your mom's name was Ana,and i asked you,do you know someone named Ana,you would probably not tell me at all,or tell me about your mother.its js realism

i wanna add something i forgot.The game out get way more boring,its more fun having a list of potential targets and suspects than knowing "oh the 1 npc is the killer!"

I really want this as well, in tandem with a a sort of "Speculative Citizen" feature, which is basically an Unknown Citizen that the player can create and configure - typing in a name and inputting whatever profile information you have.

There have been cases where I can find evidence for someone's first name, and also find their first initial & surname, and know it's the same person, but the game won't let me put them together until I find their full name in the wild somewhere, which is very annoying.

i literally made a suggestion about this 💀

Oh, so you did, I didn't see it until now

If anything, put it this way:
I didn't see your post until you brought it up.
The idea wasn't plagiarised/stolen, we just had the same idea which, if anything, gives it further merit
