NPC sociability

I noticed something about the sociability of NPC's from the latest screenshots over at Action Vault.

Take a look at these...

Screenshot 1
Screenshot 2
Screenshot 3

First of all: the bars aren't very populated IMO !?!
Second: every NPC is sitting on a table alone !! Not very sociable and cozy, are they !?!

@the PR Beta testers: Did you notice this also in the game or are there still bars in the game that are full and alive ? Am I wrong about these screenshots ?

Please let me know.

What do you want to see? Coupls making out in public?
Why do you want to know eachother better when you'll be flying in a different system 7 minutes later? But again, the final word comes from the PRBT.

LOL.

It does seem a little sparse doesn't it.

All it needs is a little tumble weed to complete the effect

Heh,my guess is that you'd want a bar like in Deus Ex which has some of the best bar scenes I've ever seen in terms of NPC sociability but it has always been like that in all videos in which there wasn't much sociality amongst the NPCs.


No big loss though since most of the time is going to be spent in space anyways unless you plan on hitting on one of the NPC women besides this is FREELANCER NOT SIMS :HOT DATE.

True, I was hoping the bars would be like that one in the E3 2001 trailer. People dancing, lights going everywhere, people talking ETC. Of course it still could be like that, after all, it was beta code that was sent out.

Those guys look like outcasts: waiting for you to talk to them but would never start a conversation .
I hope to see the bars more animated...

Thay do seem a bit empty.But from what ive read you can talk to everyone in them which considering the amount of pubs/bars there are in fl is no small task.

Yah, in an older FL trailer, you see a cutscene of a bar with tons of ppl dancing with strobe lights and everything. I did suggest that to the guys but I guess it wont be done...
