Random events would be awesome. I love something to break the usual grind of a game.
that sounds super repetitive. especially from the poor repetitive ai ubisoft showcased. spot, react, run, chase, rinse, repeat.
i think variation will be key. like someone said, if you see a robbery, it shouldnāt always go down the same way. robber canāt just run until you catch him every time. sometimes he might surrender on the spot and speak to you, or heāll break out a club, dagger, or axe and come at you.
the playerās freedom of choice in these moments will then add even further variation. player can just stab them, beat them up, warn them, or take them to the guards.
interesting narrative options would then be opened up, and a āreputationā system based on kcdās word of mouth simulation engine here would be pretty nice, affecting how npcs react to you. say if you spared a robber who was clearly intent on murdering you, you have a reaction type from npcs that emphasizes your mercy and even temperament.
typing this out i just realize what a nightmare it is to code for this game. just a random event can involve so many variables.
This has to be in the game, otherwise you will have nothing to do anymore after you have completed it and DLC has not yet been released. Itās also fun since you donāt know what to expect and how you will react. I think we can suggest the usual random event like stopping a murder from happening or seeing someone steal an item but I would also like to suggest some events:
- *Building is set ablaze and people are still inside.
- *Drunken local is harassing a woman.
- *Fight in a tavern breaks lose and you are asked to help.
- *Group of hired mercenaries or soldiers are coming to kill you.
- *Important person is about to be assassinated.
- *Local fishermen is drowing and needs to be rescued.
- *Merchant is lost or has a broken down cart and needs an escort.
- *Nobleman or person of high status challenges you to a duel.
- *Random person is about to be executed from hanging or beheading.
- *Villager comes asking for help since soldiers have broken into his home and are threatening to kill his family.
- *Worker needs to repair something and ask for your help to make sure heās not attacked.
Random encounters and events would be a huge request as it provides end game continuation and therefore prevents stagnation of walking around with nothing to do. Sometimes itās just fun to go have a fight to gain experience for levelling up. Gain new gear etc. It would be bad if this wasnāt implemented.
There will be random events in the final game. DonĀ“t worry. 
Is that confirmed? Iām definitely known for having the odd crazy moment lol
Yes, i can confirm random events. They are already in developer build of the game, they are not finished yet, but they will be in final game.
