The number makes it seem like the player is making some sort of weird friend inventory.<br /><br />And maybe add some different titles depending on how close to the player an NPC is, so that a romantic partner could be listed as "new boyfriend" or "soul mate" or a friend as "close friend" or "new friend". Stuff to make it seem like it's the PC's own reckoning of her relationships.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4402139144450897998.post-36300336776285736452015-05-18T23:16:52.960+01:002015-05-18T23:16:52.960+01:00How about something like making males more conserv...How about something like making males more conservative or macho in some situations?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4402139144450897998.post-58045752251049686942015-05-18T23:13:13.421+01:002015-05-18T23:13:13.421+01:00Are friends going to be purely platonic?
